 THE HISTORY bF .DR. sCHENCK'S OWN CASE, AND IbW HE WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION s
 Many years agJ whilst residing in Phiadel- phi;s, had prog tssed gradually into the fast stage of PulmonJy Consum ption. All hopes of my recovery l+ng dissipated, 1 was aivis ed by my physcin, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the countryI Moorcstown. New Jersey, being the place of my nativity, I was removed tEithcr.E My father and all his fa,ni iy had lived and lied there-and died of Pull monary Consumption On my arrival l was put to bed, wherl I lay for many weeks in what was deemeda hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, who hd been my fathers family physician and h;t attended him in his last illness, was calledt see me. He thought my case entirely, beyi md the reach of medicine and decided that must die, and gave me one week to arrange ny temporal affai,s. In this apparently hopelss condition, heard of the remedies which low make and sell. It seen,- cd to me that c|uld feel them working their way, and pen. lrding every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my sxstm.
 My lungs and 1ver put on q new actio |, and the morbid natter which for years had accumulated and Irritatcd the different organs of the body, was eliminate,l, the tubercles on my lungs ripened and I expectorated from my lungs as muc as a pint o yellow otfens- i've matter every morning. As this expecto- ration Uf matter Subsided, the fever abated, the pain left me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhiIlsting night-sweats were no longer known. adi had refreshing sleep, te which had long been a stranger. My appe- ,tc now began to Ieturn, and at times fo Ind it difficult to restHin myself from eating too much with this fturn of health, gained in strength. and now am tieshy. l am now healthy man, witha large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and the low CT lobe hepatized with complete adhesion of the pleura. The Eft lung is sound and the ur,per lobe of the fight one is in d tolerably healthy condition
 Consumption at that time was thought to be an incurable disease by every One,. phySi clans as well as those who were unlearned in medicine-espt ciany such cases as were reduced to the condition was in. This induced many people to believe my recovery only temporary I now prepared and gave the medicines to consumptives for some time, and made many wonderful cures and the demand increased so rapidly, that determined to offer them to the public and devote my undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, 1 was next to forced t., # fr,r fnr far nd near, to ascertain whether theil cases were like mine. ,.....
 For many years, in conjunction with my principal office in Philadelphia 1 have been making regular professional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore, and pittsburg.
 For several years past, l have made as ma ny as five hundred examinations, weekly with the Respirometer For such examination my charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the condition of his dis ease. 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 try to stop the cough, to stop the nightfsweats, hectic fever, and by GO l~i.-es, .A,-f.r-.-s~-ti.e i.e-~lAele sis~sti'o system, locking up the secretions, and eventu- ally the patient dies.
 The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val uable medicines known. It is nutrient, pow erfully tonic and healing in itself It con tains no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and nature throws it off with little exertion one bottle frequently cures an ordinary colo but it will be well first to take a dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and absorbed into blood, to which it. imparts it's healing proper ties It is one ofathe best preparations of iron in use it is powerful tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mucus in the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills, q healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite and q good digestion fol- low. .
 The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none other is required when it is used. It is pure and pleasant no bad effects like when using ach torpors the liver, locks up all the secre- tions, turns the blood into water, dropsy set in, and the patient dies suddenly.
 Bourbon whisky is recommended now-a- days by almost every physician. Many pa tients that visit my rooms, both male and fe- male, are sturifed with this poison. The re- lief is temporary. If they cough, they take a little whisky if they feel weak and feeble, they take alttle whisky; if they cannot sleep, they takea little whisky; and they go on in this way requiring more and more until they are bloatcd up, and imagine they are getting feshy The stomach, liver, and digestive pow CTS are completely destroyed, and lose their appetite for food No one was ever cured of consumption by this process, where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A little stmu- lant is frequently beneficial to consumptives, such as pure brandy or good wines, in many cases, London porter or brown stout in mode rate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens on, instead of curing consumption.
 The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di- geStive system. and enabling it to eliminate and make into healthy blood the food which may be used for that purpose. It is so won derful in it's effects that wine-glass full will digest hearty meal. and little of it taken before breakfast, will give tone to the stom- ach, which few medicines possess the power of doing. t ta
 The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with entire safety by all ages 'and conditions, pro- ducing all the good results that can be obtain ed from calomel, or any of the mercurial med icines, and without any of their hurtful or in furious results They carry out of the system the feculent and wOrn-out matters loosened and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull mopic Syrup. It will be seen that all three of my medicines are needed in most cases to cure
