DIR. SCHENCK'S OWN CASE,
AND HOW HE WAS
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago whilst residing in Philadelphia.
| had progressed gradually into the last stage OF
Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes of MY recove
ry being dissipated, was advised by my physician
DIR. Parrish, to remove into the country Moores
town, n. j.. being my native place, l was removed
thither My father and all his family had lVed ana
died there-and died of PulOnary Consumption
On my arrival was put to bed, where L lay Tor
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless con
dition. DR.. Thornton, who had been my fathers
family physician, and had attended him in his last
illness, was called to see me- He thought my case
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 / nov
make and sell. 1t seemed to me that coula 1eel

nerve, fibre, and tissue otmy system

mated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened and j
expectorated from my lungs as much as a pint OF
yellow offensive matter every morning AS this eX'
pectOratiOn of matter subsidized, the fever abated
the pain left me, the cough ceased to arass me- and
the eXhausting night-sweats were no longer known
and had refreshing sleep 10 which had long been
stranger, Ny appetite now began to return, and
at times found il difficult to restrain myself from
eating too much; with this return of health; gain
ed in strength, and now am fleshy. L am now a
healthy man with large healed cicatrix in the mid
die lobe of the right lung and the lower lobe hepa-
tised with complete adhesion of the pleura. The
left lung is sound and the upper lobe of the right
one is in tOlerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time thought to be an
incurable disease, by every one, physician well
as those who were unIearned in medicine-especial-
ly such cases were reduced to the condition
in This induced many people to believe my recOv
cry only temporary. 1 now prepared and gave
medicines to consumptives 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 cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with nay princ

ular professional visits to New York, Boston, Balt
more and Pittsburg.
For many years past, have made many as five
hundred examinations, weekly, with the ''Respi-
rometor:" For such examinations my charge is
three dollars and it enables me to give each patient

sweats, hectic fever, and by doing they derange
the whole digestive system locking up the secre-

The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient powerfully tonic
and healing in itself 1t contains no opium, yet it

follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none other
s required when it is used. 1t is pure and pleasant

The SEA WEED TONIC produces lasting re-

make into healthy blood the food which may be used
or that purpose. 1t is wonderful in its effects

little of it taken before breakfast will give a tone

lower of doing.
