 THE HISTORY OF DR. scHENCKs OWN
 CASE. AND HOW HE WAS CURED Or
 CONouMPIloN.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia. had progresse, gradually into the idst stage If Pulmonary Consum ption. All hopes oi my recovery be,ng diesipated, Was advis ed by my phy sican. Dr. Parrish, to remove in:o the country. Moor' stuwn. New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, 1 Was remuveh tLither. My father and all his falni. ly had lived and died tiIere-and died of Pull munaiy Consumption. Ca my arrival l was pu, to bed, wh,lc I lay Tor many weeks in what was deemed Il hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers family physician and had attended him ln his lasL illness, was called to Sec me. ll1 thou sht my case entirely beyond the leach of medicine, and decided that must die, and gave me one week lu arrange my temporal aitais. In this appai enliy hupriess condition, 1 heard of the remedies which now make and sell. It seell- cd to me that could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, aud tissue of my system.
 My lungs anu liver put on a new actiol, and the morbid matter which for years Id accumulated and irrilate,l the different uIgans of the body, was eliminated, the tubeIclcs my lungs ripened, and I eXpectoritcd from my lungs as much as q pint o, yellow otfen- i've matter eve,y morning. As this expecto- ration of matter subsided. tne fever auatsd. the pain lett me, the cough ceased to harIa>s me. and the exliausting nigh'-sweats were no longer known. and had refreshing sleep, t. which hal long been d stranger. My apic lite now began to return, and at times tu lnd it difficult to restrain myself nom eating too much with this Ielun tt health, gained ill strength and now an heshy. l atn now a healthy man, with a large healed ci,sltrix in the middle lobc of the rtSht lung ant tlle low CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion oi the pleura Inc lett lung is sound, and the upper lobc of the right one Is ln d tolerabiy healthy condition
 Consumption ut that time was thought to be an ihcurable disease by every one, physi clans Us well as those who were unearheu ill mediclne-rsp cially such cases as We're reduced to the condition was in. This induced meny people to believe my r,Cove.y only temporary l now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives tor some tlme, and m lde M my wonderful cures and the demand increased so rapidly, that determined to offer them 10 the public, and devote my undivided attention tu lung diseases. ln truth, l was next tu forced to it, for people would send for me far and near, to ascertain whether their c;.scs Were like mine.
 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia, l have been making regular professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburg.
 For several years past, have made us ma nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with the kespirometer Tor such examination my charge is thr dollars. and 1t enables me to give each patient the condition ot his dis- ease. and tel, hin frankly whether he Will ge, we'll.
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try todu too slucii they give medicines to try to stop tho cough, to stop the nighl-swe,lts, nectic lever. anu uy 50 doing. they derange the whole digestive system, iocking u., ,hc sscretions, aud evsntu- ally the patient dies. ss
 The pulmoilic Syrup is one of the most val uabls medicines kuown. Iris nutrient, pow erfully tonic and healing in itself. It con tains no upiam yet iooeens tine phiegm in ths bronchial tubes, and nature throws 1t of with little exerton one bvttie frequently cures an ordinary col, !; butMlt will be We'll first 10 take a dose of Scacnck's Mandrake Fills to cic,lse the stam .ch. Inc Paimonic Nyrup is readily digc,tcd aud absorbed into blood, to which 1t lmiparts its healing proper tics. IL is one oi the best preparations of Iron in use; it. is a powcrlnl tonic ot itself; aiid when the Seaweed ionic dissoves tine mucur in the stomach and is carried of by the .lld of the Mandrake Piils, ;- healthy flow ot gastric iuice, good appetite, and good digestion ial- low.
 The Seawe-d Tonic is a stimulant, and none other is required when it is used It is pure and pl,.as.,nt no bad effects like when using Bourbon whi ky, which disorders tho stom- acll; tuipois the liver, locks up all the sccte- tions turns the blood into water, dropsy set. in, and tie patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recom ncnded now-a- : days by almost every payaician. Many pa tients that visit my iuunDs, both male and fe- male. ale stul flied with this poison. The re- lief is temporary. If they cough. they take a little whisky II they ieel weak and feeble, they take a little whisky ifthey cannot sleep, they takea little whisky an.i they gu on in this way reqttiIing mnrc an, mo,U uutil they are bloated u,., and imagine they are getting fesl,y. The stomach, ivcr and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed, and lose their appetite for food Nu 0ne was ever cured of consumption by this process, where cavities have been formed in the lungs A little stimu- hnt is tiequentiy benefcial to consnmptises. such as pure brandy ur g g1ol wines, in many eases, London porter or brown stout in mode rate quantities i; but Bourbon whisky hastens o0s ansssad of curing consumption.
