THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHRNCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.


CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philadel.
phia, had progressed gradually into the last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of !
my recovery being dis'ipated, was advised by
my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither. My father
and all his family had lived and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val l was put to bed, where l lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition
DIR. Thornton, Who had been my fathers family
ply sGlan, and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, was called to me. He thought my case
entirely beyond the 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 now make and sell. Ii 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 new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and rritat,d the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
my lung ripened, and 1 eXpectorated from
my lungs much pint OF yellow offensive
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex-
hausting night sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
beena stranger. Ny appetite now began to re-
turn, and at times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health gained in strength, and now am
feshy. 1 am now a healthy man, with large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion of the pleura The left 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 incurable disease by every one, physicians as
| well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were reduced to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
| ieve my recovery only temporary. / now pre-
| pared and gave the medicines to consumptives
for some time, and made many wonderful cures;
| and the demand increased SO rapidly that 1 de-
termined to offer them to the public, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far aud near, to ascertain whether
! their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
cipal office in Philadelphia, have been making
| Baltimore and Pittsburg.
For several years past l have made as many
as five hundred examinations, weekly with the
"Respirometer.n For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables to give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
and tell him frankly whether he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try to do too much;
they give medicines to stop the cough to stop the
night-sweats, hectic fever, and by SO doing they
derange the whole digestive system, locking up
the secretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains nc
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first TO take dose of
Schenek's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and abb
sorbed into blood, to which it mparts its healing
properties 1t is one of the best prepaI atoms of
iron in use; it is powerful tonic Of itself; and
when the Seaweed Tonic dissolyes the mucus in
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the
Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none
other is required when it is used. 1t is pure and
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor
the liver, locks up all the secretons, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended now a-days
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi.
fed with this poison. The relief is temporary
If they cough, they take little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky
if they cannot sleep, they take a little whisky
and they go on in this way requiring more and
mere until they are bloated up, and imagine
they are getting feshy. The stomach, liver, ant
digestive powers are completely destroyed, anG
lose their appetite for food. No one was eyel
cured of consumption by this process, whert
cavaties have been formed in the lungs. A littlt
r stimulant is frequently beneficial to comsump
tiYes, such as pure brandy or good wines, il
{ many cases London porter or brown stout il
) moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
f ems on, instead of curing consumption.
l The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and diges
tive system, and enabling it to eliminate AM
make into healthy blood the food which may b
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in it
effects that a wine glass full will digest heart,
meal, and little of it taken before breakfas
will give tone to the stomach which few medi
oines possess the power of doing
8 The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken Will
! entire safety by all ages and conditions, produc
J, ing all the good results that can be obtaine
from calomel, or any of the mercurial medicine
and without any of their hurtiul or injurious re
. suits. They carry out of the system the fsculen
and worn out matters loosened and dissolved b,
; my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonio Syrup. /
d will be seen that all three of my medicines ar
a needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
