CURED OF CONSUMPTION.

Many years ago, whilst residing in rhiladelrhia,,
had progressed gradually into the last stage of Pull
monary CONSUMPTION. All hopes of my recovery
being dissipatcd, was advised by my physician,
Dr. Parrish, to remove into the coantry, Moorcs-
town N j., being my native place. ] was removed
thither. My father and all his family had lived and
died thsre-and died Of Pulmonary Consumption
On my srrval was put to bed, where lay for
many weeks in what was deemed hopeless condi-
ton Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathcrs fam
y physician and had attended him in his last ILL
ness, was called to 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 1t seemed to me that could feel them work.
ing their way, and penetrating every nerve, hbre
and tissue of my system.
MY lungs and liver put on new action, and the
morbid matter which for years had accumulated and
rrtated the different organs OF the body was elimi
mated, the ubcrcles on my lungs ripened, and eN.
pectoraed from my lungs as much rs pint of yellow
offensive matter every morning. As this expectora.
tion of matter subsidized the fever abated, and pain
left me- the cough ceased TO harrass me, and the OK
hausting night-sweats were no longer known, and
had refreshing sleep, to which had long been
stranger. My appetite now began to return, ana ~
times found ii difficult TO restrain myself from eat
ing too much; with this return of health, gained in
strength, and an now ieshy. am now a h@aithy
man with large healed cicatrix In the middle lobe
of the right lung and the lower lobe hcpatized with
complete adhesion to the pleura. The left lung is
sound and the upper lobe of the right one is in a
tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time thought to be an
ncurablo disease by every one physicians ms well ms
those unlearned in ENTHUSIASTICALLY such cases
as we're reduced to the condition was in. This in
duced many people to believe my recovery only tenn
pory. / now prepared and gave medicines to con
sumptiyes for some time, and made many wonderful
cures: and the demand increased so rapidly that de-
termned to offer them to tho public and devote my
undivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, l
was next to forced to it, for people would send for
m IN and near, to ascertain whether their cases
were like mine. 80
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, I have made as many five
hundred examinations weekly, with the "Respirom'
eter" For such examinations my charge is three
dollars and II enables me 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 stop the cough to stop the night sweats
hect tic fever and by doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretlons, ana
eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one OF the most valuable
medicines known. II is nutrient, powerfully tonic
and healing in itself. II contains no opium, yet 1t
looseps the phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and ma
ture throws 1t of with little exeron; one bottle IRE
quently cures ordinary cold; but 1t will be well
first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake Pills to
cleanse the stomach The Pulmonic Syrup is readily
digested and absorbed into the blood, to which II
imparts its healing properties 1t one OF the best
of iron In use; IL is powerful tonic OF
itself and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves the mu-
Gus In the stomach and Is carried of by the aid OF
the Mandrake Pills, healthy flow OF gastric juice,
good appetite, ard good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic Is stimulant, and none other
is required when 1t Is used 1t is pure and pleasant
no bad effects like when using Bourbon Whisky,
which disorders the stomach, torpors the liver locks
up all the secretions, turns the blood into water,
dropsy sets in, and the patient dies suddenly.
Bourbon Whisky Is recommended nowadays by
almost every physician. Many patients that visit
nv rooms both male and female, are stupehcd with
this poison The reliefis temporary. II hey cough,
they take little whiskey; ~ they feel weak and
feeble, they take a little whisky IL they cannot
sleep, they take little Whisky; and they 20 on In
this way requiring more and more, until they are
bloated up and imagine they are getting neshy The
stomach, liver and digestive powers are completely
destroyed and they lose their appetite for food No
where cavities have been formed in the lungs. A
little sfimnlant IL frequently beneficial to eonsumn
tives, such as pure Brandy or good Wines-in many
cases london Porter or Brown Stout, On moderate
quantities; but Bourbon Whisky nastens on, instead
Of curing consumption.
The sFAwFFD TONIC produces lasting results,
thoroughly inviroratng the stomach and digestive
system and enabling Il 20 eliminate and make into
healthy blood the food which may be used for that
uuruos. II IL 90 wonderful in its effects that wine
glass full will digest hearty meal. and little 81 u
