A SUBSTITUTE FOR CALOMEl

0 "Ao"iVel anu sClenJlnc talent ana 1nge-
nuity Of both Europe and America have long
been actively, but unsuccessfully, exercised to
provide substitute for cALoMEL, that power
tul, dangerous, poisonous, destructive sub
stance which, Notwithstanding its kno Hn ruin
GUS results, has acted a leading part in the
practice of most physicians all their profess
siOnal lives. Days and nights, year in and
year out, have been laboriously and persist
emily passed by eager heads and hands to
learn if, in all the wide realm of nature, there
could not be found something that would
perform the varied offices of calomel and
at the same time not be followed by its deplo-
rably baneful fleets. Fortunately for man
kind, and to the perennial glory OF science
and the medical art, this great desideratum
has been discovered by DR.. J. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia. Schenck's Mandrake Pills COM
bine precisely the purpose, the power, and the
need which has so long been sought; and
henceforth calomel, in all its killing forms,
from mercury to its most distant dilution,
may be laid on the upper shelf of obscurity,
to repose in the merted dust and rubbish of
ages. The Pills have been in use in DR..
SchencB's very large practice for several years,
and their marvellous virtues have been fully
demonstrated. Their effect is precisely wha
is wanted-at once active, friendly, searching
and thorough on the human system.
1t is not probable that so really great and
efioacious a discovery in medicine has been
made for centuries, and it rebounds all the
more to the extraordinary spirit of investiga-
ton, observation, and sagacity of DR.. SChenck,
that he should have reached the proud dis
tinction of making it. The Doctor puts for
ward no special claim to be scientific man,
but he is certainly that and very much more
man Of rare common sense and intelligence
He has had, and is daily having, an immense
Tactice in the cure of disease, and has sadly
seen too often the disastrous and fatal effect Of
Z calomel, in its various phases, not to have for
it just and abiding horror.
The very extensive demand for the Pills
from every section of the country shows at
least that they are beginning to be appreci-
ated. As a commercial fact of interest, we
may state that no pill in the country is selling
so rapidly at the leading medical depots. The
great resources of the fine laboratory in Phila-
delphia are taxed to the utmost, and yet the
supply is far behind the demand. He has
struck upon most fortunate discovery-for-
tunate for the world, and fortunate in double
sense to himself. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
have just entered upon their benefcent career.
Their course will circle the round of the
nations, and no people upon whom the sun
shines or stars look down will ere long be
without their health-restoring, hfe-giving aid.
Disease, routed, dismayed, disheartened,
will flee from it's hiding places in the human
system, shorn of its power to curse and de-
stroy. Combining as they do not only the best
efficacy and virtue of Mandrake, itself most
remarkable growth of nature, but other rare
and active products culled from her profuse
cornucopia and compounded as they are in
the INCEST proportions and after the most ap-
proved chemical methods, the Pills are truly
an achievement in medical science which will
bear the severest test of time, and grow in
popularity in proportion as they are used.
They act not upon any one, but several organs;
and above and more than all, they clear the
system of that gross, impure, filthy bile
which causes 80 much disease, and which,
while in the system, utterly prevents anything
like health.
Columns could easily be written upon the
multfarious virtues of these Pills. This is,
perhaps, hardly necessary at the present time,
for they are surely as well as swiftly making
a welcome place in every household in the
land.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills will make his
name dear to the fresides of the world, and
many a PROSTATE form will rise in joy, health,
and strength to bless him. He has achieved,
bv the force of common sense, and close, con-
secutive study, triumph in the healing art
which all the grave and revered professors of
the medical institutions of the world would
give their entire hOnors and emOluments to
TO have made. Thus it is that the world
moves on, it's progress and momentum being
made not by the so-called great men, but by
the practical, the hard-working the robust,
and industrious possessors and users of com
mon sense Such man is DR.. Schenck, and
| his name will go down to posterity treasure
to grateful millions for his noble, life-inspiring
discovery-THE scHENcK MANDRAKE Pulls
