THE HISTORY OF DIR. sCHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION,

Or CONSOMfIION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel-
phis, had Trogrt ssed gradually into the last
| stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of
my recovery being dis,ipated, l was advised by
my physician, DR. Parrish, to remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. My father
aud al his family had fived and died there, and |
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri. |
val | was put to bed, whore l lay for many |
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition
DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers family |
phi, slian, and had ATTENDED him in his last i'll.
ness, was called TO see me. lie thou. hit my case |
entirely beyond tie reach Of medicine, and de- |
cided that must die, and gave one week TO |
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently |
hopeless condition, / heard of the remedies |
which l nov make and sell. II 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 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 ripened, and l expec GRATED from
my lungs much pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. AS this eXpectoration If
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to har ass me, and the ex-
haustng nj ht sweats longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which I had long
been a stranger Ny appetite now began to re-
turn, and al tim-s l found it difficult TO restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health gained in strength, and now am
heshy. 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
an incurable disease by every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases hs were redu ed to the con-
dition / was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. l now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptves
for some time, and made many wonderful cures;
and the demand increased so rapidly that / de-
termined TO offer them to the Iubltc, ana devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far az d near, to ascertain whether
their cases we're like mine.
For many years, in Injunction with my prin'
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
Baltimore and ri tsburg.
For several years past / have made as man
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with tn
''Respir ometer" For such examination IN
charge i three dollars, and it enables me to giN

and tell him frankly whether he will get we'll.
