The History Of Dr.. Schench'S own Case, ,e
hOar he Was cured Of Consumption.


Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dissipated, was advised
by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the
country. Moorstown, New Jersey, being my ma

weeks in what was deemed IA hopeless condi-
tion. DIR. Thornton who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
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; 1t SEEM
ed to me that | could feel them workng their
way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and
tissue of my system.
My lungs and liver put on a new action, and
the morbid matter which for many wears had
accumulated and irritated the different organs
of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on
my lungs ripened, and l expGctorated from my
lungs as much as a pint of yellow offensive mat

myself from eating too much; with this return

The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. IT is nutrient, power

The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results

medicines possess the power ofdoing.
The Mandrake Pills may be taken with entire
safety by all ages and conditions, producing all
the good results that can be obtained from cal
omel, or any of the mercurial medicines, and
without any of their hurtful or injurious re-

by my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. IT
will be seen that all three of my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption;
