Many year. ago, whilst residing In Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage Of Pull
monary Consumption. All hopes OF my recovery
being dissipated, was advised by my physician,
DR.. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moorss.
town N. j., being my native place, was removed
thither. My father and all his family had lived and
died th.rc-and died OF Pulmonary Consumption
On my srriyal was put to bed, wherc 1 lay for
many weeks IN what was deemed u hopeless condi.
tion. DR.. Thornton, who had been my 'athors fam.
lily physician, and had attended him In his last Ill
ness, called to see me. He thought my case en-:
tcrely 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 tho rcmidics now make and
sell. 1t seemed to me that could feel them work.
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, nDre,
and tissue OF my system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
rritated the different organs OF the body was elimi'
mated, the tuberccs on my lungs ripened, and OK
perforated from my lungs as much pint OF yellow
offensive matter every morning. As this expectora.
ton OF matter subsidized, the foyer abated and pain
loft me- the cough ceased to harrass me- and the OK.
hausting night.sweats were no longer known and l
had refreshing sleep, to which l had long been
stranger. My appetite now began to return, and at
times found it difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much with this return OF health, gained In
strength and am now heshy. l am now healthy
man with large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe
Of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatized with
complete adhesion to the peura. The left lung Is
tolerQbly healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to DO an
ncurablc disease by every one physicians as we'll rs
those unlearncd in medicinc-espcciaIly such cases
as were reduced to the condition was in. This in
duced many people to believe my recovery only tenn
pory ] now prepared and gave medicines to con-
sumptiyes for some time, and made many wonderful
cures: and the demand increased rapidly, that de-
termned to offer them to tho public and devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, l
was next to forced to it, for people would send for
me- far and near, to ascertain Whetner 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.
For many Years past, have made as many as Ave
hundred examinations weekly with the "Respirom-
etcr" For such examinations my charge is three
dollars and 1t 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 sweas,
hectic fover and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is ono of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
and healing in itself 1t contains no opium, yet it
looscns the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and ma.
ture throws it off with little exertion one bottle fro
frst to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to
cleanse tho stomach. Tho Pulmonic Syrup Is readily
dirested and absorbed into tho blood, to which It
imparts its healing properties It's one of the best
preparations of iron In use il is powerful tonic Of
itself and when the Seawced TOME dssolves he mu-
Gus In the stomach and is carried off by the aid of
the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric Juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimuant and mono other
is required when 1t is used 1t pure and pleasant,
no bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach torpors the liver locks
up all the secretions, turns tho blood into water,
dropsy sets in, and the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon Whiskey is recommended nova. days by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male and female, arc stupefed with
this poison The reliefis temporary. Ifthey cough,
they take little Whiskey; II they feel weak and
feeble they take a little Whisky; II they cannot
sleep, they take little Whisky; and they go In
this way requiring more and more, until they are
bloated up and imagine they are getting 1eshy. The
stomach, liver and digestive powers arc completely
DESTROYED and they lose their appetite for food No
one was ever cured of consumption by this process
where cavities have been formed In the lungs. A
little stimulant is frequently beneficial to consump
tives, such as pure Brandy or good Wines-in many
cases London Porter or Brown Stout in moderate
quantities; but Bourbon Whisky hastcns on, instead
OF curing consumption.
The SEAWEED TONIC produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating tho stomach and digestive
system, and enabling il to eliminate and make into
healthy blood the food which may be used for that
purpose II Is wonderful In Its effects that wine
glass full will digest hearty meal and little Of 1t
taken before break fast will give tone to the stom
aoh which few medicines possesses the power OF do.
