 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 last stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was advs into the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, I was removed thither. My father and all his fami- iy had lived and died there---and died of Put. monary Consumption. On my arrival l was put to bed, where l lay for many weeks in
 what was deemed 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 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. It seem. 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 actioa. 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 expectorated from my lungs as much as pint of yellow offens-
 i've matter every morning. As this expecto-
 ration of matter subsided. the fever abated. the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhausting night.sweats were no longer known. and 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 strength. and now am feshy. l am now healthy man, with large healed cicatrix in 1 the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion of l the pleura. The left lung Is so"nd, and the upper lobe of the right one is in tolerably healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought te
 be an incnrable disease by every one, physi clans as we'll as those who were unlearned in
 4nedicine-esps cially such cases as were reduced to the condition was in. This induced many
 people to believe my recovery only temporary now prepared aud gave the medicines to consumptives for some time, and made many
 wonderful cures and the demand increased so l rapidly, that I determined to offer them to the public, and devote my undivided attention to Hung diseases. In truth, was next to forced 1 to it, for people would send for me lar and near, to ascertain whether their cases were like l mine. {, 1 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia, have been making regular professional visits to New York. Boston Baltimore and Pittsburg.
 | For several years past, have made as ma- ny as five hundred examinations weekly with
 the :. Respirometer." For such examination
 my charge is thr,e dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dis ease. and tell him frankly whether he will get well.a @ S @
 The great reason why physicians do not cure
 consumption is. that they try todo too much l they give medicines to try to stop the cough, ito stop the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by % doing, they derange the whole digestive l system, locking up the secretions, and sventu- ally the patient dies. H

 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 1t of with little exerti0n one bottle frequently cures an ordinary colo but it will be well first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake l Pills to cleanse the stomach.
