CONSUMPT VIS, TAKE NOTICE.

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicous choice
of II remedy. The amount of testimony in favor Of
DR.. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for con-
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine. See
DR.. schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons of the highest responsibility, who
have been restored to health after being pronounc-
ed incurable by physicians of acknowledged ablli-
ty- Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured
many, as these evidences will show; but the cure
is often promoted by the employment OF two other
remedies when Ir, Schenck provides for the pur.
pose. These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pulls. BY the time
ly use oil these medicines according to dlrec ions
DR.. Schenck certdes that most any case of Con.
sumption may be cured
