THE HISTORY OF DIR. scHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phia, had ressed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of
my recovery being dis ipated, l was advised by
my physician, Dr. Parrish, 10 remove into the
country, Moorestown, New jersey being my
native place, was removed shther. My father
and all his family had lived aud died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val l was put TO bed, whore lay for many
weeks in what vas deemed hopeless condition,
DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
phi, siclan, and had ATTENDED him in his last ILL
ness was called 10 see me, He thous hit ny case
entirely beyond reach of medicine, and de-
cided that must die, and gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless conciton, l heard OF the remedies
which make ard sell, 1t seemed to me
thai I could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my
system.
Ny lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid mater which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat the tferent organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tuberces on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and 1 eXpecsorated from
/ my lungs as much as a pint Of yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration Of
matter subsijei, the fever abated, the pain left
/ me, the cough ceased to narsass me, and the ex-
! hausting nj hi sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
beena Stranger. Ny apps tite now began to re-
turn, and at tim I-found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
| of health gained in strength, and now am
feshy. am now a healthy man, with a large
| healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion of the pleura. The lef. lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in tole-
rably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurable disease BE- every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases as Tedu ed to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
! heve my recovery only temporary. / now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptives
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that / de-
( termined to offer them to the Iublc, and devote
my undivided attention TO lung diseases In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far q near, to ascertain whether
their cases were like mine

cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits TO New York, Boston

The great reason why physicians do not curt
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, locking III
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most yalu.
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains nj
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchia
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer.
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first 10 take dose O.

properties. 1t is one Of the best prepaI atoms O
