CONSUMPTION CAN Be CURED.
READ THE EVIDENCE.

Many years of severe and thorough practical
trial have demonstrated beyond the peradventure
of doubt the fact that the medicines prepared
by me, and known as SCIIENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS, SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC, and
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, have proved

termed CONSUMPTION.
am fally aware that there are many persons
whose prejudices rule them so completely that
"proofs strong as Holy Writ" would fail to con-
vince them of the efficacy of my remedies; and
that there are others who, under no circun-

merits, simply because such an admission would
prove detrimental To their particular personal
interests.
Fortunately for the welfare of mankind, these

| great mass of the worlds population, their num-
| bers are so small that dismiss them, and adj

the scourgc OF she American people, is incurable;
! that man whose lungs are diseased must be
| given over to die; that he must abandon hope;
and that the arrangement of his temporal as well
as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten

that the will shine in a clear heaven at mid
day to controvert these random and not unfre-
quently harmful assertions, l should feel un-
willing. to take up the gage of battle against
them; but, fortified with results-fdcts which
neither theory nor mere assertion can overturn,

BE CURED, and that the medicines / prepare

connected with my own individual experience.
Many years ago was confirmed consumptive,
and, like thousands of other unfortunates, was
given up to die. Eminent physicians pro-

my history that first learned of the roots and

q complete renovation. EXpectoraton, which
formerly had been difficult and painful, now be-

large quantities of offensive yellow matter. At
the same time my long-lost appetite returned.
l ate freely of such food as was palatable to me,
and which was Mt the same time nutritious and
