THR HISTORY OF DIR. ScHENoK's OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION,

vi
Mny years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phia,l had progressed gradually into the last
stageof Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of
my recovery being sipated, was advised by
my Physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being NY
native place, was removed thither. My father
and all his family had dyed aud died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri.
val i was put to bed, whore lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition.
DR.. Thorntoi, who had been my fathers family
ply sician, md had attended him in his last ILL.,
ness, was called to see me. He thou. hit my case
entirely beyond t reach of medicine, and de-
cded that must die, and gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless condition, ] heard of the remedies
which nov make ard sell, 1t seemed to me
that l 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 rritat the d tferent organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and eXpec; GRATED from
my lungs as much as pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration of
matter subided the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex-
hausting night swests we're no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn, and at tim found it difficult TO restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
Of health gained in strength, and now am
feshy. am now healthy man, with a large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion Of the pleura. The left 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 incurable disease BY every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases were redu ed TO the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
Heye my recovery only temporary. i now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptiyes
for some time and made many wonderful cures;
and the demand increased so rapidly that de-
termined 10 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 a. near, to ascertain whether
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, I have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsuurs-
For several wears past have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
Fer such . szsmin ..a sn my
each patient the true condition of his disease
and tell him frankly whether he will get we'll.
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 I'D
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most yalu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold but it will be well first to take dose of
Schenek's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and alb
sorbed into blood, to which it imparts its healing
properties. 1t is one of the best preparations 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, a healthy flow OF gastric juice,
good appetite, and q good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none

pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpors
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 days
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi-
fed wi h this poison. The relief is temper sry.
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky
if they cannot sleep, they take a little whisky
and they go on in this way requiring more and
mere until they are bloated 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 comsump.
tives, such pure brandy or good wines, in
many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast.
ems on, instead Of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
| thoroughly invigorating the stomach and diges-
tive system, and enabling it to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. II is so wonderful in its
effects that wine glass fuIl Will digest hearty
meal, and little OF it taken before breakfast
will give tone to 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, produc-
ing all the good results that can be obtained
from calomel, or any of the mercurial medicines
and without any of their hurt III or injurious re-
suits. They carry out Of the system the feculen;

my Seaweed Tonic and Puimonic Syrup. II

needed in most cases 10 cure Consumption,
