To these three medicines DR.. $. II.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled
success in the treatment of pulmonary dis
eases.
The pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid
matter IN the lungs; nature throws it of by
an easy expectoraton, for when the phlegm
or matter is ripe slight cough will throw il
on, the patient has rest and the lungs begin
10 heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup TO do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleans the
the stomach and liver Schenck's Mandrake
Pills act on the liver; removing all obstrue-
tons, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle slim
ulant and Alternative; the alkali Of which il is
composed, mixes with the food and prevents
souring. II assists the digestion by toninq
up the stomach TO a healthy condition. Sc
that the food and Fulmonic Syrup will
make good blood then the lungs heal
