 THE HISTORY OF DR. SCHENCK'S OWN | CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION.
 Many yearsago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia, had progressed gradually into the fast stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of my. recovery being iissipated, was advis- ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove l in:o the country. Moorestown. New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, ] was removed thither. My father and all his fami- ly had lived and died there-and died of Pull monary Consumption. On my arrival 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, l heard of the remedies which I now make and sell. It see1u- ed to me that could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and | tissue of my system.
 My lungs and liver put on 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 a pint Of yellow offens- 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, te which had long been stranger. My appe- tite now began to return, and at times fo md tn in fron m much ; with this return of health, gained in strength. and now am feshy. 1 am now a 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 is sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is Tn d tolerably healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought te l be an incurable disease by every one, physi clans as well 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 now prepared and gave the medicines to eonsumptives 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 | lung diseases. In truth, l was next to forced to it, for people would send for me far and

 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia, I have been making regular professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsburg. 1 For several years past: have made as ma nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with the Respirometer" For such examination my charge is three dollars, and it enables me I to give each patient the condition of his dis ease and tell him frankly whether he will ge, we'll. a E # A B ss
 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 1 to stop the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing, they derange the whole digestiv. system, locking up the secretions, and evsntu ally the patient dies.
 The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val uable medicines known. It is nutrient, pow crfully tonic and healing in itself. It con tains no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in thu bronchial tubes, and nature throws it of with little exertion one bottle frequentl. cures an ordinary colo but it will be wei first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmoni Syrup is readily digested and absorbed int blood to which it imparts its healing proper ties It is one of the best preparations of iro in use :; it is powerful tonic of itself; an when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucu in the stomach, and is carried off by the aid C the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastri juice, good appetite, and good digestion fo low.
 The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and non other is required when it is used. It is pun and pleasant no bad effects like when usin Bourbon whisky, which disorders the ston ach, torpors the liver, locks up all the secre tions, turns the blood into water, dropsy se in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended now: days by almost every physician. Many p tients that visit my rooms, both male and ft male, are sturifed with this poison. The r lief is temporary. If they cough, they take they take little whisky; if they cannot slee they takea little whisky; and they go on this way requiring more and more until tht are bloated up, and imagine they are gettir feshy The stomach, liver, and digestive DO, CTS are completely destroyed, and lose the appetite for food, No one was ever cured t consumption by this process, where caviti have been formed in the lungs. A little stim , lant is frequently beneficial to consumptive such as pure brandy or good wines, in mar cases, London porter or brown stout in mod rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastel a on, instead of curing consumption.
 The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting result thoroughly invigorating the stomach and d gestive system. and enabling it to elimina and make into healthy blood the food whie may be used for that purpose. It is so wo derful in it's effects that wine-glass full wi digest a hearty meal, and a little of it take before breakfast, will give tone to the ston ach, which few medicines possess the power doing. ~ .s.
 The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken wit tentire safety by all ages land conditions. pr ducing all the good results that can be obtail ed from calomel, or any of the mercurial me' icines, and without any of their hurtful or il furious results They carry out of the syste1 the feculent and worn-out matters loosene and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pu monic Syrup. It will be seen that all three
