OF CONSUMPTION.

THE HISTORY OF DIR. SoHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel.
phi', had progressed gradually into the las,
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All homes Of
my recovery being dis irat,d, l was advised bv
my physician, DR., Parrish, to remove into the
country Moorestown, New Jersey, being nv
native place, was removed thither. NV father
and al his family had Gyed and died there. and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val | was pat to bed, vh,re | lay for MANY
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition.
DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
PHI s'Aan, and had attenie him in his last i'll
meas, was called TO see me. He thou hit nv case
entirely beyond tie reach Of medicine, and de-
oided that must die, and gave me one week ia
arrange my temporal affairs In this apparently
hopeless condition, | heard of the remedies
winch l nov make ard sell. 1t seemed to me
tha' could feel them working their way, and
Penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of nv
system.
My lungs and liver put on a new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat the tferent organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tuberces on nv lungs
on my lung rpened, and I txpec, GRATED from
my lungs as much as a pint of yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration #
matter subS ed, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me. and the ex
hausung nisht sweats were no longer known
and had refreshing sleep, to which / had long
been Stranger. My Ape ite now began to re-
turn, and at Tins found it difficult TO restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
Of health gained in strength, ami now am
heshy. am now healthy man, with a large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatzed with complete
adhesion Of the pleura The left 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 incurable disease by every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases SO were redu ed to the con-
oltlon was in. Thisirduoed many people to be-
heye my recovery only temporary. / now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptiyes
Tor some time and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidlv that T de-
termlned 10 offer them to the IubGc, and devote
my uhdiVlded attention to lung diseases In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in Injunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg
For several years past l have made as MANY
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respirometer." 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 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
hlght-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing thew
derange the whole digestive system. locking mn
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one Of t. most yaIu-
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 it off with little exer-
tloni one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be we'll first to take dose of
Schenck' S Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmoric Syrup is readily digested and alb.
sorbed into blood, 10 which it imparts its healing
properties. 1t is one of the be preparations of
iron in use; it is powerful tonic of itself: and
when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus in
me stomach, and IS carried of by the aid Of the
Mandrake III Is healthy flow OF ,stric juice,
good appetite and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is d s,imulant, and none
'ther IS required when it is used 1t is pure and
easant; no bad efec-s ike when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor g
he liver, locks up all the secretions, turns the
Hood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
lies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-days
" almost every physician. Many patients that
'isit my rooms, both male and female, are stunt.
led wi this poison. The relief is temper sry.
f they cough, they take little whisky; if they
eel weak and feeble, they take little whisky;
f they cannot sleep, they take little whisky;
md they go on in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloa ed up, al d imagine
hey are getting feshy. The stomach, liver. and
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
ose their appetite for food No one was ever
'ured Of consumption by this process, where
aYaties have been formed in the lungs. A little
is frequently beneficial to comsump-
ives, such IS pure brandy or good wines. in
many cases London porter or brown stout in
Moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
ms on, insta d of curing consumption.
The Seawed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly nvigorating the stomach and diges-
i've system and enabling it to eliminate and |
make into neal by blood the food which may be |
Used for tina purpose. It is so wonderfuI in its |
fleets thata wine glass full will digest q hearty
neal, and little of il taken before breakfast |
will give a ne to the stomach which few medi- |
ines possess the power of doing
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with |
ntire safety by all ages and conditions, produc-
ng all the good results that can be obtained |
rom calomeb or any of the mercurial medicines |
nd withoutsny Of their hurt I'll or injurious re-
ults. They carry out of the system the feculent
nd worn. out matters loosened and dissolved by |
ny Sesweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. It
viii be seen that all three of my medicines are
eeded in most cases to cure Consumption.
