CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NoTIcE.-Every moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice Of remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor Of Dr. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for Consumption far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the pretensons 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 pronounced incurable by physi-
clans Of acknowledged ability. schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which DR.. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
By the timely use Of these medicines according t.
directions, Dr. Schenck certi6es that most any
| Of Consumption may be cured.
Dr.. Schenck is professionally at his principal Of
6ce corner Sixth and Arch Sts Philadelphia, ever,
Monday, where all letters for advice must be ad
dressed.
