WHY DIR. SCHENCK CURES so
MANY SICK PEOPLE.

details and statistics given in this connection,
this rather strong statement would be more
than demonstrated. We,do not propose to do
this, since it would not only require columns,
but whole pages of newspapers. OF the great
fact itself, however, there can be no doubt as
we have just intimated. In general way we
base our assertion on the following points,
1st. DR.. Schenck sees more patients than
any other physician in the United States.
I'd. He has a larger daily experience, and
investigates greater variety of diseases.
Sd. His system of cure is based on nature
and common sense.
4th. He has none Of the delusions and pre-
judices of the old-school doctors.
9Th. His medicine takes immediate effect
upon disease.
9th. He knows what and where diseases are
before he begins to rout them.
Upon this briefly drawn platform, and with
his remarkably efficient medicines, there are
comparatively few who seek DR.. Schenck that
are not cured, or, at all events, very much
improved. 1t is the commonest occurrence in
his practice that patients are restored to health
without any apparent special difficulty; and
such patients are very often those whom
other physicians, after trying their best in
vain, had given up as hopeless. 1t may be
that DIR. Schenck cannot cure ALL who go to
him, but it is an established fact that the per-
centage is very large-so large, indeed, as to
make broad line, if not very wide gulf of
distinction between his system of cure and all
others before the public. If curious and
inquiring public were disposed to visit his
Office, No. Is n Sixth street. corner of Com
merce street, any Saturday, they would have
ample proof that the sick are pretty well de-
cided what physician had best be consulted;
and the same public would also be likely to
see scores of people made well under his treat
ment.
DR.. Schenck has a wonderful facility, or
faculty, or intuition, or whatever else it may
be termed, in finding out disease and getting
hold of it. One would think he saw at once
into the human system, discovered the working
of every organ, measured its functions and
comprehended precisely what was necessary
to put it into healthy condition. Patients
are not little astonished at the Doctors
power in this respect, but undoubtedly it is
the result of a lifelong experience, conducted
on thoroughly scientific principles. 1t is the
knowledge how to do thing that constitutes
the difference in men. The trouble with
majority of physicians unquestionably is that
they start wrong and at every step get
further from true method of curing disease.
Not so with DR.. Schenck. Why he cures so
many folks is that he knows exactly their
ailments, and he knows also Just as exactly
how to dislodge and drive out disease. In
such complaints as consumption, catarrh,
those affecting the liver, stomach, etc., he
meets the issue squarely; in other words, he
takes them directly in hand, instead of the
ind pU11lar pSnprimQntal
manner commonly pursued. 1t is the storm
ing of the citadel that wins victory, not the
feeble sllirmish at distant points. Consump-
ton, for instance, is treated by DIR. Schenck
as a durable disease, and in eight cases in ten,
even those of the desperate character which so
largely 90 to him he finds no difficulty in curing.
He begins by giving strength to the patient,
instead of the opposite course almost invari-
ably pursued. The stomach and liver are
put to work to help the lungs, and the poor
lungs are not compelled to do duty when
barely able to do any.
The reader, if sick, or having friends that are,
can Judge whether it is worth while to have
an interview with DR.. Schenck. If health is
the blessing which most people discover after
it is lost, its restoration, most assuredly, de-
serves all possible effort. But it is quite evil
dent that no effort, unless in the right direc-
ton, will be of use, and may be disas trous, so
perilous are most of the medical systems.
sent to an untimely grave by false and cruel
medical practices Every graveyard is a
mournful attestation of this fact. Nature is
ever ready to be assisted, and only those sue

shining side. DR.. Schenck, pining and almost
disconsolate on a bed, doomed by the old
school doctors, thought and studied for him
self, and the light therefrom revealed new
order of things. That order not only made
him new and strong and of abiding faith, but
thousands of others, through his wise advice
and marvellous medicines. Could the array
