CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing In Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage OF Pnl'
nonary Consumption. All hopes Of my recovery
being disslpated, was advised by my physician,
DIR. Parrish, to remove into tho eoantry, Moorrs.

died th,re-and died OF Pulmonary Consumption
On my srrival l was put TO bed, whore ] lay for
many weeks In what was deemed hopeless condl'
ton. DR.. Thornton, who had been my Nther's lam
lily physician, and had attended him In his last Ill
ness was called TO sec me. He thought my case en-.
tcrcly beyond the reach OF medicine, aud decided
that must die, and gave me one week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, heard of the remides ] now make and
sell. II seemed to me that could feel them work.
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, hbrc,
and tissue OF my system.
My lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
rritated the different organs OF the body was elimi'
mated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and eS'
perforated from my lungs much as pint OF yellow
offensive matter every morning. As this eNpectora'
ton of matter subsidized the fever ahated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harrass me, and the
hausting night .sweats were no longer known, and
had refreshng.slecp, to which had long been q
stranger. My appetite now began to return, and at
times found II difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return OF health, gained in
strength, and am now feshy am now a b salthy
man with large healed cicarlx In the middle lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatzcd with
complete adhesion to the plenra. The LETT lung ID
sound aud the upper lobe Of the right one is In a
tolerably healthy condition.
CONSUMPTION at that time was thought to be an
ncurabe disease by every one physicians as well rs
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.
sumptiyes 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, i
was next to forced to It, for people would send Tor
me, far and near, to ascertain whether their cases
were like NINE 49,.
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, I have made as many five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Respirom'
eter" For such examinations my charge is three
dollars, and 1t enables me TO give each patient The
true condition of his disease, and tell MIN frankly
whether he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumption Is, that they try TO do too much they give
medicines to stop the cough, stop the night 'weats,
hectic fever, and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies ..,
The Pulmonc Syrup is one of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
and healing In itself. 1t contaus opium, yet 1t
oosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and ma
ture throws it of with little exertion; bottle fire.
quently cures an ordinary cod but II will be well
first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach. The Pumonic Syrup is readily
digested and absorbed into the blood, to which 1t
mparts it's healing properties 1t is ono Of the best
preparation of iron in nse it lisa powerful tonic oil
ITSELF and when the Seaweed Tonic dissoves 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 n good digestion follow.
Tho Seaweed Tonic Is stmulant, and none other
Is required when 1t is used 1t pure and pleasant,
no bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach torpors the liver locks
up all the secretons, turns tho blood into water,
dropsy sets in, and tue patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon Whiskey is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
my rooms, both male and female are stupehed with
this poison. The reliefis temporary. If they cough,
they take little Whiskey; II they feel weak and
feeble, they take a little Whisky; If 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 neshy. The
stomach liver and digestive powers are completely
and they lose their appetite for food. No
ono was ever cured of consumption by this process,
where cavities have been formed in the lungs.
little stimulant is frequently beneficial to consump
tives, such as pure Brandy or good Wines-in many
cases London Porter or Brown Stout In moderate
quantities; but Bourbon Whisky hastens on, instead
Of curing consumption.
The SEAwEED TONIC produces lasting results,
invigorating the stomach and digestive
system, and enabling 1t to eliminate and make into
healthy blood the food which may be used for that
purpose 1t is so wonderful In Its effects that wine
glass full will digest hearty meal, and little of 1t
taken before break fast will give tone TO tho stom
ach which few medicines possesses the power OF do
ing.
