 THE HISTORY OF DR. sCHENCK's OWN CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED Or CUNsuMpllUN.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- ,hia. had progressed gradually into the fast stage uf Pulmonary Ccnsum otion. All hopes ot my recovery being dissipated, was a,lvis ed by my physcian Dr. Parrish to remove l inso the country. Moor,stown. New Jersey, being the place of my nativity. l wa> | removed thither. My father and all his fami- l iy had lived and died tllere-and died of Put
 nonary Consumption. On my arrival 1 was I i what was deemed hopeless condition. Dr. 1 Thornton, who had been my fathers family physician, and had attended him in his last l illness, was called to See me Re thought my Cast entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
 and decided that must die, and gave me one
 week to arrange my temporal altal,s. In this
 appal ently hopeless condition, 1 heard of the l remedies which now make and Sell. It seehI-
 cd to me that c,,ul,l feel them working tiieir
 way, and penetrating every perve, hbte, anc ! tissue of my system.
 My lungs and liver put on a new fctiol
 and the morbid matter which for years il d I accumulated and irritated the different organs
 of the body, was eliminated, the tuoerc.cs "n
 my lungs ripened, and I expecturstcd from
 my lungs as much as a pint ot yellow oTens-
 i've matter every morning. As this expecso-
 ration of matter subside;l, tue fever mt-d. l the pain left me, the cough ceased to Larra>s 1 me anu the exhausting nightsweats were no
 longer known. and had reireshiny sleep, t.
 which had long been q stranger. My sippc- 1 ite now began to return, and at imcs tu :nd | it difficult to restrain myself from eating too
 much with this return ct health, gained in strength and nov am deshY. 1 am now a
 healthy man, with a large healed cicatrix in
 the middle lobe of the right lung ana the low l CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion of
 the pleura. 1he left lung is sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is in d tuIeraby
 healthy condition
 | Consumption IA at that time was thought to be an incurable disease by every one, physi clans as well as those who Were uniearned in
 medcine-esp, cialIy such cases as were reduced
 to the condition Was in. This induced many people to believe my recovery only temporary | i now prepared and gave the medicines to conSumptiveS for some tme and m ade LA my wonderful cures and the demand increased so rapidly, that determined to offer them to the public and devote my undivided attention tu | lung diseases. In truth, was next to furce. to it, fer 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, I have been maiiiug regular professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore. and PittsbGrg. For several years past, 1 have made as ma nv as five hundred exam nations, weekly with tie kespirometer For such examination my charge is thr e dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dls- ease. and tell hiE frankly whether he will get | we'll.
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try odo too much i; | 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 she secrelions, and evsntu- ally the patient dies,
 inc pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val | uable medicines known. It is nutrient, pow erfuliy tonic and healing in itself. It con tans no opium, yet loosenS the phlegm in the l bronchial tubes, and nature throws it off i with little exerton one bottle frequently l cures an ordinary colo but it will be well first to take dose of Schcnck's Mandrake Pills to clea,ise the stomach inc Puimonic 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 8 powerful tonic of itself and
 when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucous | in the stomach and is carried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, q healthy flow of gastric juics, good appetite, and good digestion fol- low.
 The Seawevd Tonic is q stimulant, and none other is required 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 ail the sec,e- liens. 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 rooiDs, both male and fe- male, are sturiied with this poison The re- lief is temporary. If they cough. they take a little whisky :; if they feel weak and feeble, they take a 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 flesLy. The stomach. liver, and digestive 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 consumptives, such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases. London porter or brown stout in modc- rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens en, instead ef snring soasnnDtaen,
