The time for my being in Baltimore and Pitts
burg will be seen in the daily papers of those
cities.
| THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
| Many years ago, while residing in Phiadel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stage OF Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of
my recovery being dis,pattd, l was advised by
my physician, DR., Parrish, TO remove into the
country, Moorestown, New jersey, being NY
native place, was removed thither. My father
and al his family had rived and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri
val l was put to bed, where l lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition
| DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply siclan, and had attended him in his last ILL
| ness, was called TO see me. He thoug hit my case
entirely hey ond tie reach of medicine, and de-
cided that must die, aad gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs In this apparently
| hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies
which now make and sell 1t seemed to me
that I could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, FIBRE and tissue of my
system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and rrtat,d the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and I expectOrated from
my lungs much a pint Of yellow offensive
matter every morning As this expectoration Of
matter subsidej, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass ne, and the ex-
| hausting nigh sweats we've no longeEknown,
and had refreshing sleep, to which 1 had long
been stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn, and ct times found it difficult 10 restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health gained in strength, and now am
| feshy. l am now a healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion of the pleura. The lief! lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in a tole-
rably healthy condition.
| Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurable disease By every one, physicians as
| well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were redu ed to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. l now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptives
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased SO rapidly that / de-
termined 10 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 az near, to ascertain whs the
| their cases were like mine.
| For many years, ih conjunction with my prin
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been maxim
regular professional visits to New Y ork, Bost or
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past ! have made as man
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with Il
"Respir ometer.n For such examination II
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to gi
each patient the true condition of his diseas
and tell him frankly whe Their he will get we'll.
The great reason why physicians do not CT
Consumption is, that they try to do too nut
they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop
= night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing IL
J derange the whole digestive system, locking
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies
!. The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most va
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerf
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains
opium, yet looseps the phlegm in the bronch
tubes, and nature throws it off with little ex
, | ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordina
cold; but it will be well first TO take dose
Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomac
! The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and a
sorbed into blood, to which it imparts its healir
| properties 1t is one of the best preparations
iron in use; it is a powerful tonic of itself; an
when the Seaweed Tonic dissolyes the mucus
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of ii
Mandrake ri Is a healthy flow of gastric juic
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and non
other is required when it is used. 1t is pure an
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bourbo
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor
the liver, locks up all the secretons, turns tn
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the paten
| dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a-day
by almost every physician. Many patients this
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stup
| fed wi this poison. The relief is temper AIRY
If they cough, they take little whisky; if the
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky
if they cannot sleep, they take little whisky
, and they 60 on in this way requiring more an
more until they are bloated up, and imagin
thew are getting feshy. The stomach, liver, an
/ | digestive powers are completely destroyed, an
lose their appetite for food. No one was eve
cured of consumption by this process, whel
cayaties have been formed in the lungs. A lit
stimulant is frequently beneficial to comsum
= tiyes, such as pure brandy or good wines,
s many cases London porter or brown stout
: moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has
: ems on, instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting result
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and dige
tive system, and enabling it to eliminate al
make into healthy blood the food which may
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in
effects that wine glass full will digest hear
meal and little of it taken before breakfa
will rive n tone to the stomach which few med
cines possess the power of doing @
