OF THE DISCOVERY AND WONDERFUL RFFE0Ts OF DR.

II man were asked why he insured his life, the
question would he regarded as very simple one
and scarcely requiring an answer, for the reason
that the advantages of life insurance are so univer
sally admitted that to doubt its utility would be to
fly IN the very face Of reason and common sense
Now, while we ind so many persons not only willing
but anxious, TO make provision for the family or
friends who are TO be left behind, how many thou
sands there are who are culpaby neglected. OF their
own health, and who, In some instances, for the
sake OF saving the outlay OF few dollars. and in
others from positive indifference, permit their lives
to be prematurely destroyed
II consumption were not disease as insidious
it is FATAL and il 1t were as is asserted by the med
cal faculty generally, INCURABLE, there would be an
apology for consumptives whe, day after day and
year after year. refuse to heed the warning given by
a hacking cough, a hectic cheek, cold and clammy
night-sweats and other distressing symptoms,
which are the almost certain forerunners OF deep
seated pulmonary disease, and which, when tho
roughly ingrafted into the system, can be removed
only by the OF special remedies and the observ-
of precautions the very opposite OF those
ally given by physicians.
Many years ago these thoughts suggested them
selves to the mind OF DIR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK, now
OF Philadelphia, but at the time OF which we speak
resident OF New Jersey. Himself a confirmed
eonsumptive and with little or no hope of recovery
but with sufficient love OF life to prompt him to
make effort to live, he patiently thoughtfully
applied himself to the scientific study of the disease
which was silently, but nevertheless surely, bearing
him to the grave.
THE BEST MEDICAL
attendance had been secured. Remedy after remedy
was prescribed, but all in vain. The ruthless disease
continued its fast hold upon him, aud he was sent
to Moorestown, N. J., to die. The last vestige of
hope had faded away. His friends, who from time
time visited him, bade him farewell, never again ex-
pectng to see him alive. But DR.. Schenck i'll as he
was, and hopeless as seemed his case did not Weld
to despair. Weak and Frustrated, and physically
unable even to walk across the room, his mind
was still active. He believed that God had not sent
diseases
WITHOUT PROVIDING REMEDIES,
and, through friends and visitors continued to make
unceasing Inquiries for certain herbs and rooJs,
virtues OF which he understood had been satisfac-
torily proved in cases of pulmonary disease His
patience and perseverance were at length rewarded
The long sought
HERBS AND ROOTS WERE OBTAINED
The preparations of these were crude and simple
but their healing qualities were present notwith-
standing. He took them regularly, adopted sys-
TEN OF plain but nutritious diet remained in his cham
Der, avoided draughts OF cold air, exercised within
doors to as great an extent as his impaired strength
would allow, and In little while cnange for the
better was perceptible. The tough mucus that
clogged the lungs and bronchial t1bes was now
freely and easily expectorated
APPETITE RETURNED,
and with 1t came strength OF body and cheerfulness
OF mind. Cough, fever, night sweats, and pains
began to leave him. Friends beheld the change
with amazement; his wasted limbs regained their
former r0tundity, his step became elastic and frm
and the happy result was that he
WAS RESTORED TO PERFECT HEALTH,
and is to-day man advanced in years, but hale
hearty, and strong and weighing over two hundred
and twenty-five pounds. Deeply impressed with the
for his narrow escape from certain death, he re-
solved 10 apply himself to the study OF medicine,
alleviate the sunerngs OF his fellow.creatures AS
would be natural his principal attention was directed
to the subject OF Pulmonary Diseases. The most
eminent physicians in the country had assured him
that
CONSUMPTION COULD NOT BE CURED,
and that he, being consumptive, must die But
there he was, living, breathing refutation OF the
assertions Of these learned men. He that given
up the hopeless victim OF the most dreaded or all
diseases stood up before the world
A STOUT, STRONG MAN,
and such he is to-day though thirty-hve years have
elapsed since his miraculous restoration to health
'The medicines that cured me will certainly cure
others. Why should not others be rescued from
premature grave as have been? Why should not
the healing virtues of and herbs that saved
my life save the lives OF thousands OF my fellow
bengsswho are the victims Of consumption" ?" Thus
reasoned Dr. Schenck as he applied himself to the
preparation Of his great remedies. After years Of
experiment he succeeded in perfecting his
PULMoNIC SYRUP
in form attractive and palatabe to the taste
that patients take 1t regularly for long period with
out becoming nauseated by 1t. Hearing OF his re-
marsable cure, hundreds and thousands of patients
nocked him for advice and medicine. These were
| supplied, and to-day there are many healthy men
and women living who owe their health and strength
wholly to
| DIR. sCHENCK's MEDICINES.
Not content with a single medicine, Dr. Schenck

the preparation OF Others 1t became necessary

great work Of restoring the system. While it drove

promoted. The bile and diseased slime which accu-

| All that was now needed was a tonic that would
give nerve and energy TO the s weak but perfectly

healthy, but flesn was wanted for the limbs, and
strength to carry 1t. Acting silently but powerfully
