THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENoK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel. |
phi, had prOgr ssed gradually into the last |
stage OF Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes Of
my recovery being dis mated, was advised by
my physician, DR.. Parrish, 10 remove into the
country, hOOreStowu, New Jersey, being NY
native place, was removed thither. My father
and al his family had lived aud died there, and
! died OF Pulmonary Con sumption. On my arri-
! val j was put TO bed, where lay for many
! weeks IN what was deemed hopeless condition
| Or. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
/ ph sloan, and had attende1 him in his last ILL
mes was called to see me. He thous hit my case
! entirely beyond reach of medicine, and de-
! cided that must die, and gave me one week TO
/ arrange ny temporal affairs. In this apparently
| hopeless condition, | heard OF the remedies
which now make and sell 1t seemed to me
that I could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, FIBRE and tissue of nv
system.
| My lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat,d the different organs Of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and / eXpee GRATED from
my lungs as much as a pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectOration Of
matter subsiiei, the fever abated, the pain left
me- the cough ceastdto harrass me, and the ex.
hausting ni.ht sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, 10 which 1 had long
been a Stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn, and at tim 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 large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion Of the pleura. The lefG lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one 10 in q tole-
rably healthy condition.
| Consumption ST that time was thought to be
an incurable disease by every sne physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
| especially such cases as we're redu ed TO the con.
dition was in. This induced many people to be.
leve my recovery only temporary. i now pre-.
pared and gave the medicines to consumptiye
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that de
termined 10 offer them to the public, and devot,
my undivided attention TO lung diseases. II
truth, was next to forced to it for people woult
send for me far ar near, to ascertain whether
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in Injunction with my prin
ciPal once in fhiaaeiphin, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and Pitsburg.
For several years past l have made as man,
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with tn
"Respir ometer.n For such examination ny
charge j. three dollars, and it enables me to gvt
each patient the true condition of his disease
aud tell him frankly whether he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cur
Construction is, that they try to do too much
they give medicines TO stop the cough, to stop tn,
night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing the,
derange the whole digestive system, locking u
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup Is one of the most valu
| able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
! ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains NJ
opium, yet loosers the phlegm in the bronchia
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer
| ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be we'll first TO take dose Of
scheRek's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach

sorbed into blood, to which =. imparts its healing

the stomach, and is carried off By the aid of the
..a1raKe Pi Is, healthy how OF gastric juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
| The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and nome
| other IS required when it is used. 1t is pure and
| p easant; no bad effects like when using Bourbon
whi,ky, which disorders the stomach, torpors
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns the
! blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nowadays
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi
fed wi h this poison. The reliet is temper AIRY
Ifthey cough, they take little whisky; if they
| feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky
| If they cam OF sleep, they take a 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
| sipes 1, G powers are completely destroyed, and
| lose heir appetite for food. No one was ever
cur. d of consumption by this process, where
| csvaties have been for med in the lungs. A little
s,imulant is frequently beneficial to comsump-
| tiyes, such as pure brandy or good wines, in
| MANY cases London porter or brown stout in
| moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
ems on, instead Of curing consumption.

The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by all sges and conditions, produc-

from calomel, or any of the mercurial medicines
and withoutany Of their hurt III or injurious re-
suits. They carry out OF the sysiemthe feculent

will be seen that all three OF my medicines are
