THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW He WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.


phis, / had lrcgrts sed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of
my recovery being dis'ipated, | was advised by |
my physician, DR.. Parrish, 10 remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, l was removed thither. My father
and Il his family had nved 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,
Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
| ply scian, and had ATTENDED him in his last ILL
| ness, was called to see me. He thoug hit my case
entirely beyond t reach OF medicine, and de-
cided that must die, and gave me one week to
| arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
| hopeless condition, l heard of the remedies
which nov make ard sci. 1t seemed to me
that could feel them working their way, and /
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my |
system.
Nv lungs and liver put on new action, and |
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat, the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tuberces on my lungs !
on my lung rpened, and 1 eXpec GRATED from
my lung as much pint of yellow offensive
matter every morning. As This eXpectOration Of
matter subsi1ej, the fever abatsd, the pain left
me- the cough ceased to har5ass me, and the eX-
| hausting nig hit sweats no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger My appetite now began TO re-
turn, and at times 1 found it difficult 10 restrain

Of health gained in strength, and now am
aeshy. 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 st 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 as were redu ed to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve nay recovery only temporary. l now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptives
| for some tine, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that de-
termined o 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 at near, to ascertain vhe Their
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past l have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Resprometer.n For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables 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 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 they
y derange the whole digestive system, locking uI
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
