 THE HISTORY OF DR SCHENCK'S OWN
 CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF
 CONSUMPTION,
 Many years ago, whilst residing in Phiiadel- phia. had progressed gradually into the fast stage of Pulmonary Consumption All hopes of my recovery being dissipated, was advis ed by my physician. Dr. Parrish, to remove into the country. Moorcstown, 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 Put monary Consumption. On my arrival 1 was put to bed, where 1 lay fol many weeks l1 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 sec 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 affairs. In this apparently hopeless condition, I heard of the remedies which Inow make and sell. It seehl- ed to me that 1 could feel them working their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my system.
 My lungs and liver put on new actio., 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 a pint ot yellow otfens- 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 e@hausting nightsweats were no longer known. and had refreshing sleep, ts which l had long been a stranger. My appe- 'ite now began to return, and at times fo and it difficult to restrain myself from eating too much with this return of health, gained in strength and now am fleshy. I am now healthy man, with a large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion of the pleura. The left lung is sound. and the upper lobe of the right one is in a tolerabiy healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought to be an incurable disease by every one, physi clans as well as those who were unlearned in medicine-esp. cially such cases as were reduced to the condition l was in. This induced many people to believe my recovery only temporary 1 now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives for some time, and made many wonderful cures 1; and the demand increased so rapidly, that determined 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 and near, to ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
 For snany years, in con unction with my principal office in Philadelphia, I have been making regular professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore aud Pittsburg.
 For several years past. have made ;ls ma ny as five hundred examinations, weekly with the Respirometer . For. such examination my charge is thr e dollars, and it enables me to give eae eh patient the condition of his dis ease. and tell him frankly whether he will get we'll
 The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, that they try to do too much i; they give medicines to try to stop the cough, to stop the night-sweats, hectic fever. and by so doing, they. derange the whole digestive system, locking up the secretions, and eventu- ally the patient dies.
 i'he Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val uable medicines known It is nutrient, pow erfully tonic and healing in itself. It con tains no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and nature throws it off with little exertion one bottle frequently cures an ordinary colo but it will be we'll 1 first to take d dose of Schenck's $ Mandrake I Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pul,nonic Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts its healing proper ties. It is one of the best preparations of iron in use it is a powerful tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus in the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of | the Mandrake Pills a healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite, and d good digestion fol- | low
 The Seawecd Tonic is stimulant, and none other is required when it is used It is pure 1 and pleasant no bad effects like when using Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stom- ach, torpors tue liver, locks up all the secre- tiens turns the blood into water, dropsy set in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended .now-a days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe- male, are sturified with this poison. The re lief is temporary. If they cough, they take q little whisky if they feel weak and. feeble they take little whisky if they cannot sleep they takea little whisky and they go on in this way requiring more and more until they are bloated up, and imagine they are getting feshy. The stomach liver and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed, and lose theil appetite for food No one was ever cured o consumption by this process, where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A little stimu lant is frequently beneficial to consumptives such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases, London porter or brown stout in mode rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens on, instead of curing consumption
 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 which may be used for that purpose. It is so won derful in it's effects that wineglass full will digest hearty meal. and little of 1t taken before breakfast, will give tone to the stom- 1 ach, which few medicines possess the power of doing.
 |. The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with entire safety by all ages 'and conditions. pro- ducing all the good results that can be obtain ed from calomel, or any of the mercurial med icines, and without any of their hurtful or in- juriGus results. They carry out of the system the feculent and worn-out matters loosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull monic Syrup. It will be seen that all three of my medicines are needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
