THE HISTORY OF DIR. SoHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION. ...


CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes OF |
my recovery being dissipated, / was advised by [
my physician, DR., Parrish, TO remove into the
country, MOorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. Ny father
and all his family had lived aud died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val | was put to bed, where / lay for many
weeks in whR: was deemed hopeless condition,
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply sician, and had attended him in his last i'll
ness, was called TO 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, / heard Of the remedies
which nov make and sell. II seemed to me
that could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my
system.
Ny lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritattd the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and l eNpectorated from
my lungs as much pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this eXpectoraton Of
matter subsidized, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass ne, and the ex-
hausting might sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger. Ny appetite now began 70 re-
turn and at times found il difficult 10 restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health I gained in strength, and now am
| feshy. / am now a healthy man, with large
/ healed cicatrix in the middle lobe Of the right
! lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
| adhesion Of the pleura. The let: lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in tole-
rably healthy condition.
Consumption at tnat time was thought TO be
an incurabe disease by every enc, physicians as
well as those who we're 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 consumpuves
! for some time, and made many wonderful cures ;
| and the demand increased so rapidly that | de-
termined to offer them to the public, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far aid near, to ascertain whether
their cases we're like mine.
For many years, in Injunction with my prin-
cipal ONCE in Philadelphia, have heen making
regular profession. Isis 10 New ork, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past l have made as many
ss five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respirometer.n 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
night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they
derange the whole digestive system, locking up
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonsc Syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in itself. It contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold but it will be well first to take dose of
Schenek 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 be,t prepar atoms of
iron in use; it is powerful tonic of itself; and
when the Seaweed Tonic dssolves the mucus in
M lndrake Pills, healthy flow Of gastric Juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none
other is required when it is used 1t is pure and
| p easant; no bad effects ike when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor,
| the liver locks up all the secretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
| dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-days
by almost every physician. Many patients that
| visit my rooms, both male and female, are stunt
! fed wi this poison. The relief is temper lry,
| Ifthey cough, they take 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 feshy The stomach, liver, and
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. Ne 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 on, instead Of curing consumption,
/ Inc SeaWeeu 1OnlC produces lasting results,
I thoroughly invigorating 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 win digest hearty
meal, and little OF il taken before breakfast
will give a tone to the stomach which few medi-
sines possess the power of doing
| The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by all ages and conditions, produc-
ing all the good results tha. can be obtained
from calomel, or any of the mercurial medicines
and withoutany of their hurt III or injurious re-
suits. They carry out Of the system the feculent
and worn out matters locsened and dissolved BY
my Sesweed Tonic and Pulnoric Syrup. 1t
will be seen that all three OF my medieanes are
needed in most cases 10 care Conssnrssn. >
