The History of DR.. Schech's $ onn Case, d
ho,c he acas cured Of Consumption.


Many years ago, whilst residing in Phlade-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stages Of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dssipatcd, was advised
by my physician, DIR. Parrish, to remove into the
country. Moorstown, New Jersey being my ma
tive place, was removed thither. MY iather
died of Pulmonary Consumption. on my arri-
val was put to bed, where lay for many
weeks in what was deemed n hopeless cOndi-
tion. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
last illness, was called TO see me. lie thought
my ease entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
and decided that must die and gave me one
week to arrange my temporal affairs. IN thus
remedies which now make and sell; 1t seem
ed 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 n new action, and
the morbid matter which for many years had
of the body, was eliminated, the tuberclcs on
my lungs ripened, and eXpectorated from my
ter every morning As This cxpcctoration of
matter subsidized, the fever al,ated the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harass me, and the eX-
haustng night-swcas were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
turn, and at times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much: with this return
of ofhealth, gained in strength, and now am
teShy. ! am now II hcalthyfman, with II large
healed cicatrx i'm the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with COM
sound and the upper lobe of the right one is in
IA tolcrably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
AN incurable disease, by every one, physicians
as well as those who Were unlcarned in mcdi-
Icne-espcclally such cases rs were reduced to
the condition | was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temporary.
| now prepared and gave the medicines to con-
sumptivcs iorsome time, and made many Won
dcrtul cures; and the demand increased so rap
idly that determined to offer them To the pub
! lie, and devote my undivided attention to lung
diseases In truth, was next to forced to 1t,
for people would send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their eases We're like mine.
| For many years in conjunction with my prin-
cipnl otlccn Philadelphia have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston
baltimore and Pittsburg.
ForSeveral years past have made as many
as nv" hundred examinations weekly with the
"Rcspiromctcr." For such examination my
give each patient the true condition of his dis.
ease, and tell him frankly whether he Will gel
well. The great reason why physicians do not
cure Consumption Is, that they try To do to,
much they give medicine to stop the cough, tc
stop the night swcnts, hectic lcver, and by st
doing they derange the whole digestive system
locking M the sccrctions, and eventually TIN
patient dies.
The Puimonic syrup is one of the most valu
fully tonic, and healing in itself. 1t contains N

cold; but II wiz be wen first to take dose G
Schcnck's Man,trake's pills TO cleanse the ste
mach. The Pulmonic syrup Is readily digestc
and absorbed into blood, to which 1t imparts ii
healing properties. III is one Oh tit lhSl pfepi

. The Seaweed Tonic is stimuant, and non

pors the liver, locks up all the secrctions, turn
the blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the pa

Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a-day
