From Mr.. Harley Il. Hopkins, of PrOvi-
dcncc, X. 1. He is Cured of Consumption
by DIR. ScIienck's Medicines, after being
given up to die by some of the best physi-
clans of the city.
DR.. J. II. ScHENcK:
Dear SRI have been cured of what three
of the best physicians OF this city told me Con
sumption of the lungs, by the use Of your medi
cines. | was first attacked with the disease in Oc-
tobcr, 1880, and although was from that time
continually under the care Of a physician grew
worse and worse until at last | was confined to my
bed. can hardly say that first attacked with
the disease in 1885, for my lungs had been weak
for many years previous to this, and would quite
often have severe pain in my breast if i took the
least cold or exerted myself too much in any way.
grew worse, my cough became very bad / had
night sweats so severe that my bed through the
night would be as wet as though water had been
thrown over me. was continually raising blood
and large quantities of offensive matter from my
lungs. and at last had all the well-known symptoms
of Consumption in its last stages.
At the request of my family, my physician called
in two other doctors of this city, and they after
examination agreed that my was hopeless.
They informed my wife that had better be told
that | coulc not live, my time would be very
short for arranging worldly affairs. They also said
that no medicine would be of any 10 me. The
next day my friend Mr.. Fl. l. Lelth. hearing of my
condition, sent me bottle of your Pulmonc Syrup,
thinking 1t might relieve my cough, and make my
expectora,ion easier. | began using it, even
hoping that it would cure me, but finding great
lief from its use; when the first bottle gone
sent and got more SO / continued it until l had
used seven eight bottles. All this time was in
bed and was so weak that had to be lifted. This
was not difficult thing to do, however, as | only
weighed about 90 pounds As have SAID, | Com
menced the use of the medicine with thought of
its curing me, but after taking the eight bottles
would sometimes feel little hungry, thing had
not before done for many months. | omitted TO
mention that after taking four or five bottles of the
Pulmonc Syrup, also began taking the Seaweed
Tonic and also took some of the Mandrake Pills.
Ii is needless for me to give you account of all
my feelings during my recovery. vi course II was
slow, but 1t was also sure; gradually gained
strength, the character OF what raised from my
lungs was changed, not being SO offensive, and at
las, was able TO get up and walk about my room.
From this time my, recovery was rapid. | gained
flesh fast and soon went out doors, and now, l am
entirely well, wonder to all my acquaintance who
saw me when was SO low.
weigh Io2 pounds, appetite good, and |
truly say that never felt better in my life. con-
They have saved my life and feel so thankful to
you thar | am anxious that all who suffering
with lung troubles should know how good they are
OF course, can give better account of my case in
telling OF II than m writing and IT any who read
this interested, they welcome to call on me
al my residence Yours Truly,
