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

PMS, LAu IlNENNheth EihNANAAg INV lorh |
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of
my recovery being dissipated, j was advised by
my physician, Dr. Parrish, TO remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. Ny father
and AL his family had lived aud died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri.
val | was pat to bed, where lay for many |
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition. |
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family |
ply siuan and had attended him in his last ILL |
mess, was called TO see me. He thought my case |
entirely beyond TIE reach of medicine, and de- |
cided that must die, and gave me one week to |
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently |
hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies
which nov make and sell. 1t seemed to me
that could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue Of my
system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritattd the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and eXpectorated from
my lungs as much pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration 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 had long
been a stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn, and at times found it difficult 10 restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health gained in strength, and now am
heshy. I am now healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adh sion of the pleura. The left lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in tole-
| rably healthy condi ion.
Consumption st that time was thought to be
an incurabie disease BY every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were redu ed 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 eonsumptiyes
| for some time, and made many wonderful cures;
| and the demand increased SO rapidly that de-
termined to offer them to the IRblc, 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 prin-
| cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional 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 is three dollars, and it enables me to give
/ each patient the true condition of his disease,
| and tell him frankly whe Their he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try to do too much I;
they give medicines to stop the cough to stop the
night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they
IL
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonio Syrup is one Of the most yalu-
| able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
| ly tonic and healing in itself 1t contains no
| opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
| ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold 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 abb
sorbed into blood TO which it imparts its healing
properties 1t is one of the best prepar atoms of
iron in use; it is powerful tonic of itself; and
when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus in
the stomach andis carried offby the aid of the
Mandrake Pi is a healthy flow of gastric juice,
good appetite, and a good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none
other is required when it is used 1t is pure and
Il
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpors
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nowadays
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi-
fed wi h this poison. The reliefis temporary,
If they cough, they take little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky
if they cannot sleep, they take a little whisky
and they go on in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloa'ed up, and imagine
they are getting feshy. The stomach, liver, and
digestive powers completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for foed. No one was ever
cured of consumption by this process, where
cayaties have been foI med in the lungs. A little
stimulant is frequently beneficial to comsump-
tiyes, such as pure brandy or good wines, in
many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast.
ems on, instead ofcuring consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigo, sting the stom ach and diges-
tive system, and enabling 1T to eliminate and
make into heal by blood the foodwbieh may be
used for Il at purpose. tits so wonderful in its
effs cts that wine glsss full viii digest hearty
meal, and a little OF Il taken before breakfast
will give tone 10 the stomach which few xedi-
oines possess the power of doing 500
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by all sges and conditions, produc-
ing all the good results that can be detained
from calomel, or any Of the mercurial medicines
and without any Of their hurtiul or injurious re-
suits. They carry out OF the system the feculent
and worn. out matters leosened and dissolved by
my Sawed Tonic and Pulmonio Syrup. 1t
will be seen that al three of my medicines are
needed in mest cases TO cure Consumption.
