CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing in philsdclphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage Of Pn
monary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery
being disspated, was advised by my physician
! DR.. Parrish, to remove into the coaniry, Moores
| town N j.. being my nltiye place, l WAS removed
thither. My father and all his family had lived and
died thsro-and died of Pulmonary Consumption -

tcrely beyond the reach Of medicine, and decided
that must die, and gave me one week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless

My lungs and liver put on a new action, and the

left me, the cough ceased to harrass me- and the
hausting night-sweats were no longer known, aud

stranger. My appetite now began to return. and at
times found it difficult to restrain myself from eat

tcrmned to offer them to tho public and devote my
undivided attention TO lung diseases. In truth, I
was next to forced to it, for people would send for
me, far and near, TO ascertain whether their
were like mine.
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.
eter." For such examinations my charge is three
dollars, and II enables me to give each patient the
true condition of his disease, and tell him frankly
The great roason why physicians H.. M, c,ro Co,.
s"r Is, that they try to do too mnch they give
hectic fever and by doing they dcrange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
eventually the patient dies
The Pulmonic Syrup Is one of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
and healing in itself 1t contains opium, yet it
loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and ma

first to take q dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach. The Purnonic Syrup Is readily

Bourbon Whiskey Is recommended nowadays by |
almost every physician. Many patients that visit |
my rooms, both male aud female, are stupefed with |
this poison. The reliefis temporary. Ifthey cough
they take little Whiskey; If they feel weak and |
feeble, they take little Whisky; IL 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 leshy. The
stomach, liver and digestive powers are completely
destroyed, and they lose their appetite for food No
,ne cured of consumption by this process,
where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A
little stimulant Is frequently beneficial to consump
lives, such pure Brandy or good Wines-in many
,ssos London Porter or Brown Stout, in moderate
Quantities; but Bourbon Whisky hastens on, instead
u curing consumption.
The SEAWEED TONIC produces lasting results,
thoroughly invigorating the stomach and digestive
ystem, and enabling II to eliminate and make into
lealthy blood the food which may he used for that
purpose. IL Is wonderful In its effects that wine
lass full will digest a hearty meal, and little Of II
