The History of Dr. Schenck' $ opn Case, If,
ho,r he ,cas cured Of CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing in PhiladeI-
phia had ProgreSSed grann9ig into The Soas last
of my recovery being dissipatcd was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish to remove into the
tive place, was removed thither My father
and all his family had lived and died there-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. on my arrl-
val was put to bed, where lay for many
weeks in what was deemed II hopeless condi-
tion. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
last illness, was called to see me; He thought
and decided that must die, and gave me one
week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this
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 new action, and
the morbid matter which for many years had
of the body, was eliminated, the tubcrcles
my lungs ripened, and expectorated from my
lungs as much as pint OF yellow offensive mat
ter every morning. AS this expectoration of
matter subsidized, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harass me, and the ex-
hausting night-sweats We're no longer known.
and had refreshing sleep, to which I had long
turn, and at times found it difficuit to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
OF health, gained in strength, and now am
fieshy. / am now n healthy man, with large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
plete adhesion of the pleura. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe OF the right one is in
tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to DO
an incurabe disease, by every one, physicians
as well as those who We're unlearned in medi-
the condition was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temporary.
| now prepared and gave the medicines to con-
sumptives for rsome time, and made many won
derful cures; and the demand increased so rap
| Idly that determined to offer them to the pub
lie, and devote my undivided attention to lung
diseases. In truth, was next to forced to It.
ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
| For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
regular proossionai Visits to New York Bosto6
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
Forseveral years past have made as many
as five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respirometer." For such examination my
charge is three dollars and it enables me to
give each patient the true condition of his dis
ease, 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 medicine to stop the cough, to
stop the night sweats, hectic fever, and by so
locking up the secretions, and eventually the
patient dies.
The Pulmonc Syrup is one of the most vau-
fully tonic, and healing in itself. 1t contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes and nature throws ii off with little exer-
tion. One bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold but it will be well first to take dose OF
mach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested
and absorbed into blood to which 1t imparts it's
rations dfiron in use; it is powerful tonic Of
itself and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves
the aid Of the Mandrake Pills, healthy iow Of
gastric juice, good appetite, and IA good dlges-
ton follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and mono
other is required when II Is used. 1t is pure d
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 now a days
t by almost every physician. Many patients that
pfed with this poison. The relfefts temporary
II they cough they take n little whisky; II they
feel weak and feeble they take n little whisky:
and they go on in this way, requiring more ana
more until they are bloated mp, and imagine
they are getting fieshy. The stomach, liver and
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
cured of consumption by. this process, where
cavities have been formed in the lungs. A lit
: tie stimulant is frequently henencial TO con
sumptives, such as pure brandy or good wine;
q moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has
: tens on instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
E, thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-
make into healthy blood the food which may
be used for that purpose. 1t is SO wonderful In
its effects that wine glass full will digest a
hearty meal, and little of II taken before eat
ing will give tone to the stomach which few
medicines possess the power ofdoing.
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 mercur1al medicines, and
without any of their hurtful or injurious re-
and worn out matters loosened and dissolved
by my Seawced Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. II
' will be seen that all three OF my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption
