The History CT Or. sehenck's own Case. and how
he was cured of Consumption.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull
monary consumption All hopes Of my recovery be-
ing dissipated, I was advised by my physician, DR..
Parrish. to remove into the country. Noorestown, NJ.
j., being my native place, ] was removed thither. My
father and all his family had lived and died there
and died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arrival
1 was put to bed, where 1 lay for many weeks in what
was deemed a hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, who
had been my fathers family physician, and had4at.
tended MN IN nj last illness, was called TO see me-
He thought my case entirely beyond the reach Of med
icine, and decided that I must die, and gave me one
week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this appar-
anty hopeless condition, !! heard OF the remedies now
make aud self It seemed to me thatJ could feel them
working thir way, aud penetrating every nerve, fibre,
and tissue OF my system.
NJ lungs and liver put ON Il new action. and the NOR
bid matter which fur years had accumulated ard irri
lated the different organs Of tte body, was eliminated,
the tubercles on my lungs rlpcned, and l eXpeCiOrated
from my lungs as much as a pint Of yellow offensive
matter every morning. IS this expectoration Of mat
ter subsidized, the fever abated the pain left me, the
cough ceased to harass me, and the exhaustIng night
sweats were no longer known, and had refreshing
sleep, to which / had long been a stranger. Ny appc-
tile now began to return, and at times l found it diff
cult to RESTRAIN mysei IRON eating too much; with this
return Of health, l gained IL. strength, and now am
heshy. / am now a healthy man, with a large healed
clcatrlx IN thr mlunle looe Of the rlght lung and tue
lower lobe he pauzed with complete adhesion Of the
PleuIa a The Lett lung is sound. and the upper lobe Of
the right one IS III a toleraoly healthy condition.
Consumption at that time YVES thought au incurable
disease, by every one, physicians as well as those who
were uniearned IN medlcine-especialy such cases as
were reduced to the condition I was in. This induced
many people to believe my recovery only temporary.
! now prepared ana gave the medicines TO cOnsump-
tives for some time, and made maRy wonderful cures;
ana the DEMAND Increased so rapidly that l determin-
ed to offer them to the public, and devote my undivid-
ed attention 10 lung diseases. In truth, I was next 10
forced to It, Tor 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 making regular pro-
iessional visits To New York, Boston, Baltimore and
P%ittsburg.
For several years past I have made as many as five
hundred examinations weekly with the SsRespirome-
ter" For such examination my charge is three dol
lars, and II enables me to give each patient the true
condition OF his disease, aud tell him frankly whether
he will get we'll.
The great reason why physicians DO not cure Con-
sumption IS, that they try to do too much; they give
medicines 10 stop the cough, to stop the night-sweats,
hectic fever, and by so doing they derange the whole
digestive system locking up the seCretions, and eV ent.
ually the patient dies
