DR. J. IL. ScHENCk:
Dear Sir-My son has been cured OF Consump'
ton by the use Of your medicines, and ! wish to
give you sp account OF his case. His sickness be.
gan with heavy cold, which soon brought on a
harsh, dry cough. This kept him awake nights
so much, that he became very weak from loss OF
sleep. Then he had night sweats, with great loss
OF flesh, pain in his lungs and he frequently raised
bloody matter from them. He was obliged to give
up all work, and afterwards was confined to his
room and bed for long time. He was advised
TO take cod liver OIL and did take several bottles,
but this seemed to take away what little appetite
he had, and make him worse generally.
At last, from reading in the papers OF the many
lures you had made in serious lung diseases, we
concluded to give your medicines trial. He took
the Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and Man
drake Pills as you direct, and ! believe that II is
due TO their use that my son is now alive and well,
he is now attending 10 his business as usual

mother erected a memorill to their
dead boy:
Sitting alone in his Office one day'a
strange gentleman entered, who
proved to be an officer in the army.
lie carried a little box in his hand,
and after some hesitation, said:
Il have favor to ask of you. l had
little boy, and I've lost HIM. lie
was all the world to me. When he
was alive my wife used to search my
pockets every night, and whatever
loose change she found, she would
put it away for the baby. Vel, he's
gone. Here is the box.
'We talked the matter over, and
came to the CONCLUSION that we could
not do better than 10 bring the money
to you to pay the fares of poor sick
children out Of town during the sum-
mer.
1t would please him to know that
he is helping to save the lives Of other
poor sick children. As soon as the
box is empty We will fill it. While we
live we will keep up the bank
The box has been twice cmptled
and filed, and hundreds of rich or
dying children have owed to this dead
baby their one breath Of fresh ali
