READ WHAT DR.. SCHENCK is DOING.
DR.. J. H. SCHENCK.

DEAR Sir Il feel it Il duty owe to YOU, and
to all who are suffering under the disease known
rs Consumption and Liver COMPLAINT. to let
them know what great benefits | have received
from your Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic
in so short time. BY the blessing of God it
has cured me thus far.
DR.. Schenck, | vii! now make my statement
to you, as follows About eighteen months ago
| was attacked with severe cough, and it set
tied on my lungs could not retain anything
ate, and suffered with evening tevers and night
sweats. | was very much reduced The whites
of my eyes we've very yellow; likewise my skin ;
my appetite all gone, and uuable TO digest what
did eat; bowels swollen, irregular and costive.
was very low spirited, and had such violent
spells of coughing when laid down at night
and when | arose in the morning that they
would last one or two hours.
then would be nearly exhausted, and was en-
tirely unable to lie on my left side. ] cannot de-
scribe my wretched suffering rs would wish to
do. Every organ in my body was diseased or de-
| ranged. Such was my situation At this time and
| was confined to my bed from the last of Fehrua-
ry, 1852, to June, 1862, not able to sit up. |
had the best of medical attendance the whole
of the time. My cough was so very bad that it
| rackcd me very much. at this time raised n
large quantity Of thick, yellow, offensive matter,
sometimes with blood, and it was generally ac-
companied by nausea and fnrred and thick
coated tongue. At the time Of coughing So bad
| ~ would have sharp, shooting pains in my
left side aud heart night swcats, and soreness
all through my whole chest had much inward
| fever pain in my back and under my shoulder
blades and in the small OF my back, ard At times
so severe that it would throw me into spasms.-
| Now my physician gave me up to die. Others,
| had, and the best If them, out they could do
| nothing for me- and that time was nothing but
in ~, | tl,., ,l,n to, al
Of Missouri. In June last we left there for the
East and IN August last We came to New York,
and WAS SO reduced that | could only walk II
| little with my husband help. After had been
| here short time the salt water breeze made me
feel much better for Il time and then had again
to call physician for aid. We had four Of the
best physicions Of New York ON the diseases
of the lungs, and doctors of all kinds,
/ but of no avail. They said / was pasl
cure, and that my lungs were too Tar gone for
any one TO cure me. But at Ethis tine was On
my feet about the house, not able TO do much of
any thing. In November last grew worse and
the consumption diNrrhea set in and lasted about
eight weeks. We had tried all and evcryhing
that could grasp at like dying person for my
diseases-cOnsumpto and liver compant-but
ofno avail.
In January, 1868, was brought down on my
bed, and was not expected to live the night out.
My husband stayed at my side, and other
friends, and they all give me up 10 die. At this
time every one who saw me did not think
would ever leave my bed a living woman The
first night was attacked with spasms, and was
derangcd most Of the time. A friend Mrs. Har-
ris came to see me the last of the week, and
brought the Sunday Mercury. In it was an ac-
count OF Il great cure performed by Dr. SChenck.
She read it to me, and it was as much like my
disease that asked my husband TO go and see
him for me. AT this time / had given up all
hopes of ever getting well again, and made my
peace with God, to be ready whenever He called
| for me.
On the 9th of January, 1869, my husband
called on DR.. Schenck, 80 Bond street. New
York, and stated to him my case, with a request
for him TO call and see me, which he did, and
examined me with the respirometer. When he
was about to 60 asked him if he could cure me?
His reply was: 81 cannot tell both lungs are
diseased, and the bronchial tubes are affected on
both sdes.' And yet he seemed to think there
were lungs enough left to effect cure, if the di-
arrhea could be stopped. lie said in order TO do
this he would give me Mandrake Pills in small
doses at first, to carry off the morbid matter,
and then, with asringents, he hoped to check
| it, which he did, but the constant coughing,
| night sweats, and diarrhea had Frustrated me so
! that he was afraid my vital powers were too
much Frustrated ever TO rally, and yet he seem
ed to think if | could live to get enough Pulmo-
me Syrup through my system to cause eypeco-
ration there were lungs enough left for me to re-
cover He wished me to try the Pumonc Sy-
rup and Seawecd Tonic at once, saying it would
do me no harm, lift did me no good: The first
week it seemed to give me strength, so that on
Sunday after sat up in bed and ate hearty for
sick woman but the next week lest all hope
and wished my husband not to give me any more

this, and when the medicine was clearing out the
system it made them feel somewhat restless, and
to persevere; ard be insisted on my taking it :;
and now feel the benefit of it. For after eight
days began to gain my strength, and with the
exception Of cold that put me back some,
have been gaining strength of body, my cough
is going away, and all my pains are gone; no
soreness of the body, my bowels are regular, and
my breath Is sweet and thank God that am
now going about, and sew and read as well as
ever could. have taken sixteen bottles of the
medicine, eight Of each. ] now have a good APP
petite and rest we'll at night; my cough does
not trouble me in getting up or lying down. |
