 THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENCK's OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia. had progressed gradually into the fast stage If Pulmonary Consum ption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was advis ed by my physician. Dr. Parrish, to rerhove in:o the country. Moortstown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, I Was removed tLithcr. My father and all his fami ly had lived and died there-and died of Pull munary Consumption. On my arrival l was put to bed, where I lay for many weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers family physician, and had attended him i'll his last illness, was called to See me. He thought my casc entirely beyond the reach of medicine, and decided that must die, and gave me one week to arrange my temporal atfaiIs. In this appal ently hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies which now make and Sell. It seeln- ed to me that could feel them working their way, and nelrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my system.
 My lungs and liver put on a new action, and the morbid matter which for years had accumulated and irrtated the different organs of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and I expecturated from my lungs as much as a pint oi yellow oifens- i've matter every morning. As this expecto- ration of matter subsided, tne fever aoated, 4he pain left lue, the cough ceased to harrass me and the eXhausting ngh:sweats were no longer known. and had refreshing sleep, ts which hai long been a stranger. My appe- ite now began to return, and at times fo and it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return ot health, gained i'll strength. and now am feshy. l am now healthy man, with a large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of tine right lung and the low er lobe hepatized with complete adhesion ot the pleura. he left lung is sound. and the upper lobe of the right one is in d tolerably lealtny conultion
 Consumption at that time was thought to be all incurable disease by every one, physi clans as well as those who were unlearhed Ill medicine-esp, cially such cases as were reduced to the condition l was in. Inls induced nahy people to believe my recovery only temporary i.now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives-tor some time. and m tde na my wonderful cures and the demand increased So rapidly, that determined to offer them to the
 ,t r. Itll a D lung diseases. In truth, was next to forced 10 it. for people would send for me far and near to ascertain wht ther their cases were like mine.
 For many years, in conjuAction with my principal office in Philadelphia, l have been makiug regular professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore, aud Pittsburg.
 For several years past, have made as ma nv as five hundred examinations, weekly with he ..Respiro,neter" For such examination my charge is thr e dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dIs- case, and tell him frankly whether he VIII get we'll.
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try to do too Mucn they give medicines to try to stop the coush' 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 Puimonic Syrup is one of the most val uabe medicines known. It is nutrient. pow i erfully tonic and healing in itself It con l tains no opium, yet loosen, the phiegm in the bronchial tubes, and nature throws it ot with little exertion one bottle frequently | cures an ordinary colo but it will be wei ! first to take a dose of Scheuck's Mandrake T Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Puimonit Syrup is readily digested and absorbed intt

 The seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and non. other is required when it is used It is pur

 Bourbon whi ky, which disorders the stom . ach, torpors the liver, locks up all the secre tions, 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 rooms both male and fe ' male, are sturiiied with this poison. The re llief. 3s temporary. If they cough. they take little whisky; if they feel weak and feeble they take little whisky; if they cannot sleep li they takea little whisky; and they go on il
 this way requiring more and more until the.
