scheucR,g Pulmonie Syrup, Sea Weed

Schenck's Pul1nonie Syrup, Sea " eed
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly
celebrated and popular medicine have effected
revolution in the healing art, and proved the fall
lacy of several maxims which have for many years
ObstruCted the progress Of medical science, The
false suppositien that "ConsumptiOn is incurable'
deferred physicians from attempting to find RENE
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. 1t is proyed, however. that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED, and that 1t HAS BEEN
cured in very great number Of cases (some of
them apparently desperate onee) by SChenCk's Pul
monic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same
medicine in connection with SChenck Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or BOTH according
to the requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at one time TO be at the very gate of death,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope ess
and abandoned him to lis fate He cured by
the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery,
many thousands similarly affected have used DR.,
Schencks preparations with the same remarkable lie
success.
Full directions accompany each, making II not
absolutely necessary to personally DR.. Schenck
unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for
this purpose he is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts., philadelphia,
every Monday where all letters for advice must be
addressed.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all Druggists.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Fl: G. FARRELL's GENUINE ARABIAN LINI-
MENI 1s most extraordinary medicine, the truth
OF which is placed beyond doubt by the vast sales
OF the article and the many cures being daily per
formed by II, which previously had resisted all
other medicines and the skill of the best physicians
IN the world. 1t is composed of balsams, extracts
and gums peculiar to Arabia-possessing. in a can
centrated form, all their stimulating anodyne pen
etrating, uuctous and reyusive properties and the
same which, ages ago, used by the ''Sons of
the Desert, ,fwfth such miraculous success, in cur
ing tho diseases OF both man and beast.
Read the following remarkable cure, which should
of itself place
H. G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT
far beyond any similar remedy.
Mr.. II. G. Farell-Dear Sir; Actuated by q sense
OF gratefulness, l submit the following as an in
stance OF the utility of your great medicine, My
childt three years old, was suddenly attacked with
u terrible disease, which in less than six hours
Frustrated it to total helpessness, The limbs be-
came rigid that not Joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
Of feeling; the eyes fixed, partially closed ana al
together blind, following this deafness to all
sounds: the spine became contracted and curved
that when lying on its back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed, the child presented every ap-
pearance OF being dead. Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician called in, and for
three weeks he abored to restore it to feeling, but
all i'll vain, aIhou5 h it was bistered dozen times
and various rubefacient Linlments applied. con-
SultauOn OF physicians was then held, but to no
purpose, the case was then brought before the
Medical Society, but nothing Could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more. We then
commenced applying your Linimept freely over the
entire length OF the spine, and you may imagine q
parents JOY, when, after a few applications, re-
turning animation was apparent, ana it rapidly re-
covered with the exception of the sight, which did
not become perfect for near a month. The child is
cases of the same kind occurred previously in my
neighboorhood, all of which died when there is no
doubt If your Linimcnt had been used they would
have recovered. HENRY G. CLELAND,
