 THE HISTORY OF DR. SCHENCK'S OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- plia, had progressed gradually into the fast stage uf Pulmonary Consum ption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, I was advis- ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity. 1 was removed thither. My father and all his fami- lv had lived and died there-and died of Pull monary Consumption. On my arrival 1 was put to bed, where 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 Sec 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 seela= ed to me that could feel them~working their
 way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my system.
 E My lungs and liver put on a new action. pand the morbid matter which for years had accum ulated 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 l had long been a stranger. My appe- ttite now began to return, and at times I found it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in 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 bleura The left lung is sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is in tolerably healthy condition,
 Consumption at that time was thought to be an incurable disease by every one, physi- clans as we'll as those who were unlearned in medicine-espe cially such eases 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 rapidly, that determined to offer them to the public. 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 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 nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with the "Respirometer" For such examination my 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. 3a.
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try to do too much i; they give medicines to try to stop, the cough, lto atop the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by 70 doing, they derange the whole digestive ssvstem. locking up the secretions, and eventu- ally the patient dies. The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val nahle 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 of r;th little exertion one bottle frequently cures an ordinary cold but it will be well |f frat to take a dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts it's healing proper ties It is ono of the best preparations of iron in use; 1t is 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, a healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol- The Seawesd Tonic is stimulant, and none ofher ii required when it is used. 1t is pure md pleasant no bad effects like when using Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stom- ach, torpors the liver. locks up all the secre- tions, turns the blood into water, dropsy setl I in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a- days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe-
 male, are stnrideda with this poison The re. lief is temporary If they cough, they take a little whisky if they feel weak and feeble. they take alittle whisky l; if they cannot sleep, they taken little whisky; and they go on in this way requiring more and more until they are bloated up, and imagine they are getting aeshy. The stomach. liver, and digestive pow ers are completely destroyed, and lose their appetite for food. No one was ever cured oi consumption by this process. where cavities have been formed in the lungs little stimu- lant is frcquently beneficial to consumptives finch as pure brandy or good wines, in many
