THE HISTORY OF DIR. soHENcK's OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel.
phia, he'd Progressed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes Of
my recovery being dis'ipated, was advised by
my physician, Dr.. Parrish, 10 remove into the
country, MoOrestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. My father
and all his family had iiyed and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val / was put to bed, whore / lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition.
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply sClGn, and had attended him in his last i'll
ness, was called TO see me. He thous ht my case
entirely beyond reach Of medicine, and de-
cided that 1 must die, and gave NE one week 10
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless condition, heard of the remedies
which nov make ard sell. II seemed TO me
that could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, FIBRE, and tissue Of my
system.
Ny lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat,d the tferent organs Of the
body, eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung rpened and l expectorated from
my lung as much as pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration cf
matter subsidei, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased 10 harrass me, and the ex-
hausting nj sht sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
beena stranger. Ny appetite now began 20 re-
turn, and at times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much ; with this return
of health gained in strength, and now am
heshy. I am now a healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe Of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion Of the pleura. The lefs lung is sound,
| and the upper lobe of the right one is in tole-
rably healthy condition.
! Consumption at that time was thought to be
an ncurable disease By every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were redu ed to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptives
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that / de-
termined to offer them to the Tublc, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases In
truth, was next TO forced to it for people would
send for me far a d near, to ascertain whether
their cases were like mine
For many years, in injunction with my prin-
cipal ofhoe in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past | have made as MANY
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respirometer." For such examination nv
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
and tell him frankly whether he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try to do too much;
they give medicines 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 eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonc Syrup is one of the most vaIu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in itself. II contains no
opium, yet loosers the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws If off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first 20 take dose of
Schenek's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and abb
sorbed into blood to which it imparts its healing
properties 1t is one of the be prepar atoms of
iron in use; it is 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 ri Is, healthy fow OF stric juice,
good appetite, and a good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic IS a stimuant, and none
other is required when ii is used It ia pure and
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpo r S
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-days
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms both male and female, are stupi-
fed wi b this poison. The relief is temper 4ry.
If they cough, they take little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take a little whisky;
ifthey cannot sleep, they take little whisky;
and they go on in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloa ed up and imagine
they are getting feshy. The stomach, liver. and
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
cured of consumption by this process, where
cavaties have been formed in the lungs. A little
stimulant is frequently beneficial to eomsump-
tiyes, such as pure brandy or good wines, in
many cases London porter or brown stout IA
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
ems on, instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
: thoroughly invigOratng the stomach and diges-
tive system, and enabling it 20 eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. It is so wonderful in its
effects shat wine glass full viii digest a hearty
meal, and little OF it taken before breakfast
will give tone 70 the stomach which few medi-
cines possess the power Of doing
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by all ages and conditions, produce
ing all the good results that can be obtained
from calomel, or any of the mercurial medicines
and withoutsny of their hurt III or injurious re-
suits. They carry out of the system the feculent
and worn ont matters loosened and dissolved by
my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. II
will be seen that all three Of my medicines are
peeded in most cases to cure Consumption.
