THE HISTORY or Dlt. sCHENCK's OWN
CASE AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.


Many years ago, while r, ding IL PhilRdel-
phia, had Trogcssed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. An hopes OF
my recovery being dis,ipated, was advised by
my phyei0an, DIR. Parrish, TO remove into the
country, MoOrestovu, New jersey, being my
native place, was removed tAither. My father
and al his family had Gyed and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Cen sumption. On nay arri-
val ! was put to bed, VII re ! lay for many |
weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition !
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fAthef's family |
! ply sclan and had attendei him in his last i'll. |
mess, was called 10 see me, He thOus hit my case |
! entirely beyond tie reach Of medicine, and de- |
cided that must die, and gave me one week 20 |
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless condition, heard Of the remedies
which nov make and sell. Il seemed TO me
tina. could feel them working their way, and
Penetrating every nerve fire, and tissue Of my
system.
My lungs and liver put on Z new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat The d ferent organs of tie
BODY, was eliminated, the tuberoles on my lungs
On my lung ripened, and l txpec GRATED from
my lunes as much as a pint Of yellow offensive
matter every morning, As this eXPect Grafton Of
matter subside5, the fever abated, the pa Il left
me- the cough ceased to hari ass ne, and the eX-
haustipg nj. ht sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, 10 which / had lorg
been stranger. My app tjte nov began 20 re-
turn, and at linn found il difficult TO restrain
myself from eating too much With This return
Of health gained in streng b, and now am
feshy. 1 am now q healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe Of the right
lun z and the lower lobe hepatiged with complete
adhesion Of the pleura. The lcii lang is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in tole-
rably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought 10 be
an incurable disease By every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially suca cases al were edu ed to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people TO be-
lieve my recovery emily temporary. l now pre-
pared and gave the medi>ines TO consumpuYes
for come time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that | de-
termined 10 offer them to the Iublc, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, vas next to forced to il for people would
send for me far a. d near, to ascertain whether
their cases were like mine,
For many years, 10 Injunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular proft sional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past ] have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
''Respir Ometer," For such examination my
charge J. three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition Of his disease

The great reas on why physicians do not curt
Construction 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 ~
the seeretions, and eventually the patient dis.
