am iully aware that there are many persons
whose preJudiees 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 circpm-
stances, could be prevailed upon to admit their
merits, simply because such an admission wopld
prove detrimental to their particular personal
interests

An ounce OF solid fact is worth a pound of
theory. Let me, therefore, present the facts
connected with my own individual experience.
Many years ago was n confirmed consumptiye

given up to die. Eminent physicians pro-
nounced my case hopeless one, and told me
fnal solemn event, that had better make them
specify. l believed this just as confidently as
did the persons who thus affectonately informed
me that my days were numbered and that re-
SG:overy was impossible. Still, the desire to live
fingered in my bosom. 1 was young, and clung
to life with the same tenacity that young men,
and Old men too, ordinarily do. did not feel
willing to abandon hope as long as single YES
tige OF 1t remained. l had full faith in the sad
information conveyed to Inc by my physicians
bat still there was lingering belief that some-
thing could be done, though knew not in what
direction to seek for the much-desired relief
1t was at this gloomy and eventful period of
my history that / first learned of the roots and
herbs from which my remedies for this dreaded
disease are now prepared. l procured and used
them, and, to the utter amazement of all-phy-
5lclans, friends, and neighbors-began to i'm
prove. My entire system commenced to undergo
! complete renovation. Expectoration, which
formerly had been difficult and painful, now be-
came comparatively easy. / threw off daily

and which was at the same time nutritious and
wholesome. EXpectoratiou became less copious
and less offensive; eXhausting night sweats
ceased; the racking and harassing cough abated:
the fever broke: the pain departed flesh planted
itself on my sadly-wasted Frame and with flesh
came strength and full health. From a mere
skeleton became stout, strong, robust man,
and have maintained both strength and flesh
to this day. l weigh two hundred and thirty

are amply equal to all the requirements of a
healthful condition of my system.
Now, be it remembered all these wonderful
changes were wrought by the use of the medi-
cines l prepare-MANDRAKE PILLS, SEA-
WEED TONIC, and PULMONIC SYRUP. A
cure seemingly so miraculous naturally created
astonishment in the minds of those who knew

visitors daily who besought me to give them the
which had wrought the wonderful
and had wrested me from the very
Jaws of death. Letters were received by scores
me to impart the secret and inform
the writer's where the specifics for consumption
could be obtained. Others who were too weak
to travel, not satisfied with writing sent for and
consulted me in regard to their cases. To all
these applications l responded as ] was able

for the happy result prompted me to turn my
attention to the science of medicine, with the
hope of thereby being able to be of service to
my suffering fellow-creatures. / devoted myself
closely to my studies, and more especially to
that branch of them relating to the terrible dis
ease from which had suffered so long and SO

fellow-creatures were dying annually from con-
sumption whose cases were not as desperate and
hopeless as mine had been, and
argued from this that remedies which had proven
SO effective with me would prove equally so with
others. | prepared my medicines in a pleasant
and attractive form, and announced them to the
world. The results are well known. Thou
sands OF suffering men, women, and children,
who were on their way to the grave, have been
cured, and are to-day living evidences of the
fact that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED;
and l think l may say, without arrogating to
myself any more than is justly my due, that L
have had as much experience in the treatment
Of consumption as any other person in the coun-
try, and that my success has been wonderfully
great.
Let the reader remember that these are not
mere fancied statements. They are positive
