THE HISTORY OF DIR. SoHENCK,s OWN
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, Aoorestown, New Jersey, being nv
native place, was removed thither. MY father
and all his tlmily had lived aud died there, and
died OF Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val was put to bed, whore l lay for many
weeks In what was deemed hopeless condition.
Dr. Thorntoh, who had been my fathers family
phi! stefan, and had attended him in his last ILL
! ness, was called TO see me. He thouA hit nv case
entirely beyond tie reach of medicine, and de.
cided that must die, and gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies
which nov make ard sell. 1t seemed to me
that 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 iritat the dfferent organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
! on my lung rpened and l eXpec GRATED from
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-
haustlng night sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn, and at times found it difficult TO restrain
from N., ,,ok,
Of health gained in strength, and now am
feshy. I am now healthy man, with large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatixed 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-
ditlon was in. This induced many people to be-
heve my recovery only temporary. | now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptiyes
for come 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 nextto forced to it for people would
send for me far near, 10 ascertain vhsthe-
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in Injunction with my prin-
oipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and PiItsburg.
For several years past l have made as many
as hVe 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 M
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most vaIu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in itself It contains no
opium, yet ioosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer.
tom 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, which 1t imparts its healing
properties. 1t is one of the best prepar atoms Of
iron in USE it is powerful tonic of itself; and
when the Seaweed Tonic dssolyes the mueus in
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the
Mandrake Fl Is, healthy flow OF strio Juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimuant, and none
other is required when it is used 1t is pure and
easant; no bad efec' like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpors
the liver. 'osiso up all the secretions, turns the

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 b this poison. The relief is temporary.
If they cough, they take little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky:
if they cannot sleep, they take lit lie whisky;
and they go on In this way requiring more and
more until they are bloa ed up, al d imagine
they are getting fs,hy. The stomach, liver, and
diges I've powers are completely DESTROYED, and
lose heir appetite for food. No ole was ever
cured Of consumption by this process, where
cavaties have been foi med in the lungs. A little
stimulant is frequently beneficial to eomsump-
tives, such as pue brandy or good wives. in
many cases London porter or brown sto,.i IN
moderate quantities.; but Bourbon whisky hast.
ems on, instead of curing cousunp tiou.
