THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENOk'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION. ....
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last |
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. An hopes of |
my recovery being dissipated, l was advised by |
my physician, DIR. 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 aTri-
val l was put to bed, where l lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition.
| DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply sician, and had attended him in his last ill
ness, was called to see me. He thought my case
entirely beyond tie reach of medicine, and de-
cded that must die, and gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies
which nov 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 matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritattd the different organs Of the
body, was eliminated, the tuber5es on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and l expectorated from
my lungs as much as q pint of yellow offensive
matter every morning. AS this eXpeotoration Of
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me- the cough ceased to haryass me, and the ex-
hausting night sweats we're no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn, and at times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health gained in strength, and now am
feshy. am now a healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatiEed with complete
adhesion Of the pleura. The Left lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in tOle-
-ably healthy condition.
Consumption at that 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 reduced to the con-
dition 1 was in hisinduced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. 1 now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptive:
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased SO rapidly that de-
! termned 10 offer them to the public, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far ard near, to ascertain whether

For many years, in conjunction with my prin'
| cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and Pitsburg. .... ..'E.
For several years past / have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with tht
"Respir ometer," For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to givt
each patient the true condition of his disease
and tell him frankly whether he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cur'
Consumption is, that they try to do too much
they give medicines to stop the cough to stop tn
night-sweats, hectic fever, and by 80 doing the,
derange the whole digestive system, locking VI
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains n,
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchia
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer

,, The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and alb
sorbed into blood, to which it imparts its healing
. properties 1t is one of the best preparations o
iron in use; it is powerful tonic OF itself ani

The Seaweed Tonic is u stimulant, and nom

pleasant no bad effects like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns tn
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patien
( | dies suddenly. ....
Bourbon whisky is recommended II w- a-day
/ by almost every physician. Many patients tina
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stup
fed with this poison. The relief is temporary
> Ifthey cough, they take little whisky; if the.

lose their appetite for food. No one was eve
cured Of consumption by this process, wher
eavsaes have been formed in the lungs. A littl
stimulant is frequently beneficial TO comsump

The seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly inyigorating the stomach and diges
tive system, and enabling it to eliminate an
make into healthy blood the food which may
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in ii
effects that a wine glass full will digest heart
meal, and little of it taken before breakfas
will give a tome to the stomach which few medi

The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken wit

and without any Of their hurtluI or injurious re

will be seen that all three OF my medicines ar
needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
