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


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 dis,ipated, l was advised by
my physician, DR.. Parrish, TO remove into the
country, Mooresown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed ,hither. Ny father
and all his family had lived and died there, and
died OF Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val l was put to bed, whore / lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition

phi! siclan, and hal attended him in his last ILL
ness, was Gale 20 see me. He thourht my case
entirely beyond { reach OF me1icine, 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 l nov make and sell. 1t seemed to me
thai could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my
system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat, d the tIerent organs of the
body, was eliminated the tuberces on my lungs
on my lung rpened, and expecs GRATED from
my lungs as much as q pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration Of
matter subsiiej, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me. and the ex-
hausting nisht sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, 70 which 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

adhesion Of the pleura. The LET'S 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 anlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were redu ed to the con-
dition was in. Thisindueed many people to be-
heve my recovery only temporary. l now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to eonsumptives
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 a. d near. Go ascertain whether
their cases were IKE 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 have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respirometer.n For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
aud tell him frankly whether he will get we'll.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Construction is, that they try to do too much
they give medicines TO stop the cough to stop the
nlght-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 ~ the most Valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in itself. Il contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws il off with little eXer-
ton; one bottle frequently cues an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first TO take dose Of
Schenok's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and ab'
sorbed into blood, TO 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 dlssolves the mucus in
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the
Mandrake ri Is, a healthy flow OF ,stric juice,
good appetite, and q good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none
other required when it is used 1t is pure and
easant; no bad effects like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor
the liver, locks up all the seoretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nova days

visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi.

feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky /;

digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever

Cavaties have been formed in the lungs. A little

many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
