Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of remedy The amount of testimony in
favor Of DR.. Schencks Pulmonic iSyrup, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions Of any other
medicine. Sec DR.. schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates OF many persons of the highest
respectabtlity, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incRrable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Sohenck's PuImonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences viii
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment OF two other remedies which Dr.schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional rene
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. BY the timely Use of these medicines, ac-
cording to directions, DR.. schonck certifes thai
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
