THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCuENCKs OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phis, had progressed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of
my recovery being dissipated, l was advised by
my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. My father
and al his family had rived 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 condition, |
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family |
ply siclan, and had attended him in his last i'll |
ness, was called to see me. He thought my case |
! entirely beyond tie reach of medicine, and de- |
| oided that must die, and gave me one week to |
arrange my temporal affairs In this apparently |
hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies
which l now make and sell 1t seemed to me
thai could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue Of my
system.
Ny lungs and liver put on q new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had aooumu-
lated and irritattd the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles my lungs
my lungs as much as pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this eXpectoration Of
matter subsded, the fever abated, the pain left
me- the cough ceased to harrass 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 tim found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much ; with this return
of health l gained in strength, and now am
feshy. am nov healthy man, with large
healed cicstrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatiEed with complete
adhesion of the pleurs. The lefs lung is sound,
and the upper lobe OF the right one is in a tole-
rably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurabe disease By every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases were redu ed to the con-
dition 1 was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve nay recovery only temporary. L now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptiyes
for some time, and made many wonderful cures /;
and the demand increased so rapidly that l de-
termined TO offer them to the Iublic, 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
their cases were like mine.
AAauJ year, III nJuuCkluu WIN my pi In
ciPal Office in Philadelphia, 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.n For such examination my
charge il three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
and tell him frankly whether he will get we'll.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consum otion 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, locking up
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonie Syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains no
opium, yet loosers the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently GU es an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first TO take dose Of
Schenckis Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The PulmoIic Syrup is readily digested and alb
sorbed into blood, 10 which it imparts its healing
pIopert es 1t is one of the be prepaI atoms OF
iron in use; it is powerful tonic of itself; and

Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-days
by almost every phys clan. Many patients that
