preternatural senstiveness which he cannot

Of testiness foreign to his real nature. These
are the mental phenomena of the disease Tor

CONSUMPTION.

The Three Remedies. "Schenck's PuImonic
Syrup" for the cure of Coughs Colds, Bronchitis
and every form Of Consumption. The peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt
matter by expectoration, purifes the blood and
thus cures Consumption. when every other rem
edy fails.
"schenok's sesweed Tonic" for the cure of
dyspepsia or Indigestion, and ell diseases aris-
ing from debility This tonic invigorates the
digestive organs, supplies the place of the gas
trio juice when that is deficient, and then enables
the patient TO digest the most nutritious food 1t
is sovereign remedy for al! cases of indiges-
ton.
"Schenck' Mandrake Pills" one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered being a veg
etable substitute for calomel, and having all the
useful properties ascrlbed to that mineral, with
out producing any of its injurious effects
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck. o
Philadelphia, owes his unrivsled success in the
treatment OF Puimonic Consumption. The Pull
monIe syrup ripens the morbid matter. dis
charges it, and purifies the blood The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstructions
theretrom, give the organ q healthy tone and
cure Liver Complaint, which is one of the most
prominent causes of Consumption.
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates the powers of
the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion
and bringing II to a normal and healthy condi-
ton improves the quality of the blood, by which
means the formation Of ulcers OF tubercles in the
l2ngs becomes impo ssible. The combined action
of these medicines as thus explained, viii cure
every case of Consumption, if the remedies
used in time and the of them is persevered
in sufficiently to bring the case to favorable
termination.
