 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 last stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was advis- ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the country Moorestown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, I was removed thither. My father and all his fami lv had lived and died there-and died of Put monary Consumption. On my arrival 1 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, 1 heard of the [ ed to me that could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my system.
 1 My lungs and liver put on 8 new actiol, 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 I 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, ts which had long been a stranger. My appe- tite now began to return, and at times l found it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength. and now am heshy. 1 am now a healthy man, with a large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatzed with complete adhesion of the pleura. The left lung is sound. and the upper lobe of the right one is in a tolerably healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought to | be an incurable disease by every one, physi- | clans as well as those who were unlearned in medicine-especially such cases as were reduced to the condition was in. This induced many people to believe ny recovery only temporary l now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives for some time, and made many wonderful cures and the demand increased so rapidly, that 1 determined to offer them to the public, and devote my undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, I was next to forced | to it, for people would send for me far and near, to ascer tain whether their cases were like mine.
 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia, have been making regular professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsburg. ,$ Io ny as five hundred examinations, weekly with the "Resprom eter." 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 we'll.
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consum ption is that they try to do too much ;; 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.
 The 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 bronchial tubes, and nature throws it off with little exertion one bottle frequently cures an ordinary cole ; but it will be we'll first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonlc 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 powerful tonic of itself and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus in the stomach, and is carried of by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol- low.
 The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and mono 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 set' in and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a- days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe male, are stupifed 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, they takea little whisky; and they go on in this way requiring more and more until they are bloated up, and imagine they are getting feshy. The stomach liver, and digestive pow CTS 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 little stimu- lant is frequently beneficial to consumptives, such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases, LonuOu porter UT DIO"u stOub III uCut- rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens on, instead of curing consumption.
 The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results, thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di- gestve 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 wine-glass full will digest hearty neal and 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 hurtful or in iJurious results. They carry out of the system the feculent and worn-out matters loosened and dissolved by my Seawesd Tonic and Pull
