 THE HISTORY or DR. ScHENCK'S OWN CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Phiiadsl- phia, had progressed Gradually into the fast stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, I was advis- ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove inso tho country. Moorestown, New Jerssy, being the place of my nativity. was removed rhithsr. My father and all his fami- ly had lived and died there--and died of Pull monary Consumption. On my arrival l was put to bed, where lay for many weeks in what was deemed 6 hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers family physician, and had attended him in his last illness, was called to sso 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, heard of the remedies which now make and sell. It seeh,- ed to me that I could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my system.
 My lungs and hver put on . now action, and the morbid matter which for years had accumulated and irritated the different organs of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and I sxpsctorated from my lungs as much as Q pint of yellow ofens- i've matter every morning. Az this expecto- the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhausting night-sweats were no longer known. and I had refreshing sleep, te which had long been stranger. Ny appe- tite now began to return, and at times found it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength. and now am feshy. I am now healthy man, with 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 sornd, and the upper lobe of the right one is in tolerably healthy condition.
 !, Consumption at that time was thought te be an incurable disease by every one, physi- clans as we'll as those who were unlearned in medicine especially such cases ss were reduced to the conditionI was in. This induced many people to believe ny recovery only temporary. :. i now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives for some time, and made many wonderful cures i; and the demand increased SO that Id irao k, &hovo n thA 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. 39 1'11.'@ 2. tb' 2. +-.s
 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia, 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 dollsrs, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dis ease, 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 1; they give medicines to try to stop the cough, to stop the night-swsats, hectic fever, and by [so doing, they derange' the whole digestive 
 ally the patient dies. 4'z~ ae ?.
 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 of with little exertion one bottle frequently cures an ordinary cold but it will be we'll first to take 8 dose of Schencks Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach The Pulmonic a.. g. &ol f,ato lblood, to which it imparts It's healing proper ties. It is one of the best preparations of iron in use it is . powerful tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucua in the stomach, and is carried of by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and . good digestion fol- low.
 The Seawesd Tonic is stimulant, and none other is required when it is ueed. It is pure and pleasant no bad effects like when using Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stom- tiens, turns the blood into water, dropay setl in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended nova. days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe- male, are sturifed 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 1f they cannot sleep, they takea little whisky; and they go on in this way requiring moro 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 their appetite for food. No cone was ever cured oi 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 modet rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastsns 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 % won derful in its effects that wine-glass full will digest hearty meal, and little of it taken before breakfast. will give tone to the stom- ach, which few medicines possess the power of doing. ...
 The MANDRAKE PULLS may be taken with entire safety by all ages sand conditions. pro ducing all the good results that can be obtain ed from calomel, or any of the mercurisl med icines, and without any of their hurtful or in- furious results, They carry out of the system the feculent and woFn-0nt matters loosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull monic Syrup. It will be seen that all three of ,,x, =, are needed in rnoaf casea fo cure
