Manv years ago. whilst residing in Philadcl-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dissipatcd, | was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country. MoorStown, New Jersey, being my nH-
tive place, l was removed thithtr MY father
and all his family had lived ana died thcre-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. ON my arri-
weeks in What was deemed IL honelcss condi-
ton. DIR. Thornton, who bad been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
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 onditon, heard OF the
remedies which now make and sell; 1t seem
ed to me tat ! 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 many years had
accumulated and irritated the different organs
Of the body, was eliminated, the tuhercles on
my lungs ripened, and eNpGctoratcd from my
lungs as muclas pint fyrliow offensive mat
ter every morning As this cxpectorntion Of
me, the cough ceased to llaiass me, and the eX-
hnuSting night-Sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been II stranger. Ny appetite now began to re-
turn, and at times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much; with this return
olhcalth. gained in strength, and now am
iieshy; am now healthy man, with large
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with COM
plete adhesion of the pleura.., The left lung is
tOlerably healthy condition.
/ Consumption NJ that time was thought to be
an incurable disease, by every one physicians
cine-especially 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 con
sumptivcs forSomc time, and made many Won
dcrful cures; and the demand increased so rap
idly that determined to offer them to the pub
lie, and devote my undivided attention to lung
dseasrs In truth, was M next @ to to forced to IT,
ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
Torseveral years past have made as many
as five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respirometer.' For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to
ease and tell him frankly whe ther he viii get
WELL The great reason why physicians do not
much: they give medicine to stop the cough, To
stop the night sweatS, hectic fever, and by SO
doing they derangc the whole digestive system,
locking up the secretions, and eventually the
patient dies.
The Puimonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
+ able medicines known. 1t is nutrient power
fully tonic, and healing in itself 1t contains no
opium, yet loosenS the phiegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it of with little exer-
tion. one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but II will be wel first to take n dose of
/. Schenck's Mandraies Pills to cleanse the sto.
mach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested
and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts its
healing properties. 1t is one ofthe best prepa-
itself and when the seaweed Tonic dissoives
the mncus in the stomach, and is carried Off by
the aid OF the Mandrake Pills, n healthy flow OF
gastric Juice, good appetite and good diges'
ton follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is q stimulant, and none
other is required when 1t is used. II is pure 8
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bour'
bon whisky, which disorders the stomach tor
pors the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns
the blood into water dropsy sets in, and the pa
tient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now q day!
by almost every physician Many patients thp
, pihed with this poison. The reliefis temporary
IF they cough they take little whisky; If they
feel weak and feeble they take a little whisky
: they cannot sleep. they take little whisky
!: more until they are bloated up, and imagin,
they are getting ficshy, The stomach, liver ant
digestive powers are completely destroyed, nnt
lose their appetite for food. No one was eve
cured of consumption by this process, whcr
cavities have been formed in the lungs A lit
tie stimuant is frequently beneficial to con
Sumptives, such as pure brandy or good wine
iu many cases London porter or brown stout IN
e moderate quantities; hut Bourbon whisky has
+ tens on instead ofcuring consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di
gestive system, and enabling II to eliminate 4
make into healthy blood the food which ma!
he used for that purpose. II Is so wonderful II
!. its effects that n wine glass full will digest
hearty meal and n little of IL taken before eat
ing will give n tone to the stomach which few
medicines possess the power OF doing.
The Mandrake Pills may he taken with entir
safety by all ages and conditions, producing al
the good results that can he obtained from cal
omel. or any of the mercurial medicines, an'
without any of their hurtful or Injurious re
suits. They carry ont of the system the fecu len
and worn-out matters loosened ana dlssolve'
by my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. i
I will he seen that all three of my medicines ar,
needed in most cases to cure Consumption:
