THE HISTORY OF DIR. SoHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION. .... !
Many year, ago, while residing in Philadel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of !
my recovery being dis ipated, was advised by
my physician, DR., Parrish, TO remove into the
country, MoOrestown, New Jersey, 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 arri-
val l was put to bed, whore lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition.
DR.. Thornton who had been my fathers family
ph, stefan, and had ATTENDED him in his last ILL
ness, was called 10 see me. He thou. hit my case
entirely beyohd reach Of medicine, and de-
cided that must die, and gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless coRiition, l heard OF the remedies
which nos make and sell. 1t seemed 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 mltter which for years had accumu-
lated and irrtat the d fferent organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tuberces my lungs
on my lung rpened, and 1 eXpec GRATED from
my lungs as much as pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. AS this expectoration If
matter subsited, the fever abated, the pan left
me, the cough ceased TO harIass me, and the ex-
hausting nj. hit swests we're no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been a Stranger. My app tite now began to re-
turn, and at times found it difficult 10 restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
Of health gained in strength, and now am
feshy. 1 am now healthy man, with 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 tnat time was thought to be
an incurable disease by every one, physicians as
! well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were redu ed to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
! lieve my recovery only temporary. i now pre-
| pared and gave the medicines to consumpuVes
| for some time and made many wonderful cures;
and the demand increased so rapidly that / de-
| termined TO offer them to the Jublic, and devote
| my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, next to forced to it for people would
send for me far near, to ascertain whether
| their cases we're like mine.
| For many years, in Injunction with my prin-
! c;nal office in phiIadeiphia, I have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
| Baltimore and Pittsburg- -------......
several years past / have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
| "Respir ometer.n For such examination nv
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
| aud tell him frankly whether he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
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 up
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonio Syrup is one of u e most valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in ITSELF It contains no
opium, yet looseus the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes and nature throws it off with little exet-
ton; one bottle frequently cu!es an ordinary
cold but it will be well first 10 take dose Of
Seheneks Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and sb-
sorbed into blood, which it imparts its hea ine
properties. 1t is one of the best prepaI atoms Of
iron in use; il is powerful tonic OF itself; and
when the Seaweed Tonic Dissolve the mueus in
the stomach, and is carried of by the aid Of the
Mandrake ri 49, a healthy dow OF & strc juice
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is s. s.imu ant, and none
other Is required when it is used 1t is pure and
. easant no bad etfec like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomaC b, torpo =
the liver, locks up all the secretioRs, turns tn,
blood into water, drepsy sets in, and the patIen
| dies suddenly.
| Buurbou whisky 10 recommended IL W. -aay
by almost every phys:clan. Many patients tina
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi
fed wi h this poison. The relief is temper .ry
If they cough, they take a little whisky; if the,
feel weak and feeble, hey take little whisky
if they cannot sleep, they take it lie " hisky
and they go on in this way requiring more AM
more until they are bloa ed up, al d imsgin
they are getting heshy. The stomach, liver, an
diges i've powers are completely destroyed, an
lose their appetite for food. No one was eve
cured of consumption by this process, wher
caysties have been foI med in the lungs. A ittl
. stimulant is frequently beneficial 10 comsumJ

many cases London porter or brown stout
Z moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has
