CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
READ THE EYiDENCK.

the readers Of this article.
MANY wears 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 PMS,
schepck's seaweed Tonic, and Schonck's Pull
monte syrup, have proved extraordinarily sue
cessful in the cure of diseases Of the Pulmonary
organs, or what is usually termed Consumption,
am fully aware that there arc many persons
whose prciudices 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 crcumstan-
ces, could be prevailed upon TO admit their mer-
its, simply because such an admission would
prove detrimental to their particular personal IN
tercsts.
Fortunately for the welfare OF mankind, these
doubling people form comparatively small por-
tion of the community at large. They are to be
found here and there, but, compared with the
great mass Of the worlds population, their num-
bers arc SO small that dismiss them, and address
myself to those who are willing TO listen to the
dictates of reason, and who are disposed to admit
the strong logic of well -establiahed facts
We are told almost daily that Consumption,
the scourge of the American people, is iDcurabIe;
that Il 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 h- 80 rvs. ~

there was a lingering belief that something could
be done, though knew not in what direction to
seek for the much desired relief.
1t WAS at this gloomy and eventfnl period OF
my history that first learned of the roots and
herbs from which my remedies for this dreaded
disease are now prepared, procured and used
them, and, to the utter amazement of all-physi
