 THE HISTORY OF DR. sCHENCK'S OWN
 CAiE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 COiSuMPTlON. 4.i '' I-I-a
 May years ago, whilst residing in Philadei- phia. had progressed gradually into the fast stagef Pulmonary Consum ption. All hopes of mjrecoyers being dissipated, was advis ed bymy physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove in.o Ge country Moorestown. New Jersey, beiny the place of my nativity, l was remSed rlither. My father and all his fami- iv nal lived and died there-and died of Pull monay Consumption On my arrival was put t, bed, where I lay for many weeks In whatwas deemed q hopeless condition. Dr. Ihor.ton, who had been my fathers family pbyscian. and had attended him in his last iIln-s was called to see me. He thought my cas.. htirely beyond the reach of medicine, and fecihed that must die, aud gave me one weebto arrange my temporal affairs. In this appaeutly hopeless condition, heard of the rem dies which now make and sell. It seein- .a t, me that could feel them working their wayl aId pen. Irating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my sA stem.
 :. My iings and nvcr put on d Few actloL, and the. n orbid matter which for years had accumulated and irritated the different organs of the body, was elilninate,i, the tuhercles "n my lungs ripened, and I sxpectoratcd from my lungs as much as pint oi yellow offens- i've matter every morning. As this expecto- ration of matter subsided, the fever aoated, the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me- and the exhausting night-sweats were no longer known. and had refreshing sleep, tS which hai long been a stranger. My appe- ite now began to return, and at times fO md it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much !; with this return ot health. gained Ill strength, and now am feshy. l am now heaIthy man, with d large healed cicatrix ill fine 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 upner lobe of the right one is in toierabiy healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought te be an incurable disease by every one, physi cians as we'll as those who were unlearned in metiicine-espe 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 consumptives for some time, and made many wonderful cures and the demand increased so ranidlv. that determined to offer them to the public. and devote my undivided attention to iunp 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. l 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. -~r ! The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try to do too much ; 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 secretlons, and eventu- 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 of with little exertion one bottle frequently curesan ordinary cole but it will be well first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonie Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into 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 dissolyes the mucuf in the stomach, and is carried off by the aid ot the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol low. "-- ~
 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 whi-ky, which disorders the stom- ach. torpors the liver, locks up all the secre- lions, turns the blood into water, dropsy set 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 stupifsd 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; 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 feshy. The stomach, liver and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed. and lose their appetite for food No one was ever cured of consumption by this process, where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A little stimu- Iant is freauently beneficial to consumptives, such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases. London plrtef or brown stout in mode rate quantities ; but Bourbon whisky hastens on. instead of curing consumption. ss
 The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results, thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-- gestiye system. and enabling it to eliminate and make into healthy blood the food which may be used for that purpose. It is so won derful in its effects that wine-glass tuii will dipest hearty meal. and little of it taken hefore breakfast, will give tone to the stom- ,3ch. which few medicines possess the power of doing.
 The MANDRAKE PULLS may be taken with entir. safety by all ages and conditions. pro dpcinp all the good result ts that can be obtain cd from calomel, or any of the mercurial med ic;nes and without any of their hurtful or ln- inr;,.rs resnlts, They carry out of the system ffbe facnlent and worn-out matters loosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pul. no,,;c Svrnp. It will be seen that all three of m medicines are needed in most cases to cure Consumption ,,,n
