why Or. Bchenck's Medicines are
so POPULAR,

Why is Schsnck's Pulmonio Syrup is such
general demand The answer is very simple
one: 1t is in demand because its healing pro
perties are greater than those possessed by any
other medicine in use for the cure of Consump-
ton. 1t puri6es the blood-one Of the hrst steps
towards curs. Without pure blood disease can
never be sradicated from the system. As well
expect water to up hilI of its own volitisn as
to cure consumption without complete purif-
cation of the blood. This is the peculiar pro-
perty Of DR.. SOhenek's Pulmonio Syrup. But
it does more than this. II not only purifes the
blood, but it allays irritation of the bronchial
tubes. 1t collects and ripens the impure mat
ters collected there, aud enables the patient to
threw them of by painless espectatien This
great syrup has another virtue. It possesses
nutritious qualities which give sustenance, and
consequently, strength to the invalid. Now
combine these three qualities, and you have an
| answer to the inquiry.
