THE HISTORY OF DIR. soHENoK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.

ihh hkDloh1 of DtAs SShENNh'o OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phis, had progressed gradually into the last
stage OF Pulmonary Consumption, All hopes of
my recovery being dissipated, was advised by
my physician, DIR. Parrish, to remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. My father
and all his family had lived and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val l was put to bed, where lay for many
weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition.
DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply stefan, and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, was called TO see me. He thought my case
entirely beyond the reach of medicine, and de-
cided 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 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 irritated the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung rpened, and 1 expectorated from
matter every morning. AS this expeetoration Of
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me- and the ex-
hausting night sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which L had long
been a stranger. Ny appetite nov began to re-
turn, and at times found il difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return

healed cioatrix 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 tnat time was thought to be
an incurable disease by every one, physicians az
well as those who were unlearned in medici ne
especially such cases as were reduced 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 consumptiyes
for some time, and made many wonderful cures;
and the demand increased SO rapidly that de-
termined 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 whe Their
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my Or in
cipal 0 flee in Philadelphia, have been making
regular Professional Visits to New York, Boston,
baltimore and fittsburg.
For several years past / have. made as MANY
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respr ometer." For such examination nv
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease
aud tell him frankly whe ther 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 seeretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one Of the most yalu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
iy tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains NO
opium, yet looseus the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
noni one bottle frequently cares an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first TO take dose of
Schenek g Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and abb
sorbed into blood, TO which it imparts its healing
properties. Ii is one Of the best prepar atoms Of
iron IN usej it is powerful tonic of ITSELF and
when the Seaweed Tonic dissolyes the mucus in
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the
Mandrake Pills, healthy fJw Of gastric juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
1he Seaweed Tonic is a slim ulant, and none
other is required when it is used. 1t is pure and
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disord ers the stomach, torpors
the liver, locks MP all the secret ons turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a-davs
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female. are stunt.
led with this poison. The relief is temporary.
f they cough, they take little whisky; if thew
eel weak and feeble, they take little whisky.
they cannot sleep, they take little whisky:
md they 90 on in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloated up, and imagine

ose their appetite for fooS. No one was ever
ured Of consumption by this process, where
aVatles have been formed in the lungs. A little

ives, such as pure brandy or good wines, in
lany cases London porter or brown stout in
Moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
rs on, instead Of curing consumption.
