Another Address br pr. sohonoE.

Wecopy the following from the Boston Journal
ot January IT, Philadelphians, read it,
DR.. Schenck was at his elegant rooms in
Hanover street yesterday, on the occasion of
MS weekly visit. As usual there was great
rush OF patients, coming from almost every por-
tion OF New England The Doctor who is wise
ana shrewd, saw at a glance wnat could aud
Whal could not be done In the few remaining
hOurs OF the day, and, entering the reception
rooms, proceeded to address those present,
giving, as will be seen, some very excellent
counsel. The Doctor deals in common sense,
makes plain statements, and knows what he
says. He spoke as iollows:-
r Ladies an0 Gentlemen:-l see there are more
here than can properly attend to, and so |
unjust try and manage 1t to get number of you
(at time. Many Of you only want little adj
vice. You have seen me before. Some OF you,
j suppose, have come long distance, and are
apparently too feeble to wait your turn. Those
that wish a thorough examination with the
Resprometer ! will take into my private room
as soon as possible. My charges are i've dollars
for an examination. / can listen 10 your lungs
and tell pretty well their condition. but II YOU
want to know their exact state-whether il is
Bronchial Tuberculous, Pleuutic, or Pulmo-
nary Consumption and whether YOU are curable
4 or not you must be examined with the Respi-
rometer. 1t Is the only proper way of adscul-
tating. Consumption can be cured; lungs
deeply diseased can be healed up If the system
! is got into healthy, healing condition. The
course pursued by the majority of physicians IS
all wrong. They never cure. Their Coo Liver
Oil and Whisky only ruin the stomach. / fre-
quently, in riding in the cars. get seated by con-
sumDiyes. They have all their traps for
drinking with them, and as soon rs they get
into spell of coughing they take drink OF
whisky. And so they go on, and many drink
quart day. Take well man and let hum drink
in this way and he will soon lose his appetite.
My first step is to cleanse the stomach and liver,
and then to create an appetite, Many of you
have a cough, night sweats, creeping Chills; and
b you all want TO have them stopped. You think
you would be so much better. Now l stop
nothing. The cough is TO relieve the lungs. II
your lung are diseased, the first and only thing
to be done is get the strength; and the only
way to do that Is to cleanse the stomach and
liver If both lungs are not too badly affected,
with my Mandrake Pills, Sea Weed Tonic, and
PumoHic Syrup can frequently effect the most
wonderful cures OF Consumption. cure ire.
quently requires gentle purging for some length
of time, to get the stomach and liver to act
naturally. As soon as the muCus and slime begin
to move, the appetite begins to come up. Tne
Sea Weed Tonic being an alGali, preserves the
foOdin the stomach until It is digested prevent
ing 1t from sourlng. Now, IN almost all cases of
lung disease, the action OF the system Is so
slow that food lies in the stomach and sours.
Blood is made of it after it is spoiled and
this Is the way our blood gets thick and bad.
Canker, Sore Throat, and Catarrh proceed from
this sour stomach. Burning of the thrOa, with
Caustc and gargles afford only temporary
relief 1t should be treated the same as when
the tongue Is coated, or sick headache. The
cause is the same. My Pulmonlc Syrup goes
! right TO blood when the stomach Is Kept right
with the Pills and Tonic. Now | wish you TO
understand that have no special remedies for
Ch1lls or Night Sweats. As soon the lungs
begin to heal these will stop; but If opium,
quinne, and many other things which are used
TO stop them thus go right into the stomach,
and get 1T SO deranged, digestion stops. This is
= the very thing am trying to restore. Ii |
cannot get patients hungry, and get food to
digest easily, cannot cure them. Get up a
good appetite, eat good, rich food, fat meat,
4 gravy-ln fact, nearly everything the appetite
cravcs-and the lungs will soon begin to heal.
No matter whether the sore is inside or out
side, II the system is healthy it will heal up.
You can hardly stop II. 1t Is natural to neil.
You may notice persons that have Scrofula, or
any old chrome running ulcers; they are all of
feeble or bilious condition. thelr digestion is
poor and they have not a healthy circulation
of blood. Some three or four years ago a lady,
Mrs. Bartholomew, came to my room, No. 81
Bond street, New York she had tumor
with two running ulcers on her liver which had
been running fourteen years; ana they kept get
I ting worse. She was cOstiye, SKIN yellow, very
stupid and dull liver and stomach tUrplu, and
nN circulation. In three months | ran the
disease all out of her. The ulcers healed, and
she Is now bright, healthy woman. Now there
is one very important matter 10 be attended to
in curing Consumption. and that is, TO prevent
taking cold. Your physicians tell you to 90 out
every pleasant day. This, in my opinion, is
great mistake Persons in health go out and
u take colds. When lung begins TO heal the
q slightest change will inHame it, and then they
4 are thrown back. When l can persuade patients
4 to keep to their rooms Il am almost sure of
u success. When they are able, they can eXer
A else about the rooms to get the blood in cir
culaton. The directions which accompany
my medicines are 30 explicit that any one
can take them all without ever seeing me.
There is not day but what l hear of some
that have been cured that never saw. TAKE
y Ule medicine, and guard against taking cold.
Il Ii che lungs are not too far gone, the stomach
will soon cleanse ITSELF the appetite will come.
Eat plenty of good food, and nature will neal
the lungs. As | said before, do not depend on
something to ease the cough, or to stop night
sweats and creeping chiils, for these are only
temporary. Some persons may think when |
speak OF taking cold that my medicines may
open the pores and lay them more liable; but 1t
Is right the reverse OF this, for when the
stomach is cleansed persons are not 50 haole to
take cold as when the system is locked up.
frequently, when people take a cold, If tthey
would swallow a dose of Mandrake Pills it
would work it Off. hut instead OF this they take
something to cneCk it, which drives 1t back
or the next slight cold and nhamma-
ton of the lungs. l have talked much
longer than : intended to, out when / start
/ get so anxious to convince people how
easy 1t is to Keep well and feel itlor business,
thatl DO not know where to stop. When the
stomach is out of order you are sick all over,
and If you keep that right you cannot help but
be healthy and heshy. Look at me. Once |
was in the last stage of Consumption, as tall as
am now, and weighed less than one hundred
pounds. Ny father, mother, brothers. and sister
all died OF Consumptloa-a family complaint
and yet here now am, weighing two hundred
andEhirty pounds, cured by the same medicines
i offer TO you. do not wlsh to be understood
that my medicines cure all. great many die
that take them. They commence too late, and
their lungs are too far gone. Their stomach
and liver are so much congested-and | am
sorry to say, frequently by the use of Bourbon
Whisky-to get them into action. The Mandrake
Pills contain no Calomel or Mercury; they are
