 THE HISTORY OF DR. scHENCK's OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia, 1 had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pulmonary Consum ption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, I was advis- ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove in.o the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, 1 was removed thither. My father and all his fani- lv had lived and died there-and died of Pull monary Consumption: On my arrival was what was deemed a 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, heard of the remedies which Inow make and sell. It seehl- ed to me that could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue Of fEmy system. i7<.
 My lungs and liver put on a new action. 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 subsided, 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, .to which had long been stranger. My appe- tite now began to return, and at times found it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength, and now am heshY. l am now g healthy man, with large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion of the pleura. The left lung iso socnd. and the upper lobe of the right one is in tolerably healthy condition. .-~.,.;, s,.,-; s,.., Consumption at that time was thought to be an incurable disease by every one, physi- clans as we'll as those who were unlearned in medicine -espe cially 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 time, and made many wonderful cures :; and the demand increased so rapidly, that determined to offer them to the public, and devote my undivided attention to 1,.,n<. a;eoooac Tn T rvao v,owfsfr fnrccd to it, for people would send for me far and near, to ascertain whether their cases were like mine. sesssg, 4sa,.s5 s.ss
 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphi have been making reguIar professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburg.
 For several years past, have made as ma ny as five hundred examinations, weekly with the Respirometer.' For such examination my charge is three dollars, and 1t enables me to give each patient the condition of his dis ease, andtell him frankly whether he will get we'll. The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try to do too much !; 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 the secretions, and eventu- ally the patient dies.
 The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val uable medicines known. It is nutrient, pow erfullv tonic and healing in itself. It con- tairs no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and nature throws 1t of with little exertion; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary cold; but it will be we'll first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts it's healing proper ties. It is one of the best preparations of iron in use ; it is a powerful tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic ldissoives the mucus in the stomach, and is carried of by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, a healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol- low. -..q--. :n
 The seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none 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 sets 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 sturifed with this poison. The re- lief is temporary If they cough, they take a little whisky j 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 heshy. The stomach, liver, and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed, and lose their appetite; for fo0dl 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 mode rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens on, instead of curing consumption.
 The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results, thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-. eestiye system, and enabling it to eliminate and make into healthy blood the food which may be sisedffor that purpose. 1t is SO won derfui in its effects that wine-glass full will digest a hearty meal, and a 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- ihfious results They carry ont of the system ! the fecnIert and worn out matters 1oosened 1: and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull | monic Syrup. It will be seen that all three of | my medicines are needed in most cases to cure l
