THE HISTORY
DIR. sCHENoK's OWN CASE,
CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst rosiding IN PHILADELPHIA,
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull
| ihonary Consumption. All hopes Of my rc-9le cry
being disipated, was advised by my ply ican,
DR.. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moores.

tlther. My father and all his family had lived and
died there-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my srriyal was put to bed, where L lay for
many weeks in what was deemed a hopeless condi-
ton. DIR. Thornton who had been my fathers fam
lily physician, and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, was called to see me. He thought my case en-
tercly beyond the reach OF medicine, and decided
that must die, and gave me ono week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, 1 heard of theremides now make and

and tissue of my system. q .Fsf
My lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
irritated the different organs of the body was em
mated, the tuberces on my lungs ripened, and ex-
perforated from my lungs as much as pint of yellow
offensive matter every morning. As this expectora-
tion of matter subsidized, the fever ahated and pain
left me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the
hausting night-sweats were no longer known, and
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been a
stranger. My appetite now began to return, and at
times found 1t difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return OF health, gained in
strength, and am now feshy. ! am now ealthy

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-

dollars, and it enables me to give each patient the
true condition of his disease, and tell him frankly

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 sweat
hectic fever and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretons, and
eventually the pateut dies. N
