CONSUMPTTVES

Et is now an acknowledged fact that CoNsUMP-
TIoN CAN BE CURED. 1t hae been cured in very
great number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by sehencks Pulmonic Syrup alone,
and in others by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills,
one or both, according to the requirements of the
case.
The old supposition that Consumption is incura-
ble," for many years deferred Physicians from
attempting to find a remedy for that disease and
patients afflicted with it reconcied themselves to
death without an effort being made to save them
from doom which was considered inevitable.
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at one time to
be at the very gate of DEATH his Physicians having
pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to
his fate: he was cured by the aforesaid medicines
and afterwards enjoyed uninterrupted good health
for more than forty years. Thousands of people
have used DR.. Schencks preparations 18th the same
remarkable success.
Schenck's Almanac, containing thorough treatise
| on Consumption Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, &C.,
can be had gratis of any druggist, or of j. H.
| Schenck g. Son, Philadelphia. Full directions for
| the use of Schenck's medicines accompany each
| package.
