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

MANY yenrs ago. whilst residing in Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage OF Pni
monary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery
being disspated, was advised by my physician
Dr. Parrish. TO remove into the coaniry Moores
town n. j., being my native place, was removed
,hither NY father and all his family had lived and
died thtre-and died Of Pulmonary Consumption: -
On my arrival was put to bed, where l lay Tor
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condi'
ton. DR.. Thornton, who hnd been my faiher lam
iy physician, and had attended him in his last ill
ness was called to see me. He thought my case en-.
tcrey beyond the reach OF medicine, and decided
that / must die. and gave me one week TO arrange
NV temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, heard of tho rcmidics now make aud
sell. II seemed to me that could feel them work
ing their way, aud penetrating every nerve, hbre
and tissue Of my system. H..
NV lungs and liver put on n new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
rriiated the different organs OF the body was elini
mated, the tuberclcs on my lungs ripcn"d, and ex
perforated from my lungs as much AS pint OF yeito"
offensive matter every morning As this expectora
ton of matter subsidized. the fever ahated and pain
left me. the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex
hausting night-sweats were no longer known, ana
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been
stranger My appetite now began to return and al
times found It difficult to restrain myself IRON eat

strength, and am now feshy. am now ahsaithy

Consnmption at that time was thought TO be ar
ncurabedisease by every one, PHYSICIANS as well al
those unlearned in medcino--especially such cases
as were reduced to the condition was in. This in
duced many people TO believe my recovery only rem

cures and the demand increased so rapidly, that de
crmined to offer them 10 the public, and devote my
undivided attention to lung Diseases In truth,
was next forced to it, for people would send foi
me, far and near, to ascertain whether their casei
were Ike mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my principa
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
cter" For such examinations my charge is three
dollars and Il enables me TO give each patient th'
true condition Of his disease and tell him frankl,
whether he will get well.
