THE HISTORY OF DIR. SoHENCR'S OWN |
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
( Many years ago, while residing in Philsdel-
phil, had rrogrt ssed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption, All hopes Of
my recovery being dissipated, / was advised by
my physician, Dr. Parrish, TO remove into the
| country, MoorestoWn, New Jersey, being my
| native place, was removed thither Ny father
ana AL his family had nved and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
| val l was put to bed, where lay for many
weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condition,
DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply siclan, and had ATTENDED him in his last i'll
| ness, was called TO see me. He thous 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, heard of the remedies
| which i now make and sell. 1t seemed TO me
that could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my
system.
My lungs and liver put on q new action, AID
the morbid matter which for years had aecumu-
lated and irritate the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and expectorated from
my lungs as much as a 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 ni.ht sweats were 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

hesby I am now healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatiGed with complete
adhesion of the pleura The lefs 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 inGurable disease by every one, physicians as
well as those who were anlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were redu ed to the con-
dition I was in. This induced many people to be-
lieve my recovery only temporary. l now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to eonsumptives
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that de-
termined TO offer them to the ublic, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far an near, TO ascertain whether
| 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 / have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
| s'Respir ometer.n 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 eur
Consumption is, that they try to do too much
they give medicines TO stop the cough, to stop thu
night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing theI
derange the whole digestive system, locking III
the seoretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonie Syrup is one of the most valu
able medicines known. o. 1t is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself 1t contains M
| opium, yet loosers the phlegm in the bronchia
tubes, and nature throws il off with little exer
ton; one bottle frequently cures an IdinarI
| cold; but it will be well first TO take dose o
/ Schencks Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and alb
sorbed into blood, to hch it imparts its healing
properties. 1t is one of the best prepaI atoms o
iron in use; it is powerful tonic of itself; anC
when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mueus il
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of thu
-
good appetite, and a good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and nont
other is required when it is used. 1t ispure ant
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bourbon
| whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns tn,
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patien
: dies suddenly.
r Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-day

, The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and diges

make into healthy blood the food which may b
used for that purpose. It is so wonderful in it
