DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vegeta-
BILE ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution Other reme-
dies advertised as cures for Consumption probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptiye pa
tents it must do great injury; for its tendency to
confne the morbid matter to the system, which, of
course, must make cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain parti-
Gle of opium 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the bo6v
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi
cines which operate in this way, it is obvious thew
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
tion Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is ac
companied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is pro
fessionay at his principal office, corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
| letters for advice must be addressed.
