THE HIsTORY OF Dr.. SCHENCK's OWN CASE
AND HOW HE WAS CURED OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, whilst residing in Philidei.
phia l had progressed gradually into the last
stage Of Pulmonary Consumption. An hopes
of my recovery being dissipated, l was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, TO remove into
the country. Moorestown, New Jersey, being
my native place, was removed theithern Nv
father and all his family had lived and died
there-and died Of Pulmonary Consumption
On my arrival l was put to bed where l Law
for many weeks in what was deemed hopeless
condition. DR.. Thornton, who had been my
fathers family physician, and had attended him
in his last illness, was called to see me. He
thoughtmy case entirely beyond the reach of
medicine, and decided that l must die, and
gave me one week TO arrange nv temporal
affairs. In this appearantly hopeless condition,
heard Of the remedies which l now make and
sell. It seemed 10 me that L could feel them
working their way, and penetrating every nerve
fibre, and tissue of 1ay system.
My lungs and liver put OF new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accum-
ulated and irritated the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles of my lungs
ripened, and expectorated from my lungs as
much as pint of yellow offensive matter every
morning. As this expectoration of matter sub.
sided, the fever abated, the pain left me, the
cough ceased TO harrass me, and the exhausting
night-sweets were no longer known and l had
refreshing sleep, to which l had long been a
stranger. My appetite now began to return,
and at times / found it difficult to restrain nv
self from eating too much; with this return of
health, gained in strength, and now am aeshy
am now healthy man, with large healed
cicatrix in the middle lobe OF the right lung and
the lower lobe hepatized with complete adhe-
sion of the pleura. The left lung is sound. and
the upper lobe of the right one is in tolerably
healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurable disease, by every one, physicians
as well as those who were unlearned in medi-
cine-especially such cases as were reduced to
the condition l was in. This induced many
people to believe my recovery only temporary
now prepared and gave the medicine to con-
sumptives for some time, and made many Won
derful cures; and the demands increased SO rap
idly that determined to offer them to the pub.
lie, and devote my undivided attention TO lung
diseases. In truth l was next to forced to it,
for people wound send for NE far and near, TO
acaa oil Tub bpfhpr thar
For many years, IN conjunction with my
principal office in Phi. adelphia, 1 have been
making regular professional visits to New York,
Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburg
For several years past have made as many
as five hundred examinations weekly with the
"Respirometer." For such examination nv
charge is three dollars and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease
and tell him frankly whether he viii get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try TO do too much:
they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop
the night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive system, lock-
ing up the secretions, and eventually the patient
dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most val
liable medicines known. Iii nutrient, power
fully tonic, and healing in itself. It contains
no opium, yet lOosens the phlegm in the bronch-
al tubes, and nature throws it off with little ex-
ertion. One bottle frequently cures an ordin-
ary cold; but it will be well first to take dose
of Sehenck's Mandrake's Pills to cleanse the
stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is readily di-
gested and absorbed into blood, to which it i'm
parts its healing properties. 1t is one of the
best preparations of iron in use; it is a powerful
tonic of itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic
dissolves the mucus in the stomach, and is car
ried off by the aid of the Mandrake Pills a
healthy flow Of gastric juice, good appetite and
a good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a 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.
torpers the liver, locks up all the secretions,
turns the blood into water, dropsy sets in, and
the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon whiskey is recommended now-a-
days by almost every physician. Many patients
that visit my rooms, both male and female, are
stupefed with this poison. The relief Is tenn
porary. If they cough they take little whis-
Ky; if 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, re-
quiring more and more until they are bloated
up, and imagine they are getting 1eShy. The
liver, and digestive powers are COM
pletely destroyed, and lose their appetite for
lOOU. NO OuC was ever NuiSu VI
by this process, where cavities have been form
ed in the lungs. A little stimulant is frequent
ly beneficial to consumptives, such as pure
brandy or good wines; in many cases London
porter or brown stout in moderate qualities; but
Bourbon whiskey hastens on instead Of curing
consumption.
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and di-
gestive system, and enabling it to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. II is so wonderful in
its effects that 4 wineglass full will digest a
hearty meal, and a little of il taken before
breakfast viii give tone to the stomach which
few medicines possess the power of doing.
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken
with entire safety by all ages and conditions,
producing al the good results that can be OBJ
iained from calomel, or any Of the mercurial
and without any OF their hurtful or
injurious results. They carry out of the sys-
ten the feculent ard worn-out matters loosened
and dissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pull
monic Syrup It viii be seen that all three of
nv medicines are needed 10 most cases to cure
Consumption.
