CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NoTICE.-Every moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends ON the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schencks Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for consumption far exceeds
all that be brought support the pretensions of
any other medicine. See DR.. Scheuck's Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of the
highest responsibility, who have been restored to
health after being pronounced incurable by physi-
clans of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many as these evidences viii
will show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment of two other remedies which DR.. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use of these medicines, according to
directions, DR.. Schenck certies that most any case
of Consumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office,
Cor, Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Mon
day, where all letters for advice must be addressed.
