 THE HISTORY OF DR. sCHENCK's OWN CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF | CONSUMPTION.
 l Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia, had progressed gradually into the fast stage of Pulmonary Consum ption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was advis ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish to remove into the country. Moorcstown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, l was removed tLither. My father and all his faml- | ly had lived and died thereand died of Pull monary Consumption. On my arrival 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 ill 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, I heard of the remedies which now make and sell. It seeln- ed to me that could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, hbre, and tissue of my system
 My lungs and liver put on w new actiol, and the morbid matter which for years had accumulated and irrtated the different organs of the body, was eliminated, the tnbercles on my lungs ripened, and I expectorated from my lungs as much as a pint oi yellow oftens- i've matter every morning. As this eXpecto- ration of matter subsded the fever abated, the pain left me, the cough oeased to harrass me, and the eXhausting night-sweats were no l longer known. and had refreshing sleep, te which ha'i long been q stranger My appe- l ,ite now began to return, and at times fo md it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength. and now am feshy. l now healthy man, with a large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion of the peura. The left lung is so"nd, and the upper lobe of the right one is in tolerably l healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought to be an incurablc 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 l now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives for some time, and made many wonderful cures and the demand increased So rapidly, that I determined to offer them to the public, and devote my undivided attention to | lung diseases. In truth, 1 was next to forced I to it, for people would send for far and near, to ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia, have been making regular 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 Resprometer.' For such examination my charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dis case, and tell 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 i; 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 mp ihc secretions, and eventu- ally the patient dies.
 The Pulmpnic Syrup is one of the most val uable medicines known. It is nutrient, pow erfully tonic and healing in itself. It con tains no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and nature throws it off with little exertion one bottle frequently cures all ordinary cole {; but it will be we'll first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digestcd 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 Seawced Tonic dissolves the mucus in the stomach and is carried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, a healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and good digestion fol low.
 The Seaweed Tonic is a stmulant, 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 score 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 sturitied with this poison. The re
 lief is temporary. If they cough, they take q little whisky; 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 feshy. The stomach, liver, and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed, and lose theil consumption by this process where cavities have been formed in the lungs. little stimu lant is frequently beneficial to consumptives such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases, London sporter 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- gestive system, and enabling it to eliminate and make into healthy blood the food which may be used for that purpose. It is so won derful in its effects that wine-glass full will digest hearty meal, and 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 'and 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- ijurious results. They carry out of the system the feculent and worn-out matters loosened 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 I Consumption.
