L he following is letter from distinguish
ed physician, now of Alabama, and former ly of
Phladel phia. inc wrfso. :. -~se old associate of
DIR. Schenck, who knew him when he was in
Consumption:
! lWhileiin New York last Tuesday | visited
the rooms of DIR. j. H. Schenck, No. 80 Bond
street, and was much pleased with what saw
there, and would suggest, as consumption is
generally regarded as lncurable by most of the
medical profession, that physicians would do
as Il have done, call on DR.. Schenck and see
Tor themselves the great efficacy of his medi-
cines, and how accurately he points out the
diseased part However they might differ in
opinion with DR.. Schencli they would be treated
as gentlemen. saw therc'a young lady, Miss
Lucinda Schofeld of Stamford, Connecticut,
who was given up to die eight years ago, with
consumption, but who is now entirely we'll
This lady informed me that she had dry,
hacking cough, pains in the back and chest,
loss of appetite, furred tongue, bowels consti
pated, cOpiOus sweatS, with great debility and
emaciatiOn, which finally eliminated in copi-
Gus and repeated hemorrhages from the lungs,
in which condition she was given up, as hope
lessly incurable, by her medical attendant. DR..
Sehenck was called to her. and prescribed his
remedies. The Mandrake Pills scleapsed the
stomach and bowels, the Seaweed Tonic gave
her a voracious appetite, while the Pulmonic
Syrup relieved her lungs and she finally re-

right lung was in normal condition, but IN
the left the respiratory murnur was absent,
and there was every indication that the medi-
cines had eliminated the tuberculous matter,
and cicatrix had closed the air cells, and af-
forded striking evidence of the great benefit
she had derived from the use of DIR. Schenck's
medicines. eonversed with gentleman who

he had had a distressing cough, night
sweats, loss of appetite, low spirits, and
was rapidly sinking to the grave, but was cur
ed by the timely use of DR.. Schenck's reme
dies. i saw there nearly fifty patients examin-
ed by the Doctor with his Resprometer, and
was kindly invited into his private room to
witness it, and after the examination and state
ment as to the nature of their disease,
through the courtesy of DR.. S. I was
permitted to examine them for myself, and
was pleased to find that in every instance the
Doctor was coreect in his diagnosis, and in no
instance did he fail in pointing out the true
nature Of the disease. sH
I was gratified with the frankness he mani
tested to his patients, as l heard him say
Your lungs are badly diseased, and L doubt
my ability to cure you; you should prepare for
the final change" To another: VI our right
lung is diseased, but think 1 can cure YOU
To another: "Yeur disease is in the bronchial
complicated with hillary arrangement and
you can easily be cured" To an anxious mo-
Their who had brought her daughter, pale,
emaciated young lady, he said: 81 am happy
to inform you that there is no disease of the
lungs; it is all in the stomach and liver with
which disordered &C n lition the lungs have
sympathized, and your daughter can be cured"
Never shall forget the grateful look of that
mother, as the tears coursed down her cheek
and she EXCLAIMED, God bless you, D0ctor!,'
The Doctor entered into a datailed state
ment of the modus Operdndi of his medicines,
and explained how he cured consumption,
dyspepsia and liver com 5laints, and found his
rinSiples We're not only based upon correct
medical science, but upon the principle also OF
good common sense. The Mandrake Pills are
composed of peculiar combination of the ac-
tive principle of the POdophyldm Pelictum or
Mandrake, with other valuable remedies, so
that they act npOn the disorders of the liver
with as much certainty as calomel or blue pill,
without any OF their injurious or enervating
influences, and are evidently the best, and, per-
paps, the only substitute for the mercurial
preparations ever discovered. They not only
act upon the secretion of the liver, but also.
by eir Alternative properties they act pom, and
restore to a healthy condition, all the secre-
tons of the stomach and bowels which are con-
cerned in the process of digestion. l saw evil
dences before me where the organs had been
renovated, as it were, by the Mandrake pills,
and the result was a good digestion and with
proper, care and food, the food was digested
and the nutriment absorbed by the lactea1s-
good blood was made therefrom. and health
and strength and muscle we're given to the pa
tient.
q In the Doctors extended experience he found
what all medical men know to be true, that at
ter the secretions restored to a healthy con-
ditiOn the organs are often feeble, and need |
help to enable them to perform their functions |
properly The Seaweed Tonic is the remedy |
for this purpose. AS its name implies, it is a |
vegetable tonic, and gives tone and strength to |
s se organs, and hence healthy digestion |
