Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage Of Pull
monary Consumption. All hopes of my recover,
being dsspated, was advised by my physician
Dr. Parrish, to remove into the coantry Moores
town N. j., being my native place, / was removed
thither. My father and all his family had lived ant
died there-and died of Pulmonary Consumption. =
On my trivial l was put to bed, where l lay fol
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless cond
ton Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers fam
lily physician, and had attended him in his last i'll
ness, was called to SEQ me. He thought my en-.
tcrely beyond the reach Of medicine, and decided
that must die, and gave me ono week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless

MY lungs and liver put on a new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irrated the different organs of the body. elimi
mated, the tubercles on my lungs rpened, and ex.
perforated from my lungs as much as pint of yellow
ton of matter subsidized, the fever abated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harrass me, and tho
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 at
times found 1t difficult to restrain myself from eat.
ing too much with this return OF health gained In
strength, and am now neshy. am now healthy
with large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepaized with
complete adhesion to the pleura. Tho left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe of the right ono is in q

| Consumption at that time was thought to be an
ncurable disease by every one, physicians well as
| those unlearned In medicne-especialy such cases
as were reduced to the condition was in. This in
pory. 1 now prepared and gave medicines to
sumptives for some time, and made many wonderful
cures; and the demand increased 50 rapidly that de-
termned to offer them to the public, and devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, I
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.
For many years past have made rs many az five
hundred examinations weekly with the "Respirom.
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 is that they try to do too much they give
hectic fever, and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually tho patient dies.
The Pumonic Syrup is one of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient powerfully tonic
and healing in ITSELF 1t contains no opium, yot it
loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and
ture throws it of with little exeron; bottle fire.
quently ordinary cold; but 1t will be we'll
first to take dose of Schencks Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonc Syrup is readily
digested and absorbed into the blood, to which 1t
imparts its healing properties. 1t Is of the best
preparations of iron in use; 1t is powerful tonic of
itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissoves The 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 stimulant, and none other
is required when it is used 1t is pure and pleasant
no bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach torpors the liver locks
up all the secretions, turns the blood into water,
dropsy sets In, and the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon Whiskey is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male and female, stupefed with
this poison. The reliefs temporary. If they cough,
they take little Whiskey; if they feel weak and
feeble, they take little Whisky If they cannot
sleep, they take little Whisky; and they go on in
this way requiring more and more, until they are
boated up and Imagine they getting 1eshy The
stomach, liver and digestive powers 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 stmulant is frequently beneficial to consump-
tives such pure Brandy or good Wipes-in many
cases London Porter or Brown Stout, In moderate
quantities; but Bourbon Whisky hastens on, ms
of curing consumption.
The SEAWEED TONIC produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach aud digestive
system, and enabling it to eliminate and make into
healthy blood the food which may bs used for that
purpose 1t Is wonde rful in Its effects that vino
glass full will digest hearty NEAL and litte of IL
taken before break fast will give tone to the stom
ach which few medicines possesses the power OF do.
