THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENCKS OWN
CASH, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.

VI NONSN hL IAON'
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, was advised by
my physician, DR.. Parrish, 20 remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, l was removed thither. NY father
and all his family had nved and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val l was put to bed, where l lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply stefan, and had attended him in his last ill
ness, was called to see me, He thought my case
entirely beyond the reach of medlcine, and de-
cided that must die, and gave one week TO
arrange my temporal affairs In this apparently
hopeless condition, l heard Of the remedies
which nov make ard sell. 1t seemed to me
thai could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue Of my
system.
Ny lungs and liver put on a new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irrtat,d the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung rpened, and l expectorated from
my lungs as much as a pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration Of
matter s8bsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me- the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex-
hausting night sweats we're no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger Ny 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 a 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 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
+ inGurable disease by every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned 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. l now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptives
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, 10 ascertain whether
their cases were like mine
/ For many years, in conjunction with my prn-
eipal Office in Philadelphia, I have been making
regular professional visits sT--- srs.L, posgvu,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past l have made as manv
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respirometer." For such examination nv
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
and tell him frankly whether he will get well.
The great reason Why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try to do too much;
they give medicines to stop the cough to stop the
night-sweats, hectic fever, and by SO doing thew
derange the whole digestive system, locking up
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 It contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first to take dose of
Schenek's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and alb.
sorbed into blood, to which it imparts its healing
properties. 1t is one Of the best preparations of
iron in use; it is 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 good 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, torpo RS
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-days
by almost every physician Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female are stupi-
fed with this poison. The relief is temporary,
If they cough, they take a little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky;
ifthey cannot sleep, they take little whisky;
and they 60 on in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloated up, and imagine
they are getting ieshy. The stomach, liver, and
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
enred of oonoumptton by this process, where
cavaties have been formed in the lungs, A little
stimulant is frequently beneficial to oomsump-
tives, 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 Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigoratng the stomach and diges-
tive system, and enabling 1t to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in its
effects that wine glass full will digest hearty
meal and a little of it taken before breakfast
Will givea tone 10 the stomach which few medi-
eines possess the power Of doing
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by all ages and conditions, produc-
ing al the good results that can be obtained
from calomel, or any of the mercurial medicines
and vithoutany of their hurttul or injurious re-
suits. They carry out Of the system the feculent
and worn-o out matters loosened and dissolved by
my Seaweed Tonic and Pulnonic Syrup. II
win be seen that all three of my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption
