Tie History Of DR.. Schcnck's orn Case, d.
bO,c he rds cured Ot CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel
pha had progressed gradually into the last
Stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
by my physician, Dr. Parrish to remove into the
country. Moorstown, New Jersey, being my ma
tive place, was removed ththcr. My father
and an his family had lived and died thcre-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption; ON my arri-
weeks in what was deemed II hopeless condi-
ton. DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician @nd had attended nm IN ms
my 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, l heard of the
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 new action, and
the morbid mnttcr which for many years had
accumulated and irrituted the different organs
of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles ON
my lungs ripened, and cxpcctorated from my
lungs as much aS pint OF yellow offensive mat
ter every morning. As this cNpcctoration OF
me- the 1 Cough ceased @ to har'ss me, and the ex-
hausting night-sweats were no longer known,
been a stranger My appetite now began to re-
turn, and at times found il difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return

an incurabe disease, by every one, physicians
as well as those who Were unlcarned in medi-
cine-cspecially such eases as were reduced to

people to believe my recovery only temporary
! now prepared and gave the medicines TO con
sumptiVcS forsome 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 1t

cipal oliicei Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
| Forsevcral years past | hav" made a> many
rs five hundred examinations weekly with th'
I"RespirOmctCr.' For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables me t.
give each patient the true condition of his dis
ease, and tell him frankly whether he Will ge
well. The great reason why physicians do no
cure Consumpi ion Is, that they try to do toe
much: they give medicine To stop the cough, I,
stop the night sweatS, hectic fever, and 10y So
doing they dcrangc the whole digestive system
king up the secretions, and eventually the
patient dies.
The Pulmonlc Syrup is one oCthc most valu
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, power
opium, yet looscns the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws 1t OF with little eNer'

and absorbed into blood, To which 1t imparts its
