IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK,
Of highly respectable citizen, well know to the

DIR. j. H: SCHENCK,
THE GREAT LUNG DOCTOR OF pHILADEL-
PHIA.
OFEICE N. Y. AND GALENA LEAD Co.,
No. 20 Nassau ST., New York,
June l, 1865.
DIR. J. II. oHENcK-Dear Sir:-For over if- :
teen years have been troubled with a severe
cough, and usually two Or three times year
with more or less hemorrhage, which together for
the last few years, has kept me thin in flesh and
too weak 20 do business ofany kind without suf-
fering. In August last | had very severe lem
orrhage, and; according to the judgment of a
good New York physician, l was classed as be-
yond the reach Of medicine, and was advised to
be prepared, so far as property matters were con-
cerned, to leave this world at short notice. The
physician land my good friends) said that the
first cold took must prove fatal. Early in jan
airy took a severe cold, and fortunately was oc-
cupying rooms at No. 80 BOND STREET, d.
rectly over your office. | think about the 10th
of January procured n bottle of your Pulmonlc
Syrup and commenced taking it freely Nv feet
and limbs were very much swollen, and all the
symstoms of n speedy death seemed to accompa-
ny my cold. | sent for my former physician,
and stated to him that was taking your medi-
cines, and after showing them to him, and hav-
| ing tasted of them, &c, he replied; ''Iou can
take them if you like, they will do you no harm"
He said: "You know what told you last sum-
uer, and say the same now, if you have any
business to close up do not put it off !" He said
| to other friends that he "could see no hone for
me, ;" and my friends and relations concluded my
time had come. At this time was'taking freely
! of your medicine, but had not seen you. The
doctor called few times, aud found me (much
to his surprise, he said) improving, and could
not understand why. My faith was increasing
in your medicines, and had wish to have yon
examine my case, and see what you had TO say.
When you first came to my room and made the
examination, you gave me but little encourage
ment but on the contrary, expressed sad doubts
of my ever being helped out of my then seeming
difficulties The second time that you called
finding me still gaining, you gave me encour-
agement, saying, "ny symptoms were imTrov-
ing the Pulmonic Syrup, Sea-weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills had acted like n charm."-
My circulation, my cough, my appetite all began
to improve, and | could walk about my room a
little. You visited me nearly every Tuesday,
and found ire improving, and told me not to 60
out Of my room until the first of May. | took no
cold while under your treatment, my appetite
became frst-rate, and you told me to eat every
thing wished of a nutritious nature, and to ex-
ercise about the room as much as possible I fol-
lowed your advice and to the surprise of my old
physician and friends, seem much better than
have been for several years, and breathe better
than ever expected u person could with one
lung, the left, being completely dried up. ] feel
very grateful TO you, and consider your advice
and medicines invaluable.
Yours, truly,
