DR.. SCHENCK AND HIS MEDICINES.
An Egtroot rom The Boston Journal.

weekly, and who has a permanent office at
No. 35 Hanover street. We have on several
occasions visited DIR. Schenoks rooms; we
have seen his patients (for the second or third
time perhaps), and noticed the Improvement
in some of them we have heard the Doctor
address them in a body, when his limited time
would not enable him to examine them sepa-
rately; and we now add our encomiums to the
thousands heretofore given him. His name is
gratefully familiar to thousands of households
in gthe land for he has happily rescued
from consuming disease and restored
to health thousands upon thousands who
y had been the dreary round of the regular,
irregular, and other doctors, and given overas
hopeless. Himself rescued, as it were. from
the impending grave, while apparently in the
last stages of consumption, it is not matter
of wonder that he has entire confidence in the
restorative powers of his own medicine. He is
as strong vigorous, and labor-enduring a man
as one would be likely to see in going over the
city whole month. The fact that he prao-
tises his arduOus profession the entire day, and
then travels the entire night to reach his next
Office, as from Boston to New York, Philadel-
phia, and Baltimore each week, indicates
both the pressure of his business and the
extraordinary demands upon his ply
sical nature. If he was not Gas tough
as a truck horse, to use a homely but ex-
pressive comparison, he could not hold out
as he does, and maintain his vigorous health
and an exuberant flow of animal spirits.
The secret of it is in having cured himself by
the right sort of remedies, and resorting to
them personally whenever occasion re-
quires. What was seemingly so miraculous
in his case is not whit more than is wit
messed in hundreds of cases monthly under
his treatment. The plain and emphatic
truth is, his medicines act with and
assist nature, instead of running coun-
ter to her methods. In this important
respect they differ essentially from those
used by the regular faculty. His theory of
disease, management of patients, and kindred
matters are also in contrast to other phys-
clans, and so much so as to render his system
peculiar and original. In the cure of pulmo-
nary complaints affections of the liver and
stomach, we presume DR.. Schenck now stands
at the head of American practitioners. This
is certainly the case, if the number of cures
he effects is an indication of skill and correct
doctrine. DR.. Schenck has three preparations
which are accomplishing most remarkable re-
suits, VIII
l. PULMoNIC SYRUP.
2. SBAwBED Tonic.
3. MANDRAKE PILLS.
These are the magic wands which he wields
with such wonderful, benefcent effects. With
these he attacks the strongholds of disease,
and achieves successes which are the admira-
ton and astonishment of the public. With
the marvellous healing virtues of these COM
pounds, added to the good advice of the Doc
tor, there are few cases indeed that are not
followed by all that the patient can hope. His
method of expelling diseases from the system
is thus made direct, simple, and effective.
He does not experiment with and victimize
those who seek him for treatment. He
knows just what his medicines will and
won't do, and no one will be left in doubt as
to the matter. If we know him, he does not
want any patients money that cannot be
helped or cured. People who have bad lungs,
bad livers, and bad stomachs should advise
with DR.. Schenck for he is the man to help
them. The trio of bads just named compre-
hend, or cause, about all the maladies flesh
is heir to-, and once taken in hand in the righ;
manner cure is likely to follow. Dr. Schenck
makes the stomach clean and strong and
healthy and puts it in working order as a
starting point. This is in fact the foundation
of his cures. He then sets it to making the
material for good blood, to be sent over the
whole body. Very sensibly and naturally,
he believes in making the mill grind the corn.
OF course, the liver and other organs are looked
after sharply at the same time. 1t is not pro
bable that any disease which is at all durable
within his line of practice would resist Dr.
Schenck's most admirable combination of
specifics, and the sick may therefore go to
him with every expectation of restored health
the greatest of human blessings.
