THE HISTORY OF Dr.. SCHENCK's OWN CASE
AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION
Many years ago, whilst residing in Phihdel-
phia, l had progressed gradually into the last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being dssipated, was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, to remove into
the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being
my native place, was removed theither. MY
father and all his family had lived and died
there-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my arrival | was put TO bed, where l lay
for many weeks IN what was deemed hopeless
condition. 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 1 must die, and
gave me one week to arrange my temporal
affairs In this appearantly hopeless condition,
1 heard of the remedies which now make and
sell 1t tseemed to me that l could feel them
working their way, and penetrating every nerve,
| fibre, and tissue of my system.
My lungs and liver put on a new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accum-
ulated and irritated the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles of my lungs
ripened, and expectorated from my lungs as
much as pint of yellow offensive matter every
morning. As this expectoration of matter sub
sided, the fever abated, the pain left me, the
cough ceased to harrass me, and the exhausting
night-sweets were no longer known, and I had
refreshing sleep, to which | had long been a
stranger. My appetite now began to return,
and at times found it difficult to restrain nv
self from eating too much; with this return OF
health, / gained in strength, and now am fieshy.
/ am now healthy man, with large healed
cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right lung and
the lower lobe hepatized with complete sdhe-
sion 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 was thought to be
an incurable disease, by every one, physicians
| as well as those who were uDlearned in medi-
cine-especially such cases as were reduced to
| the condition l was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temporary.
| / now prepared and gave the medicine to con-
sumptives for some time, and made many won
derful cures; and the demands increased so rsp-
| idly that determined to offer them TO the pub
| lie, and devote my undivided attention to lung
diseases 20 In truth l was next to forced to If,
for people wound send for me far and near, to
ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with nv
principal office in Philadelphia, I have been
making regular professional visits to New York,
Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburg.
For several years past 1 have made as many
| as five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respirometer." For such examination 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 viii get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try to do too much;
they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop
the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive system, lock-
ing up the secTetiOns and eventually the patient
dies.
| The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val =
liable medicines known. tt nutrient. pover-
fully tonic, and healing in itself. 1t contains
no opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronch-
ial tubes and nature throws it off with little ex-
ertion. One bottle frequently cures an Ordin-
ary cold; but it will be well first to take dose
of Schenck's Mandrakes Pills to cleanse the
stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily d.
gested and absorbed into blood to which it i'm
parts its healing properties. 1t is one of the
best preparations Of iron in use; it is powerful
tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic
dissolves themucus in the stomach, and is car
ried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills,
healthy flow of gastric juice, good appetite and
good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none
other is required when it is used It is pure
and pleasant; no bad effects like when using
Bourbon whisky, which disorders the stomach,
torpefs the liver, locks up all the secretions,
turns the blood into water, dropsy sets ID, and
the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whiskey is recommended nOw-a-
days by almost every physician. Many patients
that visit my rooms, both male and female are
/ stupefed with this poison. The relief is tenn
| porary. If they cough they take little whis-
XIV; if they feel weak and feeble they take a
little whisky; if they cannot sleep they take a
little whisky; and they go on in this way, re-
quiring more and more until they are bloated
up, and imagine they are getting feshy. The
stomach, liver and digestive powers are COM
pletelY destroyed, and slose their appetite for
food. No one was ever cured of consumption
by this process, where cavities have been form
ed in the lungs. A little stimulsnt is frequent
ly beneficial to consumptiyes such as pure
brandy or good wines; in many cases London
porter or brown stout in moderate Qualities; but
Bourbon whiskey hastens on instead Of curing
consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-
gestive system. and enabling it to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose II is so wonderful in
its effects that wineglass full VIII digest a
hearty meal, and little of it taken before
breakfast will give tone to the stomach which
few medicines possess the power of doing.
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken
with entire safety by all ages and conditions,
producing all the good results that can be OBJ
tained from cslomel, or any of the mercurial
medicines, ard without any of their hurtful or
injurious results. They carry out of the sys-
tenn the feculent and wOrn-out matters loOsened
and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull
mopic Syrup. 1t viii be seen that all three of
my medicines are needed in most cases to cure
Consumption.
