DIR. SCHENCK'S OWN CAS-
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing In Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage of
Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes Of my rccoye-
~ being dissipated, was advised by my physician
| Dr. Parrish, to remove into the country. Mo0res-
town n J.. being my native place, / was removed
thther My father and all his family had lived and
died there-and died of Pulonary Consumption.
On my arrival was put to bed, where / lay for
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless
| diton. DIR Thornton who had been my fathers
family physician aud had attended him in his last
illness, was called to see lie thought my
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 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 accumulated and
rriated the different organs of the body, elm.
| mated, the tubercles on my lungs Iipened, and
expectorated from my lungs as much rs pint OF
yellow offensive matter every morning As this ex-
pectoratiOl of matter subsidized, the fever abated
the pain left the cough ceased to harass me- and
the eNhansting night.sweats no longer known
and had refreshing sleep 20 which had long been
a stranger. My appetite now began to return and
at times found it diicrt to restrain myself from
eating too much; with this return of health; gain.
ed in strength, and now am heshy. / am now q
healthy man with large healed eicatrix in the mid.
die lobe of the right lung and the lower lobe hepa.
tised with complete adhesion of the pleura. The
left lung il sound. and the upper lobe of the right
one is in toleraby healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be an
incurabe disease, by every one physician as well
ms those who were unearned in medicine-espeeial.
y such cases were reduced to the condition was
IN. This induced many people to believe my rec0v-
cry only temporary. now prepared and gave
medicines to consumptiyes for some time, and made
many wonderful cures and the demand increased
rapidly that determined 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 and near to ascertain
whether their like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my princi
pal Office in Philadelphia, have been making reg.
UIla Via IN I.lss
more and Pittsburg.
For many years past have made as many as five
hundred examinations, weekly, with the "Respi-
rOmetor." For such examinations my charge 10
three dollars and it enables to give each patient
the true condition of his disease and tell him frank.
Tho great reason why physicians do not cure Con.
sumption is that they try to do too much; they give
medicines to stop the cough, to stop the nigLt
sweats hectic fever, and by so doing they derailge
the whole digestive system, locking up the secre
tons, and eventually the patient dies
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient powerfully tonic
and healing In itself II contains opium, yet it
ture throws 1t OFT with little exerton; one bottle
frequently cures an ordinary cold but it will be
well first to take dose of Scheneks Mandrake pills
to cleanse the stomach. The Pulnonic Syrun Il
readily digested and absorbed into the hiooJ In
which 1t imparts its healing properties 1t ia one
of the best preparations OF iron in use; 1t Is a now
erful tonic of itself and when the Seaweed Tonic
dissolves the mucns in the stomach, and Is carried
off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills a healthy flow
OF gastric juice, good appetite and good digestion
follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stmulant and none other
is required when II ia used 1t is pure and pleasant;
no bad effects like when using Bourbon whisky
which disorders the stomach, tOrpOrs the liver
locks up all the secretiOns turns the blood into
water dropsy sets in and the patient dies suddenly
Bourbon Whisky il recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that VISIT
my rooms, both male and female are supplied with
this poison. The relief is temporary. If they
cough, they take little whisky; II they feel week
aud feeble they take little whisky If they cannot
sleep they take little whisky; and they 20 on in
this way enquiring more and more, until they are
bloated up and imagine they getting ieshy. The
stomach liver, and digestive powers are completely
destroyed, and they lose their appetite fUr fool.
No one was ever cured of Consumption ly this pro-
cess, where cavities have been formed in the lungs
little stimuant il frequently beneficial to con-
sumptves, such pure brandy or good wines-in
Iaany cases. London porter or brown stout in mod
crate quantities but Bourbon whisky hastens on,
instead Of curing Consumption.
The SEA WEED TONIC produces lasting re-
suits thoroughly invigoratng the stomach and d-
gestive system, and enabling Il to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be used
for that purpose. 1t is wonderful In its efeets
that wine glass full viii digest hearty meal and
little of it taken before breakfast will give tone
to the stomach which few medicines possess the
power Of doing. a4
