Schknck's Pulmonic Syuci",

Schenck's Mandrake Pills.
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a conga will
occasion the death of the patient ; they lock up the
liver. slop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage
follows, and in fact.they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the couth.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
of iwo-thirde of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons comolaln of a dull pain In thu side, con
stipation, coated tongue, pain in the ehoulderhlade
feelings oi arow.-iness ana restlessness, tne rood,
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually orginated from a disor
dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver.
I Persons so affected. If they take one or two heavy
colds, and if the cough in tiiese cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid, and inactive, and almost before
thev are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and
uleemteil. the re-nlt. of which is death. I
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain opium or anything calculated to
check a cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gnstrie juices of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skiu sallow, or the
