 THE HISTORY OF DR. SCHENCK'S OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia. had progressed gradually into the fast stage of Pulmonary consum ption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, I was advis cd by my physician. Dr. Parrish, to remove into the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity. was removed tf.ither. My father and ali his fami- iy had lived and died there-and died of Pull rnonary Consumption On my arrival was put to bed, where I lay for many weeks in what was deemed 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, l heard of the remedies which now make and sell. Ii seeln- 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 new action, and the morbid matter which for years had accumulated and irritated the different organs of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and expectorated from my lungs as much as pint Of yellow ofens- i've matter every morning. As this expecto- ration of matter subsded, 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, to which had long been a stranger. My appe-
 ite now began to return, and at times found it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in streny tn, and now am feshY. am now a healtAT-faan, 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 tolerabIy healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought to be ali incurable disease by every one, physi- clans as well as those who were unlearned in
  to the condition was in. This induced many .people to4believe 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 ranilly. that determined to offer them to the pnblic and devote my undivided attention to lung diseases In truth, l was next to forced ,o it. for people would send for me far and near. to ascertain whether their cases were like |
 mine. zsf58
 For many years, in conjunction with my | principal office in Philadelphia, have been making regular professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsburg. 1 For several years past. have made as ma l nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with the Respirometer'' For such examination | my charge is thr. dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dis ease, and tell him frankly whether he will gel we'll. s9' SsN+.
 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 night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing, they derange the whole digestive system locking up the secretions, and eventu ally the patient dies.
 ihe Pulmonic 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 1 bronchial, tubes, and nature throws it of with little exertion one bottle frequently | cures an ordinary cole; but it will be well | first to take a dose of Schenck's Mandrake | Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonie Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts it's healing proper ties. It is one of the best preparations of iron | in use |; it is & powerful tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus l in the stomach and is carried off by the aid oi the Mandrake Pills, healthy How of gastric l juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol low
 I The seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none | other is sreauired when it is used It is pure and pleasant no bad effects like when using | Bourbon whi-ky, which disorders the stom- ach, torpors the liver, locks up all the secre- | lions. turns the blood into water, dropsy set in. and the patient dies suddenly.
 1 Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a' days. by almost every physician. Many pa l tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe- 1 male, are supplied with this poison. The re | lief is temporary. If they cough, they take a | little whisky if they feel weak and feeble, they take alittle whisky if they cannot sleep they takea little whisky and they go on in l this way reouiling more and more until they are boated up, and imagine they are getting feshy. The stomach, liver, and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed and lose their appetite for food No one was ever cured ol consum ption by this process, where cavities have been formed in the lungs. little stimu- lant is ffequently beneficial to consumptives 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- gestiye system, and enabling is to eliminate and make into healthy blood the food which may be used for that purpose IL is so won derfui in it's effects that a wine-glass full will digest a hearty meal. and little oft taken before breakfast, will give a 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 and conditions, pro ducpg all the good results that can be obtain ed from calomel, or any of the mercurial med icines. and without any of their hurtful or in- furious results. They carry out of the system the fecnlent and worn-out matters ioosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull monic Syrup. It will be seen that all three of my med;cines are needed in most cases to cure Consumption. @
