The HISTORY OF DR.. SCHENCK's OWN CASE
AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, whilst residing in Philidel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
Of my recovery being dissipated, was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, TO remove into
the country. MoorestOwn, New Jersey, being
my native place, Twas removed theither NV
father and all his family had lived and died
there-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my arrival l was put TO bed, where lay
| for many weeks IN what was deemed hopeless
condition. DIR. Thornton, who had been my
fathers family physician, and had attended him
| in his last illness, 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 aPpearantly hopeless condition,
l heard of the remedies which ! now make and
sell. II seemed to me that l could feel them
working their way, and penetrating every nerve,
| fibre, and tissue of my system. fIllfl
My lungs and liver put on new action and
the morbid matter which for years had accum-
ulated and irritated the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles Of INV lungs
ripened, and | expectOrated from my lungs as
much as pint of yellow offensive matter every
morning. As this expectoration of matter sub
sided, the fever abated the pain left me- the
cough ceased to harrass me- and the exhaustinp
night-sweets were no longer known, and had
refreshing sleep, TO which j had long been
stranger. My appetite now began to return,
and at times found it difficult to restrain my
self from eating too much; with this return of
health, gained in strength, and now am heshY
| ] sm now healthy man. with large healed
cieatrix in the middle lobe Of The right lung and
the lower lobe hepatized with complete adhe-
sion of the pleura. The left lung is sound, and
the upper lobe of the right one is in tolerably
healthy condition. u t
Consumption at that time was thought TO be
an incurable disease, by every one, physicians
as well as those who were unlearned In medi-
cine-especially such cases as were reduced to
| the condition | was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temporary
/ now prepared and gave the medicine to con-
sumptiyes for some time, and made many won
derful cures; and the demands increased 30 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 il
for people wound send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their cases were like nine
| For many in rfi,,- -
principal office in Philadelphia, | have been
making regular professional visits to New York,
Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburg
For several years past | have made as many
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 true condition of his disease,
aud tell him frankly whether be will get we'll.
The great reason why physisians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try to do too much;
they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop
the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
| they derange the whole digestive system lock-
ing up the seeretions, and eventually the patient
dies.
The PulmOnic Syrup is one of the most val
liable medicines known. 1t is nutrient power
fully tonic, and healing in itself, 1t contains
no opium yet loOsens the phlegm in the brOnch-
ial tubes and nature throws it off with little ex-
| ertlOn. ODe OOJIle frequently cures an sOruln-
ary cold; but it will be well first to take dose
of Schenck's Mandrake's Pills to cleanse the
stomach. The PulmOnic Syrup is readily di-
gested and absorbed into blood to which it i'm
| parts It's healing properties. It is one of the
best preparations'O of iron in use; it is powerful
tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic
dissolyes the mucus in the stomach, and is car
ried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills,
healthy flow OF gastric juice, good appetite and
a good digestion follow.
The Seayeed Tonic is a stimulant, and none
other is required when il is used II is pure
and pleasant; no bad effects like when using
Bourbon whisky which disorders the stomach
torpers the liver, locks up all the secretioDs
turns the blood into water, drOpsy sets in and
the patient dies suddenly.
| Bourbon whskey is recommended nOw-a-
days by almost every physician. Many patients
that visit my rooms, both male and female, are
stupefied with this poison. The relief is tenn
porsry. If they cough they take little wins
| ky; if they feel weak and feeble they take a
little whisky; if they cannot sleep they take a
little whisky; and they go in this way, re-
quiring more and more until they are blOated
up, and imagine they are getting heshy. The
stomach liver, and digestive powers are com
pletely DESTROYED and lose their appetite for
food. No one was ever cured of consumption
| by this process, where cavities have been form
| ed in the lungs. A little stimulant IS frequent
ly beneficial to consumptives, such as pure
| brandy or good wines; in many cases London
porter or brown stout in moderate qualities; but
Bourbon whiskey hastens on instead Of curing
consumptioB.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly iuvigOrating the stomach and di-
gestive system, and enabling il to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. 1t is SO wonderful in
its effects that a wineglass full viii digest a
hearty meal, and little of it taken before
breakfast viii 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 OBJ
famed from caIomel, or any of the mercuTial
medicines and without any of their hurtful or
Injurious results. They carry OGt of the sys-
| ten, the feculent and wOn-out matters loosened
and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull
monic Syrup. 1t will be seen that all three OF
nv medicines are needed in most cases to cure
] Consumption.
