DIR. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, SEA
medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy
known to the American public. They are COM
pounded of vegetable ingredients, and contain
nothing which can be injurious to the human
constitution. Other remedies advertised as
cures for Consumption, probably contain OPT
UNI, which is somewhat dangerous drug in
all eases, and if taken freely by consumptive
patients, it must do great injury; for its ten
dency is to confine the morbid matter in the
system, which. of course, must make a cure i'm
possible. Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup is war
ranted not to contain a particle of opium; 1t is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs,
which act on the lungs, liver, stomach, and
blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions,
These are the only means by which Consump-
ton can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
tile only medicines which operate in this way,
it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for
Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this
Invaluable medicine is accompanied by full di-
rections. DR.. Schenck is professionally at his
