DIR. schenck's Standard Remedies.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENcK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SCHENoK's SEA-
WE'D TONIC, and ScHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS
and If taken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck, OF
Philadelphia his unIvalled success in the treat
ment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expecora
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schensk's
Mandrake Pills and Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if is taken prevent
fresh cold. ~
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck either per-
sonally by letter, do his principal office
corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.
