 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 fast stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was advis- ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, I was removed thither. My father and all his fami- ly had lived and died there-and died of Pull
 
 put to bed, where lay for many weeks in what was deemed q 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 I must die, and gave me one week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this remedies which now make and sell. It seenl ed 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 accumulated and irritated the different organs of the body was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and l expectorated from my lungs as much as pint of yellow offens- i've matter every morning. As this expecto- ration of matter subsded, the fever abated the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhausting night-sweats were no longer known. and I had refreshing sleep, te which had long been stranger. My appe- tite now began to return, and at times found it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in l strength, and now am feshy. 1 am now a 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 sound, and the 1 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-esp 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 l 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 1 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 I principal office in Philadelphia, have been making regular professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsburg. I For several years past, have made as ma ny as five hundred examinations, weekly with the Respirometer.' For such examination nv 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 we'll.
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try to do too much j; they give medicines to try to stop the cough to stop the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing, they derange the whole digestive system, locking up the secle'ions, auu eVeh'u- 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 it off with little exertion 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 oI and a1o had inf blood to which it imparts it's healing proper ties. It is one of the best preparations Of iron | in use it is a 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. l The seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none other is required when it is used. It Is pure and pleasant :; no bad effects like when using | Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stom- ach, torpors the liver, locks up all the secre- 1 t;ons. turns the blood into water, dropsy sets in. and the patient dies suddenly.
 I Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a- days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe- i male, are sturifed with this poison. The re- lief is temporary If they cough, they take little whisky if they feel weak and feeble, thev take a little whisky if they cannot sleep, they takea little whisky and they go on in this way requiring more and more until they are bloated up, and imagine they are getting aesby. The stomach, liver, and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed, and, lose their anpetite for food. No one was ever cured of consumption by this process, where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A little stimu- lant is freouently beneficial to consumptives, sueh 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. Tine Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results, thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di- oestive system, and enabling it to eliminate And make into healthy blood the food which nav he used for that purpose. It is so won darfuI ir its effects that wineglass full will dioest a hearty meal, and little of it taken hafSre breakfast, will givea tone to the storn. aeh. which few medicines possess the power of ao1Tg, Tps MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with entire re safety by all ages 'and conditions. pro ducing all the good results that can be obtain ed from calomel, or any of the mercuriaf med ;c;nes and without any of their hurtful or in. iurions % results. They carry out of the system the fecnlent and worn out matters loosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull. monic Syrup. It will be seen that all three Of 1,y ; iI ;c;nes are needed in most cases to cure
