DIR. sCHENCK's OWN CASE,
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing In Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage OF Put
mnuary Consumption. All hopes OF my recovery
being disspatcd was advised by my physician,
pr Parrish, to remove into tho cOnniry, MooroS.
jown n. j., being my alive place, was removed
hlther. Ny father aud all his family hud lived and
lied therc-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
ON my arrival I was put To bed where l lay for
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condl.
ton Dr. Thornton, who had been my 'ather's fam
lily physician, ard had attended him In his last ILL
ness, was called TO see me. He thought my case en-.
trrcly beyond the reach OF medicine, and decided
that l must die, and gave me one week TO arrange
my temporal affairs, In this apparently hopeless
condition, ! heard OF the remidies now make aud
SELL 1t seemed to me that could feel them work
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre,
and tissue Of my system.
My lungs and liver put on a now action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irritated the different organs of the body, was em
mated, the tubercles on my lungs ripencd and OK
perforated from my lungs as much as pint of yellow
offensive matter every morning. As this expectora-
ton Of matter subsidized the fever ahatcd, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harrass me- and the eX-
haustins night.swcats were no longer known, and l
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been
stranger. My appetite now began to return, and ut
times found 1t difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return OF health, gained In
strength, and am now leshy. am now n healthy
man with a large healed ccatrX in the middle lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatized with
complete adhesion to the pleura. Tho left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is in
tocrably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought TO be an
ncurablc disease by every one, physicians M well as
those unlearned in enthusiastically such cases

cures: and the demand increased rapidly that de-

undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth,

me- far and near, to ascertain whether their cases
were like mine
For many years, in conjunction with my principal
office in Philadelphia have been making regular
professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh.

eter." For such examinations my charge is three
dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the
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, to stop the night swcats
hectic fever, and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, 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 1t contains opium, yot 1t
loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes and ma

Bourbon Whiskey is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male and female, are stupehcd with

one was ever cured of consumption by this process,
