CONSUMPTION CAN Be CURED.
READ THE EVIDENCE.

Facts are stubborn things" and it is TO facts
alone that it is desired TO direct the attention of
the readers of this article.
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 SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS, SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC, and
SCIIENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, have proved
extraordinarily successful in the cure OF diseases
of the Pulmonary organs, or what is usually
termed CONSUMPTION.
am fully aware that there are many persons
whose prejudices rule them SO completely that
'proofs strong as Holy Writ" would fail 10 con-
vince them of the efficacy of my remedies; and
that there are others who, under no circum-
stances, could DC prevailed upon to admit their
merits, simply because such an admission would
prove detrimental to their particular personal
interests.
Fortunately for the welfare of mankind, these
doubling people form a comparatively small
portion 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 are so small that dismiss them, and ad-
dress myself to those who are willing TO listen to
the dictates OF reason, end who are disposed TO
admit the strong logic of well-established facts.
We are told almost daily that Consumption,
the scourge Of he American people, is ineurable;
that n man whose lungs are diseased must be
oiyen over to ole; that he must abandon hope;
and that the arrangement OF his temporal as well
as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten-
ton If there were not facts as undeniable as
that the sun will shine In clear heaven at mid
| day to controvert these random and not untre-
! ouently harmful assertions, l should feel un-
! willing to take up the gage OF Datte agaiinst
| them; but, fortified with results-fdcts which
