CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
READ THE EVIDENCE.

alone that il is desired TO direct the attention Ot
the readers of this article.
MANY years Of severe and thorough practical
trial have demonstrated beyond the peradventurc
of a doubt the fact that the medicines prepared
by me and known as Schenck's Mandrake Pills,
sehenck's seaweed Tonic, and schenck's Pull
monte Syrup, have proved extraordinarily sue
cessful in the cure Of diseases Of the pulmonary
oryans. or what is usually termed Consumption.
/ am fully aware that there are many persons
whose prejudiccs rule them so completely that
"rroofs strong as Holy Writ" would fail to con
vince them Of the efficacy OF my rcmediesi and
that there are Others who, under no circumstan-
ccs, could be prevailed upon to admit their iner,
its simply because such an admission would
prove detrimental to their particular personal IN
tercsts.
Fortunately for the welfare Of mankind these
doubting people form a comparatively small p0r-
ton Of the community at large. They are to be
found here and there, but, compared with the
great mass Of the worlds population, their mum
6crs are 90 small that dismiss them, and address
myself to those who are willing to listen To tht
dictates of reason and who are disposed to admit
the strong logic OF weil-estabtishcd facts.

An ounce Of solid fact is worth pound OF
