question would be regarded as a very simple one
and scarcely requiring an answer, for the reason
that the advantages Of life insurance 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 find 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

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

q hacking cough, a hectic cheek cold and olammy
night-sweats, and other distressing symptoms
which are the almost certain forerunners OF deep

roughly ingrafted into the system, can be removed
only by the use OF special remedies and the observ-
ance OF precautions the very opposite Of those usu-
ally given by physicians
Many years ago these thoughts suggested them
selves to the mind Of DIR. JOSEPH II. SCHENCK, now
OF Philadelphia, but at the time OF which we speak
a resident Of New Jersey. Himself a confirmed
eonsumptve, and with little hope OF recovery,
but with suficient love of life to prompt him to
make enert to live, he patiently and thoughtfully
applied himself to the scientific study OF the disease,
which was silently, but nevertheless surely bearing
him to the grave.

was prescribed but all in vain. The ruthless disease
Continued its fast hold upon him, and 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, again ex-
pectiDg to see him alive. But DR.. Schenck, i'll he
wss, and hopeless as seemed his case, did not yield
to despair. Weak and prostrated, and physically
unable even to walk across the room, his mind
was still active. He believed that God had not sent

and, through friends and Visitors continued to make
unceasing inquiries for Certain herbs and roots the
virtues Of which he understood had been Isatisfac-
torily proved In cases OF pulmonary disease. His
patience and perseverance, were at length rewarded

but their healing qualities were present notwth-

better was perceptible. The tough mucus that

began to leave him. Friends beheld the change
with amazement; his wasted limbs regained their

and the happy result was that he

for his narrow escape from certain death, he re-

and devote the remainder OF his days to efforts to
alleviate the suferings OF his fellow creatures As
would be natural his principal attention directed
to the subject OF Pulmonary Diseases. The most
eminent physicians in the country had assured him
that
CONSUMPTION COULD NOT CURED,
and that he, being a consumptive. mus die! But
there he WAS a living, breathing refutation OF the
assertions OF these learned men. He that was given
up the hopeless victim of the most dreaded OF all
diseases stood up before the world
STOUT, STRONG MAN,
and such he is to-day, though thirty-hve years have
elapsed since his miraculous restoration to health.

others. Why should not others be rescued from
premature grave as have been? Why should not

my life save the lives OF thousands OF my fellow
beings who 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
PULMoEIC SYRUP
IN form attractive and palataole to the taste
that patients take it regularly for long period with
out becoming nauseated by 1t. Hearing OF his re-
markable cure, hundreds and thousands OF patients
iocked to 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 single medicine, DR.. Schenck
