''''N
Many years ago, whilst residing in PhiIadei-
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
Stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dissipated. was advised
by my physician, Dr. Parrish, to remove into the
country. Moorstown, NcwJerscy, being my nat
tive place, | was removed thither. My father
and all his family had lived and died thcre-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. ON my arr-
weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condi-
ton Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician and had attended him in his
last Illness, was called to see me. He 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
remedies which now make and sell. 1t seeni-
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 new action, and
the morbid matter which for many years had
accumulated and irrtated the diff rent organs
of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles on
my lungs ripcned, and cXpcctoratcd from my
lungs as much ms a pint yellow offensive mat

me, the cough ceased to harass me, and the cX-

regular professional visits to New York, Boston
| Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past have made as nlappy
as five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respiromctcr." For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it cna,ies me to
ease, and tell him frankly whethcr he will get
well. The great reason why physicians do not
much; they give medicine to stop the cough, to

patient dies.
Tho Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
a',ie medicines known. 1t is nutrient, power
fully tonic, and healing in itself. It contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
tion. One bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be wen first to take dose of
Schencl's Mandrakes Pills to cleanse the sto-
mach; The Pulmonic syrup is readily digested
and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts its
healing properties. 1t is one of the best prepa-
