 THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENCK'S OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION.
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel- phia l had progressed gradually into the fast stage uf Pulmonary Consum ption. All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was advis ed by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove in:o the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, l was removed thither. My father and all his fami iy had lived and died there-and died of Pull
  put to bed where I lay for many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers family physician, and had attended him in his 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 atfai,s. la this apparently hopeless condition, heard of the relhedies which now make and sell It seeIl-
 T ,nl (, ,t,s { l,csr 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 accumulated and irritated the different organs of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and I expectorated from my lungs as much as pint ot yellow offens- i've matter every morning. AS this expecto- ration of matter subsided, the fever abatsd, the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhausting night-sweats were no longer known. and had refreshing sleep, to which had long been stranger. My appe- ,ite now began to return, and at times 1 fO md it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength, and now am feshy. am now 8 healthy man, with large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatzed with complete adhesion 6f the pleura. The left lung is sornd, and the upper lobe of the right one is in a tolerably healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought te be an incurable disease by every one, physi clans as we'll as those who were unlearned in l mediciue-espt cially such cases as were reduced I to the condition was in. This induced many neople to believe ny recovery only temporary; | now prepared and gave the medicines te consumptives for some time, and made man, wonderful cures and the demand increased SC ranidly. that determined to offer them to tht nublic, and devote my undivided attention tt inng diseases. In truth, was next to forced to if for people would send for me far ant l neor to ascertain wh. ther their cases were lik'
 Eor many years, in conjunction with m, nrincipal office in Philadelphia, l have beei making regular professional visits to Ney York, Boston, Baltimore. and Pittsburg. i For several years past, have made as ma nv as five hundred examinations, weekly witl | the Respirometer.' For such examination
 mv charge is three dollars, and it enables m to give each patient the condition of his dii aase and tell him frankly whether he will ge we'll.
 The great rc;,sen why physicians do not cur
 consnmption is, that they try to do too much
 tbev give medicines to try to stop the cough to stop the night-sweats, hectic fever. and b
 so doing, they derange the whole digestlv
 sy.tem. locking up the secretions, and evsntu
 ally the patient dies =
 iih.. Pntmonic Syrup is one of the mos,>va
 n,ble medicines known. It is nutrient, pow
 srfn,ly tonic and healing in itself. It con lta;ns no opium, yet loosens the phiegm in tn
 h~onchial tubes, and nature throws it O
 u;tb little exertion ; one bottle frequentl
 cures an ordinary cold but it will be wei 5 6rst to take dose of Schenck's Mandrak'

The Pulmoni syrup is readily digested and absorbed int : biood. to which it imparts it's healing proper t;es It is one of the best preparations of irol wben the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucu in the stomach, and is carried of by the aid c sIthe Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastri : juice. good appetite, and good digestion fol The Seawesd Tonic is stimulant, and non other is required when it is used. 1t is pur and pleasant ;; no bad effects like when .usin
 Bourbon whisky. which disorders the stom ach. torpors the liver, locks up all the secre lions, turns the blood into water, dropsy set ) in, and the patient dies suddenly
 Bourbon whisky is recommended nova tdays by almost every physician. Many pa fients that visit my rooms, both male and fe male. are sturifed with this poison. The rs lief is temporary If they cough, they take ] little whisky : if they feel weak and feeble sj they take alittle whisky if they cannot sleeT they takea little whisky; and they go on i . tthis way requiring more and more until the are bloated up, and imagine they are gethE 3 lheshy. The stomach, liver, and digestive poy CTS are completely destroyed, and lose thel ;. lappetite for food. No one was ever cured. { consumption by this process, where cavitie } have been formedin the lungs. A little stint liant is freauenfly beneficial to consumpave. fsucl, as pure brandy or good wines, in man leases. London porter or brown stout n mode sate ouantities; but Bourbon whlsky nasten on, instead of caring consumpsaon.
