The History of DIR. .Schenck's oun Case, eE
ho,o he tcdS cured of ConSunption.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadcl.

weeks in what was deemed a hopeless cOndi-
ton. DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
last illness, was called to see me. He thought
my case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
and decided that l must die, and gave me one
week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this
apparently hopeless condition, heard of the
remedies which now make and sell. 1t SEEM

consumption at that time was thought to be
an incnrable disease, by every one, physicians
as well as those who We're unlearned in medi-
thinemesR,eeiially such cases as were reduced to
people to believe my recovery only temporary
now prepared and gave the medicines to con-
sumptircS forsOne time, and made many won
derful cures; and the demand increased so 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 1t,
for people would send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal office in Philadelphia, have been making
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past have made as many
rs ive hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respirometcr." For such examination my
charge is three dollars and it enables me to
give each patient the true condition OF his dis.
ease, 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 medicine to stop the cough, to
stop the night sweats, hectic fever, and by SO
doing they derange the whole digestive system,
locking up the secretions, and eventually the
patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, power
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it or with little exer-
cold; but it will be well first to take dose OF
Schencis's Mandrake's pills to cleanse the sto.
and absorbed into blood to which it imparts It's
healing properties. 1t is one of the best prepa-
rations ofiron in use; 1t is powerful tonic Of
itself; and when the Seawecd 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 a good diges-
tion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimuant, and none
other is required when 1t is used. 1t Is pure &
pleasant no bad effects like when using Bour-
bon whisky, which disorders the stomach. tor

Il Bourbon whisky is recommended now a day s
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms both male and female are stu

and they go on in this way, requiring more and
they are getting ieshy. 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
tie stimulant is frequently beneficial to con-
sumptves, such as pure brandy good wine:
i'll many cases London porter or brown stout In
moderate quantities.; but Bourbon whisky mas

The Mandrake Pills may be taken with entire

the good results that can be obtained from call
