CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Mnnvycnrs ago whilst residing In Philadelphia,
had progressed gradually into the last stage oi rn-
monary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery
being dissipaed, was advised by my physiclnh'
Or. Parrish, to remove into tho coantry, Mooros;

and tissue of my system.

undivided attention to lung diseases In truth, l
was next to forced to it, for people wond send Tor
me. far and near, to ascertain whether their cases
were like mine. go
For many years, in conjunction with my principal
office in Philadelphia, have been making regular
professional visits TO New iork, boston, bai'inoro
For many Years past, have made as many as five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Respirom-
ctcr" For such examinations my charge is three
dollars and 1t 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
medicines to stop the cough to stop the night
hectic fcvcr and by doing they dcrange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions' ana
eventually tho patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is ono of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tome
and healing in itself. 1t contains no OPIUM yet IL
loosens the phlcgm in the bronchial tubes, ana ma
ure throws it off with little exerton; one bottle fro.
quenty cures ordinary cold; but it will be well
first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach The Pulmonic Syrup is readily
direstcd and absorbed into the blood, to which 1t
imparts its healing properties 1t is ono of tho best
of iron in use 1t is powerful tonic OF
Itself and when the Seaweed Tonic dissoves the mu-
cus in the stomach, and is carried of by the aid OF
the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none other
is required when 1t is used. 1t is pure and pleas
mo bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach torpors the liver locks
up all the sccretions, turns the blood into water,
dropsy sets in, and the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon Whiskey is recommended nova. days by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
nv rooms both male and female, are stupehed with
this poison The reiefis temporary. 1fthey cough,
they take a little Whiskcy; If they feel weak and
feeble. they take a little Whisky if they cannot
sIcep they take little Whisky; and they go ON in
this way requiring morcond more, until they are
bloated up and imagine they getting feshy The
stomach liver and digestive powers are 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 stimulant is frequently beneficial to consump-
tives, such as pure Brandy or good Winos-in many
cases London Porter or Brown Stout, in moderate
quantities; but Bourbon Whisky hasens on, instead
of curing consumption.
The SEAwEED TONIC produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and digestive
system, and enabling it 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 it
taken before break fast will give tone TO the stom-
ach which few medicines possesses the power OF do
ing.
