The HISTORY
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, j was advised by my physician,
Dr. Parrish to remove into tho coantry, Moores.

| On my arrival was put to bed, where lay for
many weeks in what was deemed u hopeless condi-

ily physician, and had attended him in his last i'll

| tcrey beyond the reach OF medicine, ana decided
that must die, and gave me one week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
| condition, heard of the remidics now make aud

ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre,
and tissue Of my SYSTEM
MY lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irritated the different organs of the body was ellm-
| mated, the tuberces on my lungs rpened, and ex-
perforated from my lungs rs much pint of yellow
Offensive matter every morning As this expectora-
ton of matter subsidized tho fever abated, and pain
left me- tho cough ceased to harrass me- and the ex-
hausting night-sweats were no longer known and
| had refreshing sleep, to which had long beon q
| stranger. My appetite now began to RETURN and at
times found it difficult TO restrain myself from cat.
ing much; with this return OF health, gained in
! strength, and am now lcshy. am now u healthy
man with large healed cicatrix in the middle Lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatized with
| complete adhesion to the pleura. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe OF the right one ~ IN
| tocrably healthy condition.
| Consumption at that time was thought to be an
ncurable disease by every one, physicians rs well az
those unlearncd in medicine-cspeciay such cases
as were reduced to the condition was in This in
duced many people to believe my recovery only tenn
pory I now prepared and gave medicines TO con-
Bumptiyos for some time, and made many wonderful
cures: and the demand increased rapidly, that de-
tcrmned to offer them to the public, and devote my
| undivided attention to lung diseases. In TRUTH
was next to forced to it, for people would send for
me, far and near, to ascertain Whctnef their cnses
! were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my principal
office in Philadelphia, havo been making regular
professional visits to New lork, Boston, Baltimore
| and Pittsburgh.
| For many years past, have made as many five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Respirom
etcr." For such examinations my charge is three
dollars and it enables TO give each patient tho
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 10 do too much; they give
medicines TO stop the cough to stop the night sweas,
hectic fever and by doing they dcrange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is Of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
and healing in itself. II contains opium, yet 1t
loosens the phlcgm in the bronchial tubes, and ma
ture throws it OFF with little exerton; bottle fire.
quenly cures ordinary cold; but 1t Will be well
first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach The Pulmonic syrup is readily
| digested and absorbed into the blood to which 1t
npars its healing properties 1t is one Of the best
preparations of iron in use; 1t is powerful tonic OF
itself; aud when the Seaweed Tonic dissoves lie mu.
Gus in the stomach, and Is carried off by the aid of
tho Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice,
| good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none other
is required when IL is used. 1t is pure and pleasant
no bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach torpors the liver locks
mp all the secretions, turns the blood into WATER
dropsy sets In, and the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon Whskey is recommended nova days by
almost every physician Many patients that visit
nv rooms, both male and female, are stupefed with
this poison. The relcfs temporary. Ifthey cough,
they take little Whskey; If they feel weak and
feeble, they take littlo Whisky /; If they cannot
sleep, they take a little Whisky; and they go on in
this way requiring more and more, until they are
bloated up and imagine they arc 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
whore cavities have boon formed In. tho lungs A
little s,imulant Is frequently beneficial to consump-
tiycs, 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
thoroughly inyigorating the stomach and digestive
systom and enabling 1t TO eliminate and make iEto
healthy blood tho 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.
