SCHENCWS MANDRAKE PILLS,

""ioh nave made Dr. SCHBNCK more sue
cesstul in the treatment of several very dan
gerous and fatal diseases than any other
medical practitioner in the United States.
The Mandrake Pills are offered as
SUBSTITUTE FOR oALoMEL
blue mass, and other preparations Of mer-
curry, which actually produce more suffering
and death than the diseases which they pro-
tess to cure. In confirmation of this fact the
alopathic physicians themselves have volun-
teered their evidence, although they continue
to use that pernicious drug most extensively
and Unfortunately in their practice.
ALLOPATHIC TESTIMONY AGAINST MERCURY.
DR.. James Hamilton, an eminent allopathic
physician of England says:-"Among the
numerous poisons which have been used for
the cure or alleviation of diseases, there are
few which are more active, and, of course,
more dangerous than mercury"
Preparations of mercury" says DR.. VIM.
Beach, of New York, "when they are used
either internally or externally for a consdera-
BILE length Of time, increase the general action
of the heart and arteries, and produce saliva
ton, followed by emaciation and debility with
an extremely irritable condition of the whole
system. These effects of mercury are ex-
pressly mentioned or virtually admitted by
every author, both ancient and modern, who
has directed its use"
The same author declares that scrofulous
sores, alterations of the liver and lungs, and
all kindred disorders, are ''much aggravated
by the use of mercury"
And yet this corrosive mineral, so denounced
by the allOpathic doctors, is prescribed by
them almost universally in cases of Liver
Complaint, Consumption of the Lungs, Setc.
1t is generally believed by physicians of all
schools, that many fatal diseases of the lungs,
and other internal organs, originate in dis
ordered state of the liver. To correct the
unhealthy condition of the liver, they give
calomel and blue mass because, as they sup
pose or pretend, their "Pharmacopuia' offers
no better remedy, or none that is less obec-
tionable and dangerous.
THE SUBSTITUTE.
DR.. Schenck AYERS that his Mandrake Pills
will effect every object for which the prepara-
tions of mercury can possibly be useful; and
he declares most solemnly and conscientiously
that these Pills may be used with PERFECT
SAFETY in all cases where alternatives or purga-
tives are required. This medicine acts on the
Liver and Stomach, giving energy and
healthy tone to bo of these organs, without
producing any un favorable reaction and with
out impairing the digestive powers or weaken
ing the constitution of the patient. 1t can be
proved that hundreds of people have been
cured of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint by
the use of this medicine. So powerful and
unmistakable is its action on the liver that
some physicians who have witnessed its effects
declared that calomel must be one of its ingre-
dients. But DIR. Schenck protests, and he has
made oath before an alderman, that no mine
raj substance whatever enters into the compO-
siton of this medicine.
THE MANDRAKE PILLS
are composed entirely of roots and herbs,
obtained from the great storehOuse OF nature,
and their salutary effects will appear as soon
as the medicine is brought to the test of fair
experiment. Schenck's Mandrake Pills do
not produce any nausea or sickness at the
stomach; but when given for dyspepsia, it
may be proper to use them in connection
with SCHENCh pEAMhhD 1ONlN' ny lnlS Jltul-
cious treatment the digestive faculties are
speedily restored to their full vigor, and the
worst case of indigestion may be cured.
When we reflect that the liver is the largest
internal organ of the body, that to it is as
signed the important duty of fltering the
blood and preparing the bile, that it is subject
to many disorders and that when it is diseased
or inactive the whole body suffers sympa-
thetically, it is not surprising that a medicine
which can restore the healthy operations OF
the liver should produce wonderful changes in
the general health, and effect cures which
may appear to be almost miraculous. Head
aches of long continuance, severe pains in the
side, breast and shoulders, aching of the
limbs, feeling of general weakness and
wretchedness, and other alarming or distress
ing symptoms, indicative of imperfect or dis.
ordered action of the liver, are speedily re-
moved by the use of Schenck's Mandrake
, Pills.
Costiveness, Piles, bitter or sour eructations
and that indescribable feeling of oppression
mental anxiety, langour, lethargy, and de
preston of spirits which unfit a man for tn,
management of business and the enjoyment o
life, are all relieved by the use Of Schenck
Mandrake Pills.
