THE HISTORY OF DR. ScHENCK's OWN CASE.
AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF CONSTRUCTION.
{ Many years ago, whilst residing in sPhiiidel-
phia, l had progressed gradually into the last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All homes
of my recovery being dissipated, / was advised
by my physician, DIR. Parrish, to remove into
the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being
my native place. | was removed theither. Ny
father and all his family had lived and died
| there--and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my arrival 1 was put to bed, where I lay
for many weeks In what was deemed a hopeless
condition. DIR. Thornton, who had been nv
fathers family physician, and had attended him
| in his last illness, was called to see me- He
! thought my case entirely beyond the reacis- of
medicine, and decided thatsI must die and
gave me one week to arrange my temporal
sffairs. In this appearantly hopeless condition,
| l heard of the remedies which / now make and
sell. It seemed TO me that r could feel them
working their way, and penetrating every nerve,
fibre, and tissue Of my system. .sgTfIi -
My lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accum-
ulated and irritated the different organs OF the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles Of my lungs
ripened, and expectorated from my lungs as
much as a, pint of yellow offensive matter every
morning. As this expectOration of matter sub
sided, the fever abated, the pain left me. the
cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhausting
night-sweets were no longer known, and had
refreshing sleep, to which I had long been q
stranger. My appetite now began to return,
and at times found it difficult to restrain my
self from eating too much; with this return of
health, / gained in strength, and now am ieshy
| / am now healthy man, with a large healed
cicatrix in the middle lobe Of the light lung and
the lower lobe hepatized with complete adhe-
4 sion of the pleura. The left lung is sound, and
the upper lobe Of the right one is in stolerably
healthy condition. t..L
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurable disease, by every one physicians
as well as those who were unlearned in medi-
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 medicine to con-
sumptives for some time and made many won
derfnl cures; and the demands increased 80 rap
idly that determined to offer them to the pub
lie and devote my undivided attention to lung
diseases. In truth / was next to forced to it,
for people wound send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my
principal office in Philadelphia, j. have been
making regular professional visits to New York,
Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburg.
For several 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 give
each patient the true condition of his disease
and 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, lock
ing up the secretions, and eventually the patient
dies. 1as a5sr.H
The Pulmenic Syrup is one of the most val
liable medicines known. 1t is nutrient, power
fully tonic, and healing in itself. II contains
no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronch-
ial tubes and nature throws it off with little ex-
ertion. One bottle frequently cures an ordin-
ary cold; but it will be well first to take dose
of Schencks Mandrakes Pills to cleanse the
stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily di-
gested and absorbed into blood to which it i'm
I parts It's healing properties. It is one of the
best preparations of iron in use; it is powerful
tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic
dissolves the mucus in the stomach, and is car
ried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, 8
healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite and
a good digestion follow.
io a ofsp
other is required when it is used. 1t is pure
and pleasant; no bad effects like when using
Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stomach,
torpers the liver, locks up all the secretiOns,
turns the blood into water, dropsy sets IN, and
the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whiskey is recommended nova
days by almost every physician. Many patients
that visit my rooms, both male and female, are
stupeied with this poison. The relief is tenn
porary. If they cough they take little vhis-
ky; if they feel weak and feeble they take a
little whisky; if they cannot sleep they take a
little whisky; and they go on in this way, re-
quiring more and more until they are bloated
up, and imagine they are getting feshy. The
stomach, liver, and digestive powers are COM
pletely destroyed, and lose their appetite for
food. No one was ever cured of consumption
by this process, where cavities have been FORM
ed in the lungs A little stimulant is frequent
ly beneficial to cOnsumptives, such as pure
brandy or good wines; in many cases London
porter or brown stout in moderate Qualities; but
Bourbon whiskey 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 bt
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful IN
its effects that a wineglasS.full win digest
hearty meal, and ! little . it taken before
breakfast will give tone to the stomach which
few medicines possess the power of doing.
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken
with entire safety by all ages and conditions
/ producing all the good results that can be OBJ
tanned from calomel, or any of the mercurial
medicines, and without any of their hurtful or
injurious results. They carry out OF the sys-
TEN the feculent and wOrn-Out matters lOOsened
and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull
monic Svrup. 1t will be seen that all three of
INV medicines are needed in most cases To cure
Consumption.
