 l Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel-
 phia, had progressed gradually into the last
 stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
 of my recovery being dissipated, was advis-
 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 I 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
 case entirely beyond the reach of medicine, and decided that must die, and gave me one week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless condition, heard of the ] remedies which I now make and sell. It seehl- l ed to me that,I could feel them working their | way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and 1 tissue of my systAW.
 My lungs and liver put on a new action, I k1, fknr oh fAn accumulated and irritated the different organs of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and I expectorated from | my lungs as much as pint of yellow offens- 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 fo and it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength, and now am feshy. I am now a 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 so"nd. and the upper lobe of the right one is in a tolerably healthy condition.
 Consumption at that time was thought te be an incurable disease by every one, physi clans as we'll as those wAo were unlearned in medicihe-especia such cases aa were reduced to the condition 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, l have been | making regular professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsbnrg. For several years past have made as ma nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with ! the "Respirometer." 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 | well.
 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 pight-sweats, hectic fever, and by
 so doing, they derange the whole digestive
 system, locking up the secretions, and eventu-
 ally the patient dies.
 The Pplmonic 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 it off
 with little exertion one bottle frequently l cufes an ordinary cold but it will be we'll
 first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake | Pills to cleanse the stomach The Pulmonic
 Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into
 blood, to which it imparts its 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 mucus in the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of
 the Mandrake Pills, a healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol- low.
 The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, 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 stom-
 ach, torpors the liver, locks up all the secre
 tions, turns the blood into water, dropsy seti in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a-
 tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe
 male, are sturifed with this poison. The re-
 lief is temporary. If they cough, they take a
 little whisky if they feel weak and feeble.
 they take little whisky if they cannot sleep,
 tf6v takea little whisky; and they go on in
 this way requiring more and more until they
 are bloated up, and imagine they are getting UeSny. The SCOmncn, lVeF, anu diScStIVe pow
 CTS are completely destroyed, and lose their
 appetite for food. No one was ever cured of
 consumption by this process, where cavities
 have been formed in the lungs A little stimu-
 lant is frequently beneficial to consnmptives,
 such as pure brandy or good wines, in many
 cases, London porter or brown stout in mode
 rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens 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
 may be used for that purpose. It is so won
 derful in it's effects that a wine-glass full will
 digest hearty meal, and a little of it taken
 before breakfast, will give tone to the stom-
 ach, which few medicines possess the power of
 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 hurtfnl or in- ] juriCus 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 my medicines are needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
