TNE GREAT cure Of cHAs. G. Johnson. OF BRISTOL

INV was EhVNOUNOhD lNCURABLY FIXED IN THB
LAST STAGE OF PULMONARY CONSUMPTION, BY
TWO sKuFUL PHYSICIANS.
Mr.. Johnson was rescued from deaths door
by the use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
having been prostrated all winter. His case
was witnessed by several of the most respect
able citizens of this State, whose names are
appended to his certificate Read read and
be convinced that Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
is the only certain cure for Consumption
= BRISTOL, Bucks County, Pa.-Dr. J. H.
Schenck-Dear Sir:-I am induced, from a
sense of justice towards you, as well as duty to
the public, to make known one of the most
hopeless and extraordinary cures, IN mn o,on
person, that you have ever had the pleasure to
record. Indeed, l regret my inability to por-
tray, in truthful colors, my consuming disease,
and the remarkable change which Schencks
Pulmonic Syrup effected in so short a time.
was taken, some time previous to Decem-
Der, lS48, with heavy cold, producing inces-
SAINT coughing, accompanied with acute pain
in the right side, pains in the back, under the
right shoulder, having heavy nght-sweats,
high fevers, etc, which made me so nervous
All these Affections increased with such vio-
lence that on the 4th of January last sent
for my family physician. He attended me
faithfully, and prescribed everything that
medical skill could suggest but without effect.
l found myself gradually growing worse, and
my hopes of recovery lessening as my disease
increased. My cough became distressing my
oh ad
lost all ambition in life, and gave up to state
of melancholy depression. My physician ex-
amined me, and informed me l had
an abscess on the upper part of my
liver and lower part of one of my
lungs. Notwithstanding all his skill, grew
worse; but with that tenacity with which we
all cling to life, l concluded to leave nothing
undone, and called in a consulting physician,
who fully concurred with my own, and pro-
nounced my case an extremely critical one.
He thought was in imminent danger, saying
my disease twas one that is seldom, if ever
cured" All this time l was enduring suffer-
ings that made life burdensome; experiencing
great pain in coughing; expectoratin from
pint to quart of nauseOus matter Jsyery
twenty-four hours, and gradually sinking
under the weakening progress of my disease.
AT this stage of my illness, my friends in Bris
tol suggested the use of Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup; but knowing the many eXpedients re-
sorted to for the purpose of draining money
from the afflicted, hestated. My friends,
however, insisting, | was prevailed upon to
try its virtues. | commenced taking the
Syrup about the first of March, and used seve
raj bottles before | had any confidence in it.
then began to experience a change for the
better, and continued it till | had consumed
ten bottles, when was so far relieved as to be
able to visit DR.. Schenck in Philadelphia. He
examined me, and pronounced my right lung
affected, but in healing condition. He re-
commended the further use of the Syrup,
which continued till l consumed fifteen bot
ties and found myself once more restored to
health. will further add, that the consult
ing physician, seeing the action of the medi-
cine, fully approved its use.
To give the reader some idea of the severity
of my case, and the rapid cure effected by the
Syrup, will state that my usual weight in
health was III pounds, which was finally re-
duced by my sufferings to but 12l pounds.
Yet, on the first of this month (September),
weighed ia pounds; thus gaining in few
months So pounds, and within three pounds
of my heaviest weight. 1t is not in my power
to convey, in the short space of this certificate,
the convincing proofs of my remarkable cure,
or the particulars of the agonizing Affections
through which have passed; but to those
who will take the trouble to call on me at
Bristol, opposite Pratts Hotel, shall take
pleasure in detailing every particular.
In conclusion, deem it my duty to urge
upon every person who may have the pre-
monitory symptoms Of this fatal disease,
not to delay one hour, but to call upon DR..
Schenck Immediately. His skill in the treat
ment of this complaint, and prompt de-
lection of diseased parts of the lungs by
means of his StethOscope, added to my own
miraculous cure, fully satisfies me that, had
/ earlier submitted myself to his care, should
have escaped much suffering; but, restrained
by doubts and suspicion, which make us all
naturally skeptical in regard to the virtues
of medicine when first introduced, resisted
the opportunities of my friends till almost
too late, and yielded only as last resort
resolved to 'lSill or cure" To those afflicted
as have been, again let me say, hesitate NJ
longer; my own case is presented to you a
convincing evidence that, when all else fails
