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 consumptive pa
tens it must do great injury; for its tendency is to
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 the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the body
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schencks Pulmonc Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cines which operate in this way, it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is ac-
companed by full directions. DR.. Schencl is pro
fessionalS at his principal office, corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
