THE HISTORY
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

MANY years ago, whilst residing in Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull
monary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery
being dsspated, was advised by my physician,
Or. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moores.
town N j., being my native place, was removed
hither. My father and all his family had lived and
died tn .re-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my rival l was put to bed, where 1 lay for
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condi-
ton DR.. Thornton, who had been my father's lam
y physician, and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, called to see me. He thought my case en-,
tcreIy 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 the remidies now make and
sell II seemed to me that could feel them work
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre,
and tissue of my system. .. =
MY lungs and liver put on q new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irritated the different organs of the body was em'
mated, tho tubercles on my lungs rpencd, ana ex-
perforated from my lungs as much as apint OF yellow
offensive matter every morning. AS this expectora-
ton of matter subsidized the fever abated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to barrass me-, and the ex.
hausting night-sweats we're no longer known, and
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been a
stranger. My appetite now began to return and ut
times found 1t difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return of health gained IN
strength, and am now feshy. 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 plcura. The left lung Is
sound and the upper lobe of the right one is in q
tolerably healthy condition.
Consur1ption NJ that time was thought 10 be an
ncurable disease by every one, physicians as well as
those unlearned in medicine-especially 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.
sumptives for some time, and made many wonderful
cures: and the demand increased rapidly, that de-
termined to offer them to the 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 whether 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. r.
For many years past, I have made as many as FIVE
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Resprom.
eter." For such examinations my charge is three
dollars, and II 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 u.s. that they try to do too much; they give
medicines stop the cough to stop the night sweat
hectic fever and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valuable
medicines known. It Is nutrient powerfully tonic
and healing in itself 1t contains no opium, yet 1t
loosens the phlegm IN the bronchiai tnoes anu ma
auently cures an ordinary cold; but II will be well
first to take q dose OF Schencks Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach The Pulmonic Syrup Is readily
imparts its healing properties 1t is one of the best
preparations Of iron In use; II is powerful tonic Of
itself and when the Seaweed TOME dssolves the mu
Gus in the stomach, and Is carried of by the aid OF
the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow Of gastric juice
good appetite, and a good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic Is q stimulant, and none other
no bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach torpors the liver locks
IN an the secretions. turns the blood into water
dropsy sets IN, and the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whiskey Is recommended nowadays by
nv rooms, both male and female, are stupefed with
they take little Whisky; IL they feel weak and
feeble' they take a little whisky II they cannot
sleep, they take little whisky; and they go on In
this way requiring more and more, until they are
bloated up and imagine they are getting heshy The
stomach, liver and digestive powers are completely
destroyed and they lose their appetite for food No
one was cured Of consumption BY this process
where cavities have been formed in the lungs.
Httie stimulant 10 frequently beneficial TO consump
tives, such az pure Brandy or good wines-in many
quantities; but Bourbon Whisky hastens on, instead
Of curing consumption.
The sEAwEED TONIC produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and digestive
system and enabling It TO eliminate and make into
purpose II IL wOnde rful in its Effects that wine
taken before breakfast viii give tone 10 the stom
ach which few medicines possesses the power OF do
