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.. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup as cure for Con-
sumption, far exceeds al that can be brought to
support the pretcnsions of any otler medicine. See
Dr. Sch. nck's Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons OF the highest rcspectability, who
have been restored to health, after being pro
nouucel incurablc by physicians OF acknowledged
ability. Schcnck's PumOnic Syrup alone ha:
cured many as these evidences will show; but thu
cure is often promoted by the employment OF TIVE
other remedies which Dr. schenck provides for th'
purpose These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By tn
timely use of these medicines, according to direc
| tions. DR. Schenck ccrtifes that most any case o
| Consumption can be cured.

ofic,, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., philadelphia
