The History OF Dr.. SCHENCK's OWN CASE
AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, whilst residing in Philidel-
phia, l had progressed gradually into the last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dissipated, Twas advised
by my physician, DR.. 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 l was put to bed, where l lay
for many weeks in what was deemed a hopeless
condition Dr. Thornton, who had been my
father family physician, and had attended him
in his last illness, was called to see me. He
thought my case entirely beyond the reach ot
medicine and decided that | must die and
gave me one week to arrange my temporal
affairs. In this appearantly hopeless condition
l heard of the remedies which l now 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 accum-
ulated and irritated the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles of my lungs
ripened, and expectorated from my lungs al
much as 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 | had long been a
stranger. My appetite now began to return
and at times found it difficult to restrain nv
self from eating too much; with this return OF
health, gained in strength, and now am tieshy.
l am now healthy man, with large healed
cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and
the lower lobe hepatized with complete adhe-
sion of the pleura. The left lung is sound, and
the upper lobe of the right one is in a tolerably
healthy condition.
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
derf1l cures; and the demands increased SO rap
idly that / determined to offer them to the pub
lie, and devote my undivided attention to lung
diseases. In truth l 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 Philadel phia, l 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 deraDge the whole digestive system, lock-
ing up the secretions, and eventually the patient
dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val
fully tonic, and healing in ITSELF 1t 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 viii be well first to take a dose
of Schenck's Mandrake's Pills to cleanse the
stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily d.
gested and absorbed into blood, to which it i'm
parts its healing properties. 1t 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,
healthy flow OF gastric juice, good appetite and
good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none
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 now-a-
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 a little whis-
ky; if they feel weak and feeble they take a
little whisky; if they cannot sleep they take
little whisky; and they go in this way, re-
uuiring 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
lood. No one was ever cured of consumption |
by this process, where cavities have been form !
I'd in the lungs. A little stimulant is frequent /
" beneficial to cOnsumptiyes 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
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigOrating the stomach and di-
,estive system, and enabling it to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
lsed for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in
is effects that wineglass full will digest a
hearty meal, and little of it taken before
breakfast will give a tone to the stomach which
ew 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
aimed from calomel, or any of the mercurial
and without any of their hurtful or
INJURIOUS results. They carry out of the sys-
em the feculent and worn-out matters loOsened
nd dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull
nonic Syrup. twill be seen that all three of
ny medicines are needed in most cases to cure
