 THE HISTORY OF DR. SCHENCK'S OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION. s..-r...-a.[ ......s-...s s.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia, had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was adyis- ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the country Moorcstown. New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, 1 was removed thither. My father and all his fami- ly had lived and died there-and died of Pull monary Consumption. On my arrival I was put to bed, where I lay for many weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers family physician, and had attended him in his last illness, was called to see me. He thought my case entirely beyond the reach of medicine, and decided that must die, and gave me one week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless condition, 1 heard of the remedies which I now make and sell. II seehI ed to me that could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my system.
 l,,,,r oy,A Exr..r oofs and the morbid matter which for years had accumulated and irritated the different organs of the body, was eliminated, the tubcrcles on my lungs ripened, and I expectorated from my lungs as much as a pint Of yellow offens i've matter every morning. As this expectO- ration of matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me- and the exhausting night-sweats were no longer known. and had refreshing sleep, te which had long been stranger. My appe- lite now. began to return, and at times I fu md it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength and now am feshY. I am now a healthy man, with a large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion of the pleura. The left lung is sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is in a tolerably healthy condition
 COnSumptlOh at tlldG Ilillc WtS tO be an incurable disease by every one, physi clans as we'll as those who were unlearned in medicine-espt cially such cases as were reduced to the condition was in. This induced many people to believe my recovery only temporary now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives for some time, and made many wonderful cures and the demand increased so rapidly, that determined to offer them to the public, and devote my undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, was next to forced to it, for people would send for me far and near, to ascertain whether their cases were like mine. .
 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia, I have been making regular professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsburg.
 For several years past. have made as ma nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with the .Respirometer" For such examination my charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dis ease. and tell him frankly whether he will get we'll ff -# -...-.
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try to do too much they give medicines to try to stop the cough, to stop the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing, they derange the whole digestive system, locking up the secretions, and eventu- ally the patient dies.
 The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val uable medicines known. It is nutrient, pow erfully tonic and healing in itself. It con tains no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and nature throws it off with little excrtion one bottle frequently cures an ordinary colo but it will be we'll first to take dose of Schencks Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts its healing proper ties It is one of the best preparations of iron in use it is q powerful tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus in the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol- low. --t
 The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none other isreauired when it is used. It is pure and pleasant no bad effects like when using Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stom- aeh, torpors the liver, locks up all the secre lions, turns the blood into water, dropsy Set in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a- days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe- male, are stupifed with this poison. The re-
 lief is temporary. If they cough, they take a little whisky; if they feel weak and feeble. they take little whisky if they cannot sleep, they takea little whisky; and they go on in this way requiring more and more until they are bloated up, and imagine they are getting feshy The stomach, liver, and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed and lose theil appetite for food. No one was ever cured o consumption by this process, where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A little stimu lant is frequently beneficial to consumptives such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases, London porter or brown stout in mode rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens on, instead of curing consumption.
 The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di- gestive system. and enabling it to eliminate and make into healthy blood the food which may be used for that purpose. It is so won derful in it's effects that wineglass full will digest a hearty meal. and little of it taken before breakfast, will give tone to the stom- ach, which few medicines possess the power oi doing.
 entire safety by all ages 'and conditions. pro ducing all the good results that can be obtain ed from ealomel, or any of the nercurial med icines, and without any of their hurtful or in jurious results. They carry out of the system the feculent and worn-out matters loosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull monic Syrup It will be seen that all three of my medicines are needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
