Tie History Of DR.. Schencks own Case, &c
hOU he 1raS cured Ot Consumption.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel-
h p GrannS INTO S opss ns
of my recovery being disSipatcd, was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
tive place, was removed thithcr. My father
and all his family had lived and died there-and
died of pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val was put To bed, where | lay for many
weeks in what was deemed Il hopeless condi
ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
last illness, was called to see me. He thought
and decided that must die, ana gave me one
week to arrange my temporal affairs In this
rdeGes Wick now make ana sell It Sc Seem me
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 n new action, and
the morbid matter which for many years had
accumulated and irritatcd the different organs
of the body, was eliminated, the tuberclcs
my lungs ripencd, and cxpectoratcd from my
lungs as much aS Il pint of yellow offensive mat
ter every morning. As this cXpcctoration of
matter subsidized, the fever abatcd the pain left
me, the cough ceased To haiass me, and the eX-
|hausting night-sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
tuen and f at Times GHcn nw % to restpan G rG
myself from eating TOO much; with this return
ofhealth gained in strength, and now am
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatzed with COM
plete adhesion of the plcura. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe OF the right one is in
| II tolorably healthy condition.
| Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurable disease, by every one, physicians
as well us those who We're unearncd in medi-
the condition l was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temporary.
| | now prepared and gave the medicines to con-
sumpliveS iorsonc Time and made many Won
dcriul cures and the demand increased so rap
idly that determined To offer them To the pub
| lie, 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 prin-
ctpal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
Forseyeral years past have made as many
"Respirometer." For such examination my
charge is three dollars and it enables me to
ease and tell him an wheher he e' viii vii ais ge
well. The great reason why physicians do not
re hry ye G t m sE , M to do too
stop the Mig ht sweats, hectic fever and by SO
doing they derange the whole digestive system,
| locking up the secretionS, and eventually tho
patient dies.
| The Pulmonic Syrup is one ofthe most valu-
aGlS medicines known. It is nu,rient power
opium, yet loosens the phlegn in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws IT OFF with little exer
ton. one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but ii will be well first to take dose OF
Schencks Mandralie's Pills to cleanse the sto-
mach The PulmonicSyrup is readily digested
and absorbed into blood, to which il iinparts it's
healing properties. 1t is one of the best prepa-
itself; and when the 'scaweed Tonic dissoives
the mucuS in the stomach, and is carried off by
the aid of the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow Of
gastric Juice, good appetite, and good diges-
tiOn follow.
The Scaweed Tonic Is Stimulant and none
other is required when il is used. 1t is pure d
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bour-
pors the liver, locks up all the secretions turns
the blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the pa
tieHt dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now n DAYS
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stu
pified with this poison. The reliefis temporary
If they cough they take a little whisky; il they
feel weak and feeble they take n little whisky;
and they go on in this way, requiring more and
more until they are bloated up, and imagine
they are getting heshy. The stomach, liver and
digestive powers are completely destroyed and
cured ofconsumptiOn by this process, where
cavities have been formed in the lungs. A lit
tie Sttmulant is frequently beneficial to con-
SumptiVes, such as pure brandy or good wine;
i'll many eases London porter or brown stout IN
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has
tens ON instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly inriGorating the stomach and di-
gCstiVc system, and enabling il to eliminate d
make into healthy blood the food which NAV
be used for that purpose. IL is SO wonderful in
It's effects that n wine glass full will digest n
hearty meal, and little of u taken before eat
Ing 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 obtained from cal
omel, or any of the mercurial medicines, and
without any of their hurtful or injurious re-
suits. They carry out of the system the feculent
and worn-out matters loosened and dissolved
/, by my Seawced Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. II
will he seen that all three of my medicines arc
needed in most cases TO cure Consumption:
