THE HISTORY
DR.. sCHENCK's OWN CASE,
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many yearsago, whilst residing in Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pnl
monary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery
being dsspated, was advised by my physician,
DR.. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moores-
town n j., being my alive place, was removed
thither. My father and all his family had lived and
died there-and died Of Pulmonary Consumption
On my arrival was put to bed, where / lay for
many weeks in what was deemed n hopeless cOndi-
ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers fam
lily physician, and had attended him in bis last ILL.,
ness, was called to see me. He thought my case en-
terely beyond the reach Of medicine, and decided
That must die, and gave week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition. 1 heard of the remdies now make and
SELL 1t seemed to me that could feel them work
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
irrtaed the different organs of the body was emi-
natcd the tubercles on my lungs rpened, and ex-
perforated from my lungs as much pint of yellow
offensive matter every morning. As this eXpectora-
ton of matter subsidized, the fever ahated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased to harrass me, snd the
haustng night-sweats were no longer known, and |
had refreshing sleep, to which i had long been a
stranger My appetite now began to return, and at
times found it difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return OF health gained in
strength, and am leshy. am now healthy
man with large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepaized with
complete adhesion to the pleu.a. The left lung is
sound aud the upper lobe of the right one is in n
iOlerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be an
ncuable disease by every one, physicians as we'll as
those unlearned in medicine-especaly such cases
as were reduced to the condition was in. This in
duced many people to believe my recovery only tenn
pory now prepared and gave medicines to con-
sumptiyes for some time, and made many wonderful
cures: and the demand increased so rapidly that de-
termned to offer them to the public, and devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth,
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 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 il enables me to give each patient the
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 swcss
hectic fever and by so doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretions, and
the patient dies

medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
