DR.. Schenck's Own Case,
AND HOW HE WAS
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

many wonderful cures; and the demand increased
so rapidly, that determined to offer them to the
public, and devote my undivided attention to lung
diseases In truth, 1 was next to forced to it. for
people would send for me- far and near to ascertain
whether their cases 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 Pittsburg.
For many years past, have made as many as five
hundred examinations, weekly, with the ''Respi
rOmetor." For such examination my charge is three
dollars and it enables me to give each patient the
true condition OF his disease and tell him frankly
whether he will getwen
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
sweats, hectic fever, and by doing they derange
the whole digestive system, locking up the secre-
tions and eventually the patient dies.
The Pnlmonic Syrup is one of the most valuable
medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
and healing in itself 1t contains no opium yet it
lOOsens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and ma
ture throws 1t on with little exertion; one bottle
well first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills
to cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonic Syrup is
readily digcsted and absorbed into the blood to
which it imparts its healing properties. It is one
of the best Preparations of iron in use il is pow

The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulent, and none other
is required when it is used 1t is pure and pleasant

up all the secretions, turns the blood into water
dropsy sets in, and the patient dies suddenly
Bourbon Whisky is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician Many patients that visit
my rooms both male and female are supplied with
this poison. The relief is temporary. If they
cough, they take little whisky if they feel weak
sleep, they take little whisky and they 60 ON in

bloated up and imagine they getting feshy. The
stomach liver and digestive powers are completely
destroyed and they loose their appetite for food
No one was ever cured of Consumption by this pro-
cess, where cavities have been formed in the lungs
little stimulent is frequently beneficial to CON
sumptiyes, such as pure brandy or good wines-in
many cases, London porter or brown stout, in mod
crate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hastens 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 wonderful in its effects that wine
glass full will digest hearty meal and little of it
taken before breakfast will give tone to the stom-
