READ WHAT DR.. SCHENcK is DOING.
DR.. j. Fl. SCHENCK.

to all who are suffering under the disease known
MS Consumption and Liver Complaint TO let
them know what great benefits | have received
from your Pulmonic Syrup and Scaweed Tonic
in so short time. BY the blessing of God it
has cured me thus far.
DR.. Schenck ! will now make my statement
to you, AS follows About eighteen months ago
] was attacked with severe cough, and it set
tied on my lungs; could not retain anything
! ate, and suffered with evening fevers and night
sweats. | was very mach reduced. The whites
of my eyes were very yellow; likewise my skin
my appetite all gone, and UNABLE to digest what
| did eat bowels sw olleu, irregular and costive
] was very low spirited, and had such violent
spells of coughing when ! laid down at night
and when | arose in the morning that they
would last one or two hours.
then would be nearly exhausted, and was en-
tircly unable TO lie on my left side. ! cannot de-
scribe my wretched suffering as would wish to
do. Every organ in my body was diseased or de-
ranged. Such WAS my situation at this time, and
! was confined to my bed from the last of Fehrua-
ry, 1862, to June, 1862, not able to sit up. /
had the best of medical attendance the whole
OF the time. My cough was so very bad that it
racked me very much. | at this time raised
large quantity of thick, yellow, offensive matter,
sometimes with blood, and it was generally ac-
companied by nausea and furred and thick
coated tongue. At the time of coughing So bad
~ would have sharp, shooting pains in my
left side and heart night sweats, and soreness
all through my whole chest had much inward
fever pain in my back and under my shoulder
blades and in the small of my back, and at times
so severe that it would throw me into spasms-
Now my physician gave me up to die. Others,
| had, and the best of them, but they could do
nothing for me, and that time was nothing but
skin and bones then was in the we.tern part
n Missouri In I'M lu.t 1att hos G., H.
East, and in August last we came to New York,
and was so reduced that could only walk
little with my husband help. After bad been
here short time the salt water breeze made me
feel much better for time and then had again
to call physician for aid. We had four of the
best physicians of New York on the diseases
of the lungs, and doctors of all kinds,
but of no avail. They said was past
cure, and that my lungs were too far gore for
any one to cure me- But at this time was on
my feet about the house, not able to do much of
anything. In November last grew worse, and
the consumption diarrhea set in and lasted about
eight weeks. We had tried all and everything
that | could grasp at like q dying person tor my
diseases-consumption and liver complaint-but
ofno avail.
In January, 1863, was brought down on my
bed, and was not expected TO live the night out.
My husband stayed at my side and other
friends. and they all give me up to die At this
time every one who saw me did not think |
would ever leave my bed living woman The
first night was attacked with spasms, and was
deranged most of the time. A friend Mrs Har-
riS came to see me the last of the week, and
brought the Sunday Mercury. In it was an ac-
count of great cure performed by DR.. Schenck
She read it to me, and it was as much like my
disease that l asked my husband to 90 and see
him forme. At this time had given up oil
hopes Of ever getting well again, and made my
peace with God to be ready whenever He called
for me. -..."
On the 9th of January, 1868, my husband
called on DR.. Schenck, 80 Bond street New
York, and stated to him my case, with request
for him to call and see me, which he did, and
examined me with the respiromeer. When he
was about to 90 ] asked him if he could cure me?
His reply was 81 cannot tell, both lungs are
diseased, and the bronchial tubes are affected on
both Sides And vet he seemed to think there
were lungs enough left to effect cure, if the d.
arrhea could be stopped. He said in order to do
this, he would give me Mandrake Pills in small
doses at first, to carry off the morbid matter,
and then, with astringents, he hoped to check
it, which he did, but the constant coughing,
night sweats, and diarrhca had Frustrated me so
that he was afraid my vital powers were too
much Frustrated ever to rally, and yet he SEEM
ed to think if could live to get enough Pulmo-
mic Syrup through my system to cause expecto-
ration there were lungs enough left for me to re-
cover. He wished me TO try the Pulmonic Sy-
rup and Seaweed Tonic at once, saying it would
do me no harm, if it did me no good The first
week it seemed TO give me strength, so that on
Sunday after ! sat up in bed and ate hearty for
sick woman but the next week lost all hope
and wished my husband not to give me any more
medicine. But the doctor had warned him of
this, and when the medicine was clearing out the
system it made them feel somewhat restless and
to persevere and he insisted on my taking it,
and now feel the benefit Of it. For after eight
days began TO gain my strength and with the
exception of IL cold that put me back some, |
have been gaining strength of body my cough
is going away, and all my pains are gone; no
soreness Of the body, my bowels are regular, and
my breath is sweet, and | thank God that am
now going about, and sew and read as we'll as
ever could. have taken sixteen bottles of the
medicine, eight of each. now have good APP
petite and rest well at night; my cough does
not trouble me in getting up or lying down. l
would here say to the afflicted with consumption
or liver complaint, that DR.. Schenck is no hum
bug. You can rely on what he says. Delay
not; it is dangerous to trifle with these diseases.
If we would be cured, go at once; and any one
