THE HISTORY OF DIR. SoHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
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 dissipated 1 was advised by |
my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the |
country, Moorestown, New jersey, being my |
native place, was removed thither. My father |
and al his family had lived and died there, and |
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri- |
val l was put to bed, where lay for many
weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply siaan, and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, was called to see me. He thought my case |
entirely beyond the reach of medicine, 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 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 q new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritatCd the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tuberoles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and I expectorated from
my lungs as much pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. AS this eXpectoraton of
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the eX-
| hausting night sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to 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
| of health gained in strength, and now am
| feshy. am now healthy man, with a large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
| lung and the lower lobe bepatized with complete
adhesion of the pleura. The lefs 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 reduced to the con-
dition 1 was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. / now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptiyes
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 ard near, to ascertain whether
| their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past L have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with tn,
| ''Respirometer." For such examination m,
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to Civ
each patient the true condition of his disease
and tell him frankly whether he will get we'll.
The great reason why physicians do not GU
| Consumption is, that they try to do too nnucl
they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop Il
= night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing tn
derange the whole digestive system, locking
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
. The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most vail
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains 1
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronehi
| tubes and nature throws it off with little exc
, ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinar
l cold; but it will be well first to take a dose
Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and al
sorbed into blood, to which itimparts its healin
properties. 1t is one of the best preparations
iron in use; it is powerful tonic OF Itself; AM
when tho seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus il
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of thu
Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice
good appetite, and agood digestion follow. "
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and 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, torpors
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nowadays
| by almost every physician. Many patients thai
| visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi
fed with this poison. The relief temporary
If they cough, they take little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky
| if they cannot sleep, they take a little whisky
| and they go on in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloated up, and imagine
| thew are getting fleshy. The stomach, liver, and
| digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
| lose their appetite for food. No one was evei
cured of consumption by this process, where
| cavaties have been formed in the lungs. little
stimulant is frequently beneficial to comsump
tives, such as pure brandy or good wines, ii
many cases London porter or brown stout II
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
ems on, instead Of curing consumption. SD.
The seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and diges
tive system, and enabling it to eliminate anC
make into healthy blood the food which may b
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in it
effects that wine glass full will digest a heart
meal, and a little of it taken before breakfas
will give tone to the stomach which few medi
cines possess the power of doing sslya -
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken viii
entire safety by all ages and conditions, produc
ing all the good results that can be obtaine
from caIomel, or any Of the mercurial medicine
d and without any of their hurtful or injurious re
suits. They carry out of the system the feculen

win be seen that all three of my medicines ar
needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
