THE HISTORY OF DIR. soHENCR,s OWN

OF CONSUMPTION

THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENCR'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
many years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phia, 1 had Progressed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All homes of
my recovery being dis,ipated, was advised by
my physician, DR.. Parrish, 10 remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being nv
native place, was removed thither. NY 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 condition.
DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
phi! stefan, and had ATTENDED him in his last III.
mess, WAS called TO see me. He thout hit my case
entirely beyond reach of medicine, and de-
oided that 1 must die, and gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs In this apparently
hopeless condition, / heard of the remedies
which nov make ard sell II 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 a new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu.
lated and irrtattd the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubereles on my lungs
on my lung npened, and expectorated from
my lungs as much as pint of yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoratiOn Of
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex-
hausting night sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which 1 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
al oair al IN,
aeshy. am now healthy man, with a large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion of the pleura. The left lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in tole-
rably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurable disease by every one, physicians as
well as those who were anlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were redu ed to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to eonsumptyes
for some time, and made many wonderful cures !;
and the demand increased so rapidly that / de-
termined 10 offer them TO the ublie 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
lner cases were ike mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been maxim o
regular PROFESSIONAL visits 10 v.-i Rosto,
Baltimore and Pittsburg. e"
For several years past 1 have made as many
as FIVE hundred examinations, weekly, with the
'Respirometern For such examination nv
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 we'll.
Inc 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
Il! snt-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, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws il off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first to take dose of
Schenck' Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and alb.
sorbed into blood to which it imparts its healing
properties 1t is one of the best prepaI atoms of
iron in use; it is 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 ri Is, a healthy flow of gastric juice,
good appetite, and a 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 torpors
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nowadays
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi-
fed with this poison. The relief is temporary
If they cough, they take a 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 deshy. 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
cavates have been formed in the lungs. A little
stimulant is frequently beneficial to comsump-
tiyes, such as pure brandy or good wines, in
many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
ems o. instead of curing consumption, 1.o g..
The Sea weed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly invig Grating the stomach and diges-
tive system, and enabling it to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in its
effects that wine glass full will digest hearty
meal, and little of it taken before breakfast
will give a tone to the stomach which few medi-
eines possess the power of doing
TIE MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by all ages and conditions, produc-
ing oil the good results thas can be obtained
from calomel, or any of the mercurial medicines
and Sithoutan of their hurtful or injurious re-
suits. They carry out of the system the feculent
and worm out matters loosened and dissolved by
nv Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. 1t
will be seen that all three of my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
