hopeless and much depends on the judicious choice
of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
DR.. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup. as a cure for con-
sumption, far exceeds all that be brought to sup
port the pretensions of any other medicine. See Dr.
Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates Of
many persons Of the highest respectabty, who have
been restored to health after being pronounced in-
durable by physicians of acknowledged ability.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show but the cure Is often pro-
NOTED BY the employment Of two other remedies
which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. Ihese
additional remedies Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use OF these
medicines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck GER
titles that most any case of Consumption may be
cured.
Dr. Schenck will be at the Quincy House, Boston
the following Wednesdays, from to 3 O'Clock:
