Tie History Of Dr.. Scheach's own Case, G
hO,c he mdS cured Of CoaSun'ption.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Phladel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stages of Pulmonary Consumption, All hopes
of my recovery being diSsjpated, | was advised
by my ply %sician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the
tive place, was removed thither. My father
and all his family had lived and died there-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val was put to bed, where / lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condi-
family physician, and had attended him in his
last illness, was called to see me. He though.
my case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
and decided that must die, and gave ne one
week to arrange my temporal affairs In this
apparently hopeless condition, | heard of the
remedies which now make and SELL 1t SEEM
ed 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 many years had
of the body was eliminated, the tubercless or,
my lungs ripcned, and eXpectorated from my
lungs ns much as pint of yellow offensive mat
matter subsidized, the fever abatcd, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harass me- and the ex-
hauSting nght-sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been n stranger. My appetite now began to re-
myself from eating too much; with this return
| of health, gained in strength, and now
| heshy. am now II healthy man, with large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
| lung and the lower lobe hepatiZed with COM
plcte adhesion of the plcura. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is In
Iatolerably II healthy condition.
Consumption Ht that time thought to be
as well os those WHO were uniearnedd in medi-
cine-eSpecially such eases as were reduced to
the condition j was in. This induced many
people to belicva my recovery only temporary
now prepared and gave the medicines to con-
dcrtul cures; and the demand increased so rap
| idly that determined To offer them to the pub
| lie and devote my undivided attention to hno
/ diseases: In truth, was next to forced to 1t,
| for people would send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
Al ali
cipal office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
| Baltimore and Pittsburg.
| ForseVcral years past have made as many
as hNe hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respirometer" For such examination my
give each patient the true condition of his dis
ease, and tell him frankly whether he will get
cure Consumption is, that they try to do too
much; they give medicine to stop the cough, to
stop the night sweats, hectic fever, and by so
doing they dcrangc the whole digestive system
locking up the secretions, and eventually the
patient dies.
| The Pulmonic syrup is one of the most vaIu-
able medicines known. 1t Is nutrient, power
fully tonic, and healing in itself. 1t contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it of with little exer-
tion. one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but II will be well first to take dose Of
Schenck Mandrake's Pills to cleanse the sto-
mach: The Pumouic Syrup is readily digested
and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts its
henling properties. 1t is one of the best prepa-
rations ofirun in use; il is n powerful tonic of
itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves
! the mucus in the stomach, and is carried Off by
| the aid OF the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow OF
gastric Juice, good appetite, and good diges-
! tiOn follow.
| The Seaweed Tonic is q stimulant, and mono
other is required when il is used. 1t is pure &
| 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 days
| by almost every physician Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stu
piied with this poison. The reliefiS temporary
If they cough they take little whisky; If they
| feel weak and feeble they take little whisky;
| If they cannot sleep, they take 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 powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
cured of consumption by this process, where
cavities have been formed in the lungs. A lit
tie stimulant is frequently beneficial to con-
SunptlVcS, such aS pure brandy or good wine;
! III many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities. but Bourbon whisky has
tens ON instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
| thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-
gestiVe system, and enabling II to eliminate Il
make into healthy blood the food which may
ne s used ior that purpose. 1t Is so wonderful in
hearty meal, and little of IL taken before eat
ing will give tone to the stomach which few
medicines possess the power ofdoing.
The Mandrake Pills may be taken with entire
safety by all ages and conditions, producing all
the good results that can he obtained from call
omel, or any of the mercurial medicines, and
without any of their hurtful or injurious re-
and worn -out matters loosened and dissolved
hy nv Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. 1t
will be seen that all three Of my medicines arc
needed in most cases to cure Consumptionl
