Many years ago, whilst residing in Phlladcl-
stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dissiputcd, was advised
country. Moorstown, New Jersey, being my ma
tive place, was removed thither. My father
and all MS family had lived ana died thereLand
val was put to bed, where | lay for many
weeks in what was deemed q hopeless c9ndi-
tion. DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his
last illness, was called to see me; lie thought
my case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
and decided that must die and gave me one
week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this
apparently hopeless condition, ! heard of the
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
accumulated and irrtared the different organs
of the body, was eliminated the tuberclcs on
my lungs ripencd, and eNpectorated from my
lungs as much as n pint of yellow offensive mat
ter every morning. AS this eNpectoration Of
matter subsidized the fever abatcd, the pain left
me, the cough ceased To hnrnss me, and the OK
hausting night-swcats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger. My,apprtitc now began to re-
myself from eating too much; with this return
of health, | gained in strength, and now am
neshy. | am now Il healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung ana the lower lobe hepatiLcd with COM
plete adhesion of the pIeurg, The ltft lung Is
II tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption nj that time was thought to he
an incurable disease by every one, physicians
as well as those who were unearned in mcdi-
cinc-cspecially such cases as 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-
SumptiveS forsomc time, and made many Won
derftll 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,
| f,.,t ,la far n
ascertain whether their eases were ike 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.
Forseveral years past have made as many
ms five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respiromcter." For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and 1t enables me to
give each pa patient the r%e "1ndon m OF Ms ms dis
well. The great reason why physicians do not
cure Consumption is, that they try To do too
stop the night sweats, hectic fever, and by so
doing they dernnge the whole digestive system,
locking up the secretions, and eventually the
patient dies
Tho pulmonic syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. II is nutrient, power
fully tonic and healing in itself. II contains no
opium yet looScns the phlegln in the bronch ial
tuhcs, and nature throws II of with little eXcr-
tion. one bottle Frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but IL will be well first to take II dose of
Schcnck' s Mandrallc's Pills TO cleanse the sto-
mach: The PulmonicSyrup Is readily digested
/
healing properties. 1t is one Of the best prepa-
rations ofiron in use; II is powerful tonic OF
itself and when the Scnwecd Tonic dissolyes
the mucus in the stomach, and is carried of by
the mid of the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow OF
gastric Juice, good appetite, ana good digcs-
tion follow.
The Seawecd Tonic is n stlmulant, and none
other is required when II is used. 1t is pure Il
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bour-
bon whisky, which disorders the stomach, tor
pors the liver, locks up all the secrctons, turns
the blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the pa
tient dies suddenly.
| Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-days
by almost every physician. Many patients that
! visit my rooms, both male ana female, are stu
pihcd with this poison. The relief Is temporary
If they cough they take little whisky; If they
| feel weak and feeble they take II little whisky
| If they cannot sleep, they take u little whisky
and they go ON In THIS way, requiring more ant
more until they are blonted up, and imagine
! they are getting tieShy. The stomach, liver unt
digestive powers are completely destroyed, an'
| lose their appetite for food. No one was eve
cavities have been formed In the lungs. \ lit
tie stimulant Is frequently beneficial 10 con
sumptives such as pure brandy or good wine
! IN many eases London porter or brown stout II
moderate quantities; but bourbon whisky has
tens on instead of curing consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and dt,
gestivc sy stem, and enabling IL to eliminate Il
make into healthy blood the food which may
be used for that purpose. II Is SO wonderful II
hearty meal and II little OF IL taken before eat
ing will give Il tone to the stomach which few
medicines possess the power ofdoing.
The Mandrake Pills may be taken with entir,
safety by all ages and conditions producing al
the good results that can be obtained from cal
omel, or any of the mercural medicines am,
without any of their hurttul or injurious re
suits They carry out of the system the feculen
and worn-out matters loOsened and dissolved
by my Seawoed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. i
will be seen that all three OF my medicines arr
needed in most cases to cure Consumption:
