 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 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 monary Consumption. On my arrival I was put to bed, where lay for many weeks in what was deemed a 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
 
 and decided that must die, and gave me one week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless condition, I heard of the remedies which now make and sell. It seehi- 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 a new actiol, 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 ofens- 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. I am now 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 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 well as those who were unlearned in medicine-espe cially such cases as were reduced to the conditionI 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 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. aud Pittsburg.
 For several years past, have made as ma nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with the Respirom eter." 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.
 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 secretions, 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 1t oil with little exertion one bottle frequently cures an ordinary colo {; but it will be well first to take a dose of Schenck's Mandrake l Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonit 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 dissolves the mucu' in the stomach, and is carried off by the aid o the Mandrake Pills, a healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol 1 low.
 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 tions. turns the blood into water, dropsy set in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended nova days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe male, are sturifed with this poison. The re little whisky if they feel weak and feeble they take little whisky if they cannot sleep they takea little whisky /; and they go on il this way requiring more and more until the, i are bloated up, and imagine they ares gettiE. Heshy, The stomach, liver, and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed, and lose thei appetite for food No one was ever cured o 1 consumption by this process, where cavitie l have been formed in the lungs. A little stimu lant is frequently beneficial to consumptives such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases. London porter or brown stout in mode rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hasteni 1 on. instead of curing consumption.
 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 it's effects that wine-glass full will digest a hearty meal, and a little of 1t taken before breakfast, will give tone to the stom- ach. which few medicines possess the power oi doing. The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with entire safety by all ages land conditions. pro ducing all the good results that can be obtain ed from calomel, or any of the mercurial med icines. and without any of their hurtful or in- furious results. They carry out of the system the feculent and worn-out matters loosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull monic Syrup. It will be seen that all three of mv medicines are needed in most cases to cure Consumption. ,,, ..
