The History Of DR.. .Schench's opn Case, C,
ho,c he ,cds cured of Consumption.

Many years ago, whilst residing in PhiadeI-
phia had progressed gradually into the last
stages of Pulmonary C9nsumptton All hopes
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country. Moorstown, New Jersey, being my ma
tive place, was removed thither. My father
and all his family had lived and died there-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption; on my arr-
weeks in what was deemed II hopeless condf-
ton. DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
last Illness, was called to 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

way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and .
tissue of my system.

accumulated and irritated the different organs

myself from eating too much with this return

lung and the lower lobe hepatized with COM

sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is in
II tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time thought to be
an incurablc disease, by every one, physicians

cipal oliicein Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York Boston
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
Forseveral years past bave made ms many
ms nNe hundred examinations weekly with tho
"Respirometer." For such examination my
charge Is three dollars, and it enables, me to
give each patient the true condition of his dis
ease, and tell him frankly whether he will get
well well The great reason why physicians do not
much: they give medicine to stop the cough, to
stop the night sweats, hectic fever, and by so
locking up the secretions. and eventually the
patient dies.
The Pulmonc Syrup is one of the most valu-
fully tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tion. One bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but 1t will be well first to take dose of
mach The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested
and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts it's
healing properties. 1t is one of the best prepa-
ratons ofiron in use; it is q powerful tonic of
ITSELF and when the Seaweed Tonic dissoiyes
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 "a good diges-
tion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is n stimulant and none
other Is required when II is used. 1t is pure &
pleasant no bad effects like when using Bour-
bon whisky, which disorders the stomach, tor
pors the liver, locks up all the secretions turns
the blood into water, dropsy sets in and the pa
tient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky Is recommended now IA days
| by almost every DnySician, MnnN patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stu
pifted with this poison. The relief Is temporary

and they go on in this way, requiring more n nd
more until they are bloated up, and imagine
they are getting tieshy. The stomach, liver and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
cured ofc consumption by this process, where
cavities have been formed in the lungs. A lit
tie stimulant Is frequently beneficial to con
Sumptives, such as pure brandy or good wine:
iu many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has
tens on instead of curing consumption.
! The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-
gcstiVe system and enabling II to eliminate Il
make into healthy blood the food which may
be used for that purpose. IT is SO wonderful in
its effects that wine glass full will digest n
hearty meal, and little of II taken before eat-
ing Will give q tone to the stomach which few
medicines possess the power ofdoing.
The Mandrake Pills may be taken with entire
safety by all ages and conditions producing all
the good results that can be obtained from call
omel or any of the mercurial medicines and
without any of their hurtful or injurious re-
suits. They carry out ofthe system the feculent
and orn-out matters loOsened and dissolved

will be seen that all three of my medicines arc
needed In most cases to cure Consumption:
