special claim to be q scientific man, but he is
certainly that and very much more-a man Of
rare common sense and Intelligence He has had
and is daily having an immense practice in the
cure OF disease, and has sadly seen too often
the disastrous and fatal effect of Calomel in its
varied phases, not to have for it a lust and
abiding horror. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
may be said to act as follows:
!. They straightway unlock the Liver, an
organ which in the present condition of civil
lied life is more or less out of order with a
large majority of people. .-. 49,. ,~
2. They cleanse IL and its connecting parts
Of their bilious, filthy, poisonous secretions, and
restore them to their healthy, natural action.

manner upon the bowels. also clearing them of
secretions and deposits, which tend in all cases
to and very often develop disease. Gaz

The very extensive demand for the Pills from
every secTl0l OF the country shows at least that
they are beginning to be appreciated AS
commercial tact 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 one laboratory in philadelphia are taxed
to the utmost and yet the supply is far behind
the demand. To most men the manufacture of |
these Pills would constitute a sufficient bust
ness, but DIR. Schenck, with an ambition and
perseverance which are Herculean, and a faith |
and courage quite apostolic, and possessed by
very few ia the world, desires, for q time long
er, IN some little degree to respond to the calls
OF the sick and suffering. He has however
struck upon most fortunate discovery--fortu- |
nate for the world, and fortunate in a double |
sense to himself. Schenck's Mandrake Pill |
