CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadelphia
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pu
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 thbrc-and died of Pulmonary Consumption
On my arrival was put to bed where l lay fol-
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condi
ton. DR.. Thornton who had been my fathers fam
lily physician, and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, was called to me- He thought my case en-
tcrey 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, 1 heard of the romidies | now make aud
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
rritated the different organs of the body was elimi-
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 eNpectora-
tion of matter subsidized, tho 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 heshy. am now a healthy
man with a large healed ccatrix in the middle lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hepatzcd with
complete adhesion to the peura. The left lung ia
tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to DO an
incurable disease by every one physicians we'll as
those unlearned in medicine-especally such cases
as were reduced to the condition in. This in
duced many people to believe my recovery only tenn
pory. / now prepared and gave medicines to con-
sumptives for some time, and made many wonderful
cures: and the demand increased rapidly that de-
termined to offer them to the public, and devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, i
was next to forced to 1t, 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 "Resprom-
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 TO do too much; they give
medicines stop the cough to stop the night sweats
hectic fever and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretons, and
eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valuable
medicines known 1t is nutrient, powerfully tonic
and healing in itself. II contains no opium, yet It
loosens the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and ma
ture throws il of with little exerton; bottle fire.
quently cures an ordinary cold; but II will be well
fret to take dose Of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach. The Pulmonc Syrup IL readily
digesied and absorbed into the blood, to which it
imparts its healing properties 1t Of the best
preparations of iron in use is powerful tonic Of
itself and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolyes The mu

the Mandrake Pills healthy flow of gastric juice,

The seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none other

Bourbon Whisky Is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit

they take little Whisky; II they feel weak and

this way requiring more and more, until they are

stomach, liver and digestive powers completely
destroyed, and they lose their appetite for food No
one was cured Of consumption by this process,
where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A
