The History Of Dr.. ,Schench's own Case, &c
ho,c he ,cuS cured Of ConSumption.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadcl-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stages OF Pulmonary Consumption. Az hopes
| by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the
country. MoorStown, New Jersey, being my ma
and all his family had lived and died there-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption; on my arri-
val was put to bed, where | lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condf-
ton. DIR. 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., l heard of the
ed to me that | could feel them working their
way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and
tissue of my system.
My lungs and liver put on a new action, and
the morbid matter which for many years had
accumulated and irriatcd the different organs
my lungs ripcncd, and eNptrtorated from my
lungs as much as pint of yellow offensive mat
matter subsidized. the fever abatcd, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harass me, and the ex-
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger. My appetite now began to re-
myself from eating too much; with this return
OF health, | gained in strength, and now am
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with COM
pete adhesion of the pleura. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is in
IA toerahly healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
as wei as those Who were eTf uneorned m IN 'G med
lcine-especlally 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 con-
lsumptives forsome time, and made many Won
derful cures; and the demand increased so rap
IDLY that determined TO offer rthem to the pub
diseases. In truth. / was next to forced to it,
for people would send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their eases We're like mine.

Baltimore and Pttsburg.
Forsevcral years past | have made as many
as hNe hundred examinations weekly with the
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to
give each patient the true condition of his dis
well. The great reason why physicians do not
cure Consumption is that they try to do, too
much they give medicine to stop the cough, to
stop the night sweatS, hectic fever, and by so
doing they dcrangc the whole digestive system,
patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient power
fully tonic, and healing in itself 1t contains no
, opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it or with little exer-
tion. One bottle frequently cures an ordinary
Schcncls's Mandrake's pills to cleanse the sto-
mach: The rulmonicSyrup is readily dgested
healing properties. 1t Is one of the best prepa-
rations o1ir3n in use; it is powerful tonic of
the nucuS in the stomach, and is carried Off by
the aid of the Mandrake Pills Il healthy flow of
gastric juice, good appetite, and n good diges-
tion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stmulant, and none
other is required when Il is used 1t is pure Il
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bour-
bon whisky, which disorders the stomach, tor
pors the liver, locks up all the secretions, Turns
the blood INTO water, dropsy sets In and the pa
tient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a days
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visitmy rooms, both male and female, are stu
plied with this poison. The reliefs temporary.
II they cough they take n little whisky; If they
feel weak and feeble they take little whisky:
II they cannot Sleep they take a little whisky,
ana they go on in this way, requiring more and
they are getting tlCshy. The stomach liver and
digestive powers are completely DESTROYED. and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
cured of ofconsumption by this process where
tie stimulant is frequently beneficial to con
sumptives, such as pure brandy or good wine;
III many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has
tens on instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly inVigorating the stomach and di-
gestlNe system, and enabling IL to eliminate ~
make into healthy blood the food which may
its effects that wine glass full will digest a
hearty meal, and a little of 1t taken before eat
ing viii give n tone to the stomach which few
medicines possess the power ofdoing.
The Mandrake Pills may he taken with entire
safety by all ages and conditions, producing all
the good results that can be obtained from cal
omel, any of the mercurial medicines, and
without any of their hurtful or injurious re-
and worn -out matters loosened and dissolved
by my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. 1t
will be seen that all three of my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption;
