SEA WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-Ihese
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known to
the American public. They are compounded OF
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious TO the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption,
probably contain opium, which is Il somewhat dan
gerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by con-
sumpive patients it must do great injury; for its
tendency is to conine the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make q cure impos-
sible Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not
to contain particle OF opium; it is composed OF
powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs liver, stomach and blood, and thus corrects
all morbid secrctiOns, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the only means
bys which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic anc
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which ope
rate in this way is obvious that they are the only
| genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Eact
