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

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull
monary Consumption. All hopes of my recovery
being dissipated, was advised by my physician
DR.. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moores
town N. j., being my native place, ] was removed
thither My father and all his family had lived and
died there-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my srrival was put to bed, where 1 lay fol
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condi'
ton. DR.. Thornton who had been my fathers fam
ily physican and had attended him In his last i'll
ness, vas called to see me- He thought my case en-.
tcrely beyond the reach OF medicine, and decided
that must die, and gave me one week to arrange
my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopeless
condition, heard of the remidies now make and
sell. It seemed to me that could feel them work.
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre
and tissue Of my system.
NY 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 elmi
mated, the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and ex
perforated from my lungs as much as pint of yeo"
offensive matter every morning. As this expectora
ton OF matter subsidized the fever abated, and pair
left me, the cough ceased to barras' me, and the
hausting night-sweats were no longer known, and
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been
stranger. My appetite now began to return, and al
times found 1t difficult to restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return of health gained in
strength, and am now fleshy. am now healthy
man with large healed cicatrix in the middle lobe
Of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatizcd with
complete adhesion TO the pleura. The left lung 1,
sound, md the upper lobe Of the right one is in 9
tolernbfy healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought TO be an
ncurabe disease by every one, physicians as well as
those unlearned in modicinc-especinlly such cases
as were reduced to the condition was in This in
duced many people to believe my recovery only TEN
pory now prepared and gave medicines to con
sumptives for some time, and made many wonderful
cures and the demand increased so rapidly that de-
termined to offer them to the public, and devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth,

me, far and near, to ascertain whether their case;
were like mine.
For many years. In conjunction with my principa
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 "Resprom

dollars, and It enables to give each patient the
true condition Of his disease, and tell him frankly
whether he will get well.
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
hectic fever and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking mp tho secreuons, and
eventually the patient dies.
