THE HISTORY
DIR. scHENcK's OWN CASE,
LAND How HE WAS
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 dissipated, WAS advised by my physician,
DR.. Parrish to remove into the coantry' Moores,
ihither My father and all his family bad lived and
died there and died Of Pulmonary Consumption
On my srrival / was put to bed, where lay Tor
many weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condi-
ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers fam
lily physician, and had attended him in his last III
ness, was called to see me- He thought my case en-,
tcrely beyond the reach OF medicine, and decided
that must die, and sayo mo ono week TO arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, heard of the remidies now make aud
SELL 1t seemed to me that could feel them work
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, hbre,
and tissue of mysystem
NV lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irrated the different organs of the body, WAS eimi-
mated the. tubercIes my lungs ripened, and ex-
pectorate from my lungs as much as pint of yellow
Offensive matter every morning. AS this expectora-
ton of matter subsidized, the fever abated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harass me- and the ex.
hausting night-sweats were 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 N
man with a large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatzed with
complete adhesion to the plenra. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe OF the right one is IN
.tolerably healthy condition. spAg
Consumption at that time was thought to be an
ncurable by every one physicians as we'll as
ose unlearned in medicine-especially such cases
as were reduced to the condition was in. This in
duced many people to believemy recovery only tenn

sumptives for some time, and made many wonderful
cures and the demand Increased so that lie
termined to offer them to tho publcsand devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, !

me, far and near, to ASCERTAIN whether their cases
were like mine my.
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 as many as five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Respirom

dollars and 1t enables me to give each patient thu

The great reason why physicians do not cure Con
