Tar HISTORY OF Dr.. SeHExeK,s OWN Casr
AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF CoSsUxP7ToS.
Many years ago, whilst residing in PbilideI-
phia had progressed gradually into the last
stage OF Pulmonary Consumption. All hones
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 theither. NV
father and all his family had lived and d;sd
there-and died of Pulmonary Consumptiop.-
On my arrival / was put to bed, where Law
for many weeks IN what was deemed hopeless
condition. Dr. Thornton, who had been NV
father family physician, and had attended him
in his last illness, was called 10 see me. he
thought my case entirely beyond the reach Of
medicine, and decided that I must die, and
gave me one week to arrange my temporal
affairs. In this appearantly hopeless condition,
heard Of the remedies which / now make and
sell. 1t seemed 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 years had accuu-
ulated and irritated tbe different oreans Of The
body, was eliminated, the tuberrles Of nv LUNGS
npened, and expectOrated from my lungs as
much as pint of yellow offensive matter every
morning. As this expectOratiou Of matter sub
sided, the fever abated, the pain left me the
cough ceased to hArrass me, and the exhaustino
night-sweets were no longer known, aud had
refreshing sleep, to which had long been a
stranger. My appetite now began to return.
and at times | found It difficult to restrain NV
self from eating too much; with this return of
health, gained in strength, and now am feshy.
/ am now healthy man, with large healed
cicatrix in the middle lobe Of the right lung and
the lower lobe hepatized with complete sdhe-
sion 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 be
an incurable disease, By every one, physicians
as well as those who were ualearned' IN medi.
cine-especially such cases as were reduced to
the condition l was in. This induced many
people to believe ny recOTery only temporary.
/ now prepared and gave the medicine to con-
sumptives for some time, and made many won
derfll cures; and the demands increased so ran
idly that determined 10 offer them TO the pub.
lie, and devote my undivided attention 10 lung
diseases. In truth ] was next to forced to It.
for people wound send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their cases were like mine
q For many years, in conjunction with nv
principal Office in Philadelphia, I 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. For such examination nv
charge is three dollars and IL enables me TO give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
and tell him frankly whether he viii 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
,sn,hf- haatfr L.
they dersnge the whole digestive system, lock.
ing up the secretions, and eventually the patient
dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one Of the most val
liable medicines known. It is nutrient, power
fully tonic, and healing in itself 1t contains
no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronch-
ial tubes, and nature throws IL off with little ex-
ertiou. One bottle frequently cures an ordin-
ary cold; but it will be well first to take dose
Of Schencks Mandrake's Pills to cleanse the
stomach. The PulmOnic Syrup is readily di-
gested and absorbed into blood, to which It i'm
parts its healing properties. 1t is one Of the
best preparations of iron in use; it is powerful
tonic of ITSELF and when the Seaweed Tonic
dissolyes the mGcus in the stomach, and is car
ried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills
healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite and
good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant. ard none
other is required when it is used. 1t is pure
and pleasant; no bad effects like when using
Bourbon whisky which disorders the stomach.
torpers the liver, locks mp all the secretions,
turns the blood into water, dropsy sets in. and
the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whiskey is recommended now.a-
days by almost every physician. Many patients
that visit my rooms, both male and female, arc
stupeied with this poison. The relief is tenn
pOrary. If they cough they take little whis-
ky; if they feel weak and feeble they take a
little whisky; if they cannot sleep they take
little whisky; and they go on in this way, re-
quiring more and more until they are bloated
up, and imagine they are getting fesby. The
stomach, liver and digestive powers are COM
pletely destroyed, and lose their appetite for
food. No one was ever cured of Consumption
by this process, where cavities have been form
ed in the lungs. A little stmulant is frequent
ly beneficial to cOnsumptives, such rs pure
brandy or good wines; in many cases London
porter or brown stout in moderate Qualities: but
Bourbon whiskey has.ens on instead Of curing
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigOrating the stomach and di-
gestive system, and enabling It to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food " vhich nav be
used for that purpose. It is so wonderful in
its effects that a winegiass fun viii digest a
hearty meal, and little OF u taken before
breakfast will give tone to the stomach which
few medicines possess the power Of doing.
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken
with entire safety by ali ages and conditions,
producing sll the good results that can be OBJ
iained from ealomel, or any of the mercurial
and without any Of their hurtful or
injurious results. They carry out of the sys-
tenn the feculent and worn-out matters lOOsened
and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull
monic Syrup. 1t viii be seen that all three of
NY medicines are needed in most cases to cure
Consumption.
