THE HISTORY OF DR.. sCIIENCK's OWN CASE, AND
HOW HE WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago. whilst residing in Philadelphia, had
gradually the last stage Of Pulmonary Con-
sumption. All hopes of my recovery being dssipated,
advised by physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into
the country Moorestown New jersey, being my native
place. was removed thither My father and all his family
had lived and died died Of Pulmonary Consump-
ton On my arrival put to bed where lay for many
weeks in what deemed hopeless condition. DR..
Thornton who had my fathers family physician, and
had attended him his laot Illness called to see me-
He thought my entirely beyond the reach of medicine
and decided that must die and me one week to ar
range my temporal affairs. In this apparently 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 and fibre, and tissue OF
my system.
My lungs and liver put a action, and the morbid
matter which years had accumulated and rrated the
different organs of the body eliminated the ubercles
my lungs rpened, and eApeotorated from my lungs
as much as pint yellow offensive matter every morning
As this expecoraon Of matter subsidized the fever abated
the pain left me- the cough ceased to harrass and the
exhaustng night-sweas longer known, and had
refreshing sleep, which had long been stranger My
appetite now began return, and at times found it DIFF
cult restrain myself from eating too much with this re-
turn Of health, gained in strength, and now am heshy
am now fleshy with large healed ccatrx in the
middle lobe OF the right lung and the lower lobe hepatzed
with complete adhesion Of the pleura The left lung is
sound and the upper lobe Of the right one is in toeraby
healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be ncurable
disease by every one physicians well as those who were
unlearned in medicine-especay such re-
duced to the condition This induced people
to believe my recovery only temporary now prepared
and gave the medicines consumptves for time, and
made many wonderful cures and the demand increased SC
rapidly determined to offer them to the public, and
devote my undivided attention to lung diseases In truth
was next to forced to it, people would send for me fa
and near, to ascertain il their were like mine
For many years, in conjunction with my principal Office
in Philadelphia have been making regular professions
visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh
For sevRra years past have made as many as I'VE hun
dred examinations weekly, with the "Respiromeer" Po
examination my charge is three dollars, and 1t enable
give each patient the true condition Of his disease

The great reason why physicians do not cure Consump
ton is they try do too much they give medicine
to stop the cough stop the nghsweats hectceve AM
by doing they derange the whole digestive SYSTEM lock
ing up the secreons and eventually the patient dies
The Pulmonc Syrup Of the most valuable medicine
known nutrient, powerfully tonic and healing In It
self 1t contains opium, yet oosens the phiegm in tn
bronchial tubes and nature throws of with little exeron
one bottle frequently ordinary cold but 1t Will

cleanse the stomach. The pumonic Syrup is readily d
gesed and absorbed into blood which it mparts Its hea
ing properties 1t Of the best preparations Of iron
use; Is powerful tonic Of itself; and when the seawee
Tonic dissoves the in the stomach, and is carried
by the aid Of the Mandrake Pills healthy flow Of gasr

The seaweed Tonic is smulant, and none other is n
quired when is used IL is pure and pleasant no ba
like when using Bourbon whisky which disorders Il
stomach torpors the liver locks all the secretons turf
the blood water dropsy sets in, and the patient d

| Bourbon whisky Is recommended nowadays by almo
every physician Many patients that visit my rooms, Dol
male and female are stupid with this poison. The relief

such as pure brandy good Wines in many cases Lond

The seaweed Tonic produces lasting results, thorough
