The History Of Dr.. Schench's opn Case, G
ho,U he ,cas cured Of CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel-
phlo, had progressed gradually into the last
Stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country. Moorstown, New Jersey, being my ma
and ali his family had lived ana died there-omd
died of Pulmonary consumption; on my arri-
weeks in what was deemed II hopeless condi
ton. DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers
last illness, was called to see me. He thought
my case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
and decided that must die, and gave me one
week TO arrange my temporal affairs. In this
apparently hopeless condition., heard of the
remedies which now make and sell; 1t seem
ed 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 many years had
accumulated and irritated the different organs
OF th9 body was thG ero ,on ON
lungs as much as pint ofXel!ow offensive mat

me, the cough ceased to harass me, and the ex-
hausting night -sweatS were no longer known,
been a stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn and at times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much; with this return
of health, gained i'll strength, and now am
tleshy. / am now a healthy man. with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hcpatzed with conf
plete adhesion of the pleur9. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is IN
a tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought TO be
an lncurab!c disease, BY every one, phySicians
cine-especlally such cases rs were reduced to
the condition 1 was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temporary.
! now prepared and gave the medicines to con-
SumptiVcS fOrsOme time, ana made many won
derful cures; and the demand increased so rap
idly that determined 70 offer them to the pub
lie, and devote my undivided attention To lung
for people would send for me far ana near, to
ascertain whether their cases We're IKE mine.
cipai ofiiceiri rhladephia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and PittSburg.
Forseveral years past I have made as many
as five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Rcspiromcter." For such examination my
give each patient thc true condition of his dis
ease, and ten 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 medicine to stop the cough, to
stop the might sweatS, hectic fever, 1f,yer, and by so
locking up the sccrctions, and eventually the
patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the, most valu-
fully tonic, and healing in itself II containSno
opium, yet loosens the phlegln in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it OIL with little exer-
tion. one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but 1t viii be well mTst to take dose OF
mach. The Pulmonic syrup is readily digested
and absorbed into blood, to which 1t imparts Its
healing properties. 1t is one OF the best prepa-
itself: and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves
the nuous in the stomach, and Is carried OFF by
the aid of the Mandrake hills healthy now OF
gastric juice good appetite, and good diges-
tion follow.
The Seaweod Tonic is stimulant, and none
other is required when ii is used. 1t is pure 4
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bour-
bon whisky, which disorders the stomach, tor
pors the liver, locks up all the secretions turns
The blood into water, dropsy sets in and the pa
tient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nowadays
hV almost nlNSipiun. Many DatipntS that
visit my rooms both male and female, are stu
piled with this poison. The rclicfis temporary

ifthey cannot sleep, they take little whisky.
and they go on in this way, requiring more and
more until they are bloatcd up, and imagine
they are getting tieShy. The stomach, liver and
lose their appetite for food No one was ever
cured of consumption by this process where
cavities have been formed In the lungs. n lit
tie stimulant is frequently beneficial to con-
sumptives, such rs pure brandy or good wine;
iu many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has
tens on instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invgorating the stomach and di-
geStive system, and enabling II to eliminate &
make into healthy blood the food which may

hearty meal, and little bf it taken before eat

medicines possess the power ofdong.
The Mandrake Pills may be taken with entire
safety by all ages and conditions, producing all
the good results that can be obtained from cal
omel, or any OF the mercurial medicines, and
without any OF their hurtful or injurious re-
suits. They carry out OF the system the lcculent
and worn out matters loosened and dissolved
by my Seaweed Tonic and PulmOnic Syrup. II
will be seen that all three of my medicines art
needed IN most cases to cure Consumption;
