DR.. soHxNcK's OWN CASE,
AND H.W He WAS
CURED OF cowsUMpTIoW,

MANY ycarsngo, whilst residing in Philadelphia,
Ilaa progressed gradually into the last stage OF Pu-
monary Consumption. All ho2c1 OF my recovery
being dssipatcd WAS advised 10y my physician,
Dr. Parrish, to remove Into the country, Moorcs-
town n j. being my native place, was removed
thther MY father and all his family had lived and
died thcro-and died Of Pulmonary ConsulnptiGn,- -
On my arrival was put to bed, where lay Tor
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condt-
ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my 'athcrS ram
lily physician, and had attended him III his last Ill
ness was called to see ms. He thought my case en.
tcrciy beyond the reach OF medicine, ana decided
that must die md gave me one week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, / heard of the rcmdes now make aud
SELL 1t seemed to me that could feel them work
ing their way, and penetrating every hcrNci HbIe,
and tissue OF my system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated asd
rrilated the different organs of the body, WAS en-
mated, the tuberces on my lungs ripened, and OK
pectorated from MY lungs az much asa pint OF yellow
offensive matter every morning AS this eApeciorn-
ton Of mettcr subsidized, tho fever ahaed, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to barrass me, and the ex
hnllsting night-sweats were no longer known, and |
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been a
stranger. Aly appetite now began to return, and at
times found it difficult TO restrain lnYself from eat
inc TOO much; with this return OF health, gained in
strength and am now ncshy. | am now n healthy
man with large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe
Of the right lung aud the lower lobe hepatiScd win

sound and the upper lobe of the right one is in Il
toerably healthy condition
Concumption at that time was thought to be an
incurablc disease by every one physicians we'll as

as we're reduced to the condition was in. This III
duced many people to believe my recovery only tent
pory l now prepared and gave medicines to con.
sumptiyes for some time, and made many wonderful
cures; and the demand increased so rapidly that de-
trrmned to offer them to the public, and devote my
undivided attention 10 lung diseases. In truth, l
was next to forced TO it, for people would send for

For many years, in conjunction with my principal
office in Philadelphia, have been making regular
professional visits to New YORK, Boston, baltimore
and Pittsburgh.
For many years past, have made as many as five
hundred examinations weekly With the "Rcspirom.
eter." For such examinations my charge Is three
dollars, and ii enables me TO give each patient INC
true condition of his disease, and tell him frankly
whether he will get we'll
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumption is, that they try to do too much; they give
medicines to stop the cough, tostop heniGht sweatE'
hectic fever and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies.
The puimouic Syrup is one OF the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
