 THE HISTORY OF DR. sCHENCK's OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION.
 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 advis. ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove in.o the country. Moorestown. New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, was removed thither. My father and all his fami- ly had lived and died there-and died of Pull. monary Consumption. On my arrival was what was deemed 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, heard of the remedies which now make and sell. It seen,- ed to me that I could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my system.
 My lungs and liver put on new actioL, and the morbid matter which for years had tad irrifafad tho difforout Orpa | of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and expectorated from my lungs as much as pint of yellow ofens- i've matter every morning. AS this expect0- ration of matter subsided, the fever sbated, the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhaustiag night-sweats were no longer known. and had refreshing sleep, te which had long been stranger. My appe- tite now began to return, and at times fo and it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in 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 a 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-espe 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, have been York. Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsburg.
 For several years past, have made as ma ny 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 well.
 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 dersnge 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 1t of with little exertion; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary cole but it will be well first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into blood, 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 mucus 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 Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none other is required when it is used It is pure and pleasant i; no bad effects like when using Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stom. ach, torpors the liver, locks up all the secre- tiens, turns the blood into water, dropay set 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 they take little whisky if they cannot sleep they takea little whisky; and they go on il 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 inyigorating 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 wine-glass full will digest hearty meal. and little of 1t taken before breakfast, will give tone to the stom- ach, which few medicines possess the power of doing.
 The eMANDRAKEPILLS may be taken with entire safety by all ages land conditions, pro ducing all the good results that can be obtain ed from calomel, or any of the mercurial med icines, and without any of their hurtful or in- juriLus 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.
