THE HISTORY OF DIR. SoHENCR'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW BE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel.
pba, had progr 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, 10 rtmove into the
country, Moorestown, New jersey, being my
native plas, was removed lhther. Ny father
and a his family had ived and died there, aud
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri
val l was put to bed, whore l lay for many
weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply sillan, and had attended him in his last i'll
ness, was called TO see me. He thou, hit my case
entirely beyond tie 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 sell. 1t seemed to me
thai could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every neEve, fibre, and tissue of my
system.
My lungs and liver put on a new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat d the different organs of the
body, eliminated, the tuberces on my lungs
on my lung ripened and 1 txpec GRATED from
my lungs as much as pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration Of
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex.
hausting nis hit sweats were no longer known
| and had refreshing sleep, to which ! had long
been stranger. Ny appetite now began to re-
| turn, and at tim found itdificult TO restrain
myself from eating too much with this return

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 left 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 enc, physicians as
well as those who were nnlearned in medicine
