TnE HrsroRf OF DR. ScHExoK's owN CASE.
AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF COxsUMrr1ox.
Many years ago, whilst residing in Philidel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
Of my recovery being dissipsted, / was advised
by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into

my native place, l was removed theither. NV

there-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my arrival was put to bed, where l Law

Econdition. DIR. Thornton, who had been NV
ArlAt1C1 ItfED Ccu
in his last illness, was called TO see me- He
thought my case entirely beyond the reach of
medicine, and decided that l must die, and
gave me one week to arrange my temporal
affairs. In this GpPearantly hopeless condition,
/ heard of the remedies which now make and
sell 1t seemed 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 action, and

much as pint of yellow offensive matter every

cicatrix in the middle lobe Of the right lung and
the lower lobe hepatised with complete sdhe-
sion Of the Pleura. > The left lung is sound. and
the upper lobe Of the right one Is in a tolerably
healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought 10 be
an incurable disease by every one, physicians
as well as those who were unlearned in nnedi-
cine-especially such cases as were reduced to
the condition l was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temp6farv.

sumptives for some time and made many won

idly that determined to offer them to the pub

for people wound send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
Is For many years. in conjunction with my
principal office in Philadelphia 1 have been
making regular professional visits to New York.
Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburg.
For several years past have made as MANY
as five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respirometer." For such examination nv
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease
and tell him frankly whether he will get well,
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is that they try to do too much;
they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop
the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by 80 doing
they derange the whole digestive system, lock.
ing up the secretiOns, and eventually the patient
dies
4 It he Pulmonic Syrup one of the most val
liable medicines known. 1t is nutrient, power
fully tonic, and healing in itself 1t contains
no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronch-
ial tubes, and nature throws it of with little ex-
ertion. One bottle frequently cures an ordin-
ary cold; but it will be well first to take A dose
of Schencks Mandrake's Pills to cleanse the
stomach. The PuImonic Syrup is readily d.
gested and absorbed into blood, to which if i'm
parts its healing properties. 1t is one of the
best preparations Of iron in use; it is powerful
tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic
dissolves the mucus in the stomach, and is car.
.ried off by the aid of the Mandrake PiIls a
healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite and
good digestion follow.
F The Seaweed Tonic is a stim1lant, and none
other is required when it is used. It is pure
and pleasant; no bad effects like when using
Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stomach,
torpers the liver, locks up all the secretioDs,
turns the blood into water, dropsy sets in, and
the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whiskey is recommended now-a-
days by almost every physician. Many patients
that visit my rooms, both male and female, are
stupefed with this poison. The relief is tenn
porary. If they cough they take little whis-
ky; if they feel weak and feeble they take a
little whisky; if they cannot sleep they take
little whisky; and they go on in this way, re-
quiring more and more until they are bloated
up and imagine they are getting feshy. The
stomach, liver, and digestive powers are COM
pletely destroyed, and lose their appetite for
food. No one was ever cured of consumption
by this process, where cavities have been form
ed in the lungs. A little stimulant is freoueut-
ly beneficial to cOnsumptives, such as pure
brandy or good wines; in many cases London
porter or brown stout in moderate qualities; but
Bourbon whiskey hsstens on instead of curing
consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-
gestive system, and enabling it to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which NAV be
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in
its effects that a wineglass full viii digest a
hearty meal, and a little Of it taken before
breakfast will give tone to the stomach which
few medicines possess the power of doing.
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken
with entire safety by all ages and conditions,
producing all the good results that can be OBJ
tanned from calomel, or any of the mereurial
and without any OF their hurtful or
injurious results. They carry out of The sys-
TEN the feculent and worn-out matters loosened
and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull
monte Syrup 1t VIII be seen that all three of
my medicines are needed in most cases to cure
Consumption.
