ANOTHER ADDRESS BY OR. SCHENCE.

hahOFoI sIIeet yesterday, on the occasion OF
his weekly visit. AS usual, there was great
rush of patients, coming from almost every
portion of New England. The Doctor, who
is wise and shrewd, saw at a glance what
could and what could not be done in the few
remaining hours of the day, and entering the
reoeption-rooms, proceeded to address those
present, giving, as will be seen, some very ex-
cellent counsel. The Doctor deals in common
sense makes plain statements, and knows
what he says. He spoke as follows:-
Ladies and Gentlemen:-I see there are more
here than / can properly attend to- and so
must try and manage it to get number of
you at a time. Many of you only want a
little advice. You have seen me before. Some
of you, suppose, have come long distance,
and are apparently too feeble to wait your
turn. Those that wish a thorough examina-
tiOn with the Respirometer l will take into
my private room as soon as possible. My
charges are five dollars for an examination.
can listen to your lungs and tell pretty
well their condition, but if you want to know
their exact state-whether it is Bronchial
Tuberculous, Pleuritic, or Pulmonary Con-
SUMPTION and whether you are durable
or nOt-you must be examined with the
Respirometer. 1t is the only proper way of
auscultating. Consumption can be cured;
lungs deeply diseased can be healed up if the
system is got into healthy, healing condi-
ton. The course pursued by the majority of
physicians is all wrong. They never cure.
Their Cod Liver Oil and Whisky only ruin
the stomach. frequently, in riding in the
cars, get seated by consumptives. They have
all their traps for drinking with them, and as
soon as they get into spell of coughing they
take drink of whisky. And so they go on,
and many drink quart a day Take a
well man and let him drink in this way and
he will soon lose his appetite. My first
step is to cleanse the stomach and liver, and
then to create an appetite. Many of you
have a cough, night sweats, creeping chills,
and you all want to have them stopped. You
think you would be so much better. Now
stop nothing. The cough is to relieve the
lungs. If your lungs are diseased, the first
and only thing to be done is to get the strength,
and the only way to do that is to cleanse the
stomach and liver. If both lungs are not too
badly affected, with my Mandrake Pills, Sea-
weed Tonic, and Pulmonic Syrup l can fire.
quently effect the most wonderful cures of
Consumption. A cure frequently requires
gentle purging for some length of time, to get
the stomach and liver to act naturally. AS
soon as the mucus and slime begin to move,
the appetite begins to come up. The Seaweed
Tonic being an alkali, preserves the food in
the stomach until it is digested, preventing it
in oil oil nj
lung disease, the action of the system is so
slow that food lies in the stomach and sours.
Blood is made of it after it is spoiled; and
this is the way our blood gets thick and
bad, Canker, Sore Throat, and Catarrh
proceed from this sour stomach. Burning
of the throat with Caustic and gargles affords
only temporary relief. 1t should be treated
the same as when the tongue is coated, or
sick headache. The cause is the same. My
Pulmonic Syrup goes right to blood when
the stomach is kept right with the Pills and
Tonic. Now l wish you to understand that
l have no special remedies for Chills or
Night Sweats. AS soon as the lungs begin to
heal these will stop; but if opium, quinine,
and many other things which are used to
stop them thus go right into the
stomach and get it so deranged, digestion
stops. This is the very thing am trying to
restore. If l cannot get patients hungry,
and get food to digest easily, cannot cure
them. Get up good appetite eat good, rich
food fat meat, gravy-in fact, nearly every
thing the appetite oraves-and the lungs
will soon begin to heal No matter whether
the sore is inside or outside, if the system is
healthy it will heal up. You can hardly stoI
it. 1t is nature to heal. You may notice
persons that have Scrofula, or any old
chronic running ulcers; they are all of q
feeble or bilious condition, their digestion is
poor and they have not healthy circulation
of blood. Some three or four years ago lady
Mrs Bartholomew, came to my room, No. 81
Bond street, New York; she had a tumor
with two running ulcers on her liver, which
had been running for fourteen years; and they
kept getting worse. She was Costive, Skin
yellow, very stupid and dull, liver ant
stomach torpid, and no circulation. Ii
three months ran the disease all out of her
The ulcers healed and she is now bright
healthy woman. Now there is one yer,
important matter to be attended to in curing
Consumption, and that is, to prevent takin
cold. Your physicians tell you to go on
every pleasant day. This, in my opinion,
