DR.. Schenck's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's
SEA WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
and, II taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J. 81. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy eX-
pectorauOn, for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe slight cough will throw it off, the patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schencks Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions, relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the
liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative the alkaii of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
sistS the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good blood; then Ine lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get well If care
is taken to prevent fresh cold
All who wish TO consult DR.. SchenCk either
personally or by letter, can do at his principal
office, corner of SIXTH and ARCH SIS, Philadel
phia, every Monday
schencks medicines are sold all druggists
throughout the country.
