THE HISTORY OF DIR. soHENCK's OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while ding in Philsdel.
phib, had rrcgr, ssed gradually into the last
stage OF Pulmonary Consumption, All hopes Of
my recovery being Gis>ipated was advised by
my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country, Moorestown, New jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. My father
AID a | his family had lived aud died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri
val / was pat to bed, whore lay for many |
weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family |
phi, siuan, and had attende him in his last ill |
ness, was called TO see me. He thous ht my ease |
entirely beyond reach of medicine, 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 now make and sell. 1t seemed TO me
tina I could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my
system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
late1 and irritat the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tuberces on my lungs
on my lung rpened, and I tXpec GRATED from
my lungs much as pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectOration Of
matter subsiied, the fever abated, the pain left
| me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the eX-
hausting nish sweats we're no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
beena 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 l gained in strength, and now am
I hes thv ms with
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the loweflobe hepatized with complete
adhesion of the pleura. The lief. lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in 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 unlearned in medicine
| especially such cases were Iedu ed to the con-
dition was in. Thisinduced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. l now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to eonsumprvei
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that l de-
termined o offer them TO the ublie, and devote
!, my undivided attention to lung diseases In
y truth, next to forced to it for people would
send for me far a. near, to ascertain whether
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in injunction with my priR-
regular professional visits TO New York, Boston
Baltimore and Piltsburg.
For several years past l have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respir ometern For such examination my
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 we'll.
The great reason why physicians do not cur
Consumption is, that they try to do too much
they give medicines TO stop the cough, to stop thu
J. night-sweats hectic fever, and by so doing they
y derange the whole digestive system, locking al
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Fulmonic Syrup is one of t. most valu
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains NJ
opium, yet loosels the phlegm in the bronchia
tubes, and nature throws il off with little exer
: ton; one bottle frequently oul es an OF binary
a cold but it will be we'll first TO take dose o
Schenck Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach
IS The PulmoDic Syrup is readily digested and alb
sorbed into blood, 10 which it imparts its healing
: properties. 1t is of the be prepaI atoms

The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none

" p essant no bad effec ike when using Bourbon
;. whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor
n the liver locks up all the secretons, turns the
t. blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
E dies suddenly.
r Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-day
!, by almost every physician. Many patients tina

@ fed wi h this poison. The reliets temper ry

cured of coz sumption by this process, where
