+ HANEsvILLE, MEIGs Co., o., July 8, 1880,
DIR. ScHENCK:
Dear Sir-I write this to give you an ac-
count Of my case, and to ask II your medi-
cines will do me any good.
am forty-fve years Of age, and before this
sickness was strong, healthy man. am
six feet two inches high and broad shout
dered, my usual weight before my sickness
being about one hundred and eighty-siX
pounds. The first indication had Of any
disease was slight tickling in my throat,
which in week or so developed into hack
ing cough. This has continued for long
time and troubles me so much that cannot
sleep at night. Ihaye lost my appetite, and
from lack OF nourlshment have grown so
weak that l can walk but short distance
before l AIN completely exhausted and
obliged to lie down. | have great deal Of
roaring and wheeling in my breast, which
leads me to think that the bronchial tubes
are all stopped up. My bowels are usually
costive, and / have lost thirty or forty
pounds Of flesh.
Please let me hear from you soon. Your
medicines are not sold in this neighborlIood,
but If you advise me to use them will send
| to Gallipolis for them.
Yours truly, .u LEVI JACKS. #

| DIR. SCHENCK:
Dear Sir-Please excuse me for not writ
ing to you before this. You will remember
that when l wrote to you last July l was
very low with Consumption. AS soon as l
received your letter sent for the medicines
you told me to get, that is, your Mandrake
Pills, Seaweed Tonic and PulmOnc Syrup,
and began to use them as directed. soon
saw marked Improvement in all my symp-
toms, and after using them for some time,
1 was entirely cured. ] am now free from
all pain and trouble with my lungs, and
weigh more than ! ever did in my life.
am very thankful to you for your attention
to my case, and do not believe that |
should be alive to-day but for the timely use
of your medicines Consumption is in my
family, my father having died Of it at the
age Of forty; as well rs Several other mem
bers of my family. i advise all who have
Consumption or any Lung trouble to use
your remedies as j believe them to be the
best medicines in the world. Since my re-
covery, have been told by doctor that ha
did not know what was in your medicines,
but that they had cured me of Consumption,
/ Yours truly LEVI JACKS.

DIR. j. II. ScHENCK, Philadelphia:
Dear Sir-In May, 1879, caught heavy
cold, which gradually settled on my lungs,
causing great difficulty and pain in breath
ing. could not rest at night, being kept
awake by coughing. The loss Of sleep and
appetite at last reduced me very much
from 100 pounds, my usual weight when in
health, to 1873 pounds. / took the prescrip.
tons Of physicians, but they did me no good
One day while looking over the Cleveland
Herald, noticed that your medicines had
cured many cases that were at least as bad
as mine, and so concluded TO use them.
They were rather slow in their action at
first, but after had used them for couple
OF weeks, / saw that was getting better;
my appetite improved, the pain and diff
sculty in breathing was relieved, and after
using eight bottles felt that was restored
TO perfect health. L soon recovered my
former weight, and have been quite well
ever since. ] am satisfied that / owe my re-
covery entiTeE TO your Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.

NEW CASTLE, IND, Jan. q, 1881.
DR.. SCHENcK:
Dear Sir--My wifewas troubled with Lung
Disease, attended with weakness and pros
tration. l had doctors in New Castle and
Hagerstown attending her, but their skill
was of no avail. She did not grow any bet
ter under their care. She became so low
that there seemed to be no hope for her re-
covery, j then came across one Of your
pamphlets, and after reading OF the many
cures made by your medicines, concluded
to give them trial. So bought one bottle
each of your "Pulmonic Syrup" and "Sea-
weed Tonic, - which she used, and showed
such marked improvement that got more
OF the medicines. After using half dozen
bottles she became quite well and strong
again. Mywife has great faith in your med
icines, and she thinks there is nothing bet
ter in the world. We keep them always in
the house.
." Yours truly, J. Il. MILLER.
My wife's mother was seized with bleed
ing Of the lungs. She also used your Pull
monte Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, and, as in
my wife's case, the Pulmonic Syrup healed
her lungs, and she found the Seaweed Tonic
TO be possessed Of wonderful strengthening
properties. j. B. MILLER.

Dear Sir-In the fall of 1871 my son was

doctors Of this city pronounced his disease
Consumption. BY their advice took him
South, but the change Of climate did him no

The Town of Marshall, q pleasant
little hamlet in Michigan. is vastly ex-
cited just now over small red leather
pocket-book. The article in question
was found by the keeper of grocery
store Just after James Ruddick had left
the place. Hurrying out, he asked
Ruddick if the pocket-book was his, and
receiving an affirmative answer deliv-
cred up the property. A few minutes
later Jabez Gorham entered the store
and asked if a pocket-book answering
the description of the one given to Rud-
dick had been found. Learning that the
wallet had already been claimed and
taken, he swore out warrant for Rud-
dicks arrest, and the latter has been
held for trial. Both men are promi-
nent in the community and above sus-
picion. In fact, Ruddick not long ago
found a pocket-book containing 81, 400
and restored it to the owner. Both
swear positively to the ownership of
the property, over which a trial will
soon be had, and there is evidently a
very large African somewhere in the
fuel.

been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with a. per-

however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If its use Is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
