READ TIRE EVIDENCE.

"FacLs are stubborn things" and it il to facts
alone that il is desired to direct the attention oi

Many years Of severe and thorough practical
trial have demonstrated beyond the peradyrnturc
of a doubt the fact that the medicines prepared
by me and known as Sohenck'. Mandrake Pills

myself to those who are willing to listen to the
dictates Of reason, md who are disposed to admit
the strong logic Of well-establishcd facts.
We are told almost daily that Consumption,
the scourge Of the American people, is lncurabloj
that n man, whose lungs are diseased, must be
given over to die; that lie must abandon hope,
and that the arrangement OF his temporal ~ well
as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest at
