These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures of Constmption than any other remedy known tothe American public. They are compounded of vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be fnjurious to the haman constitution, Other remedies advertised as cares for Consumption, probe bly contain opium, which isa somewhat dangerous drug iu all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which, of course, must make a cure impossible, Schenck Pulmosic 8yrup is warranted not to contain a parti- cle of opium; it is composed of powerful but harm- es herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach, ‘and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body These are the only means by which Consumption can be cured, nd as Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi- cines which operate in this way, it is obvious they ‘are the only genuine cure for Pul Consamp tion, Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is a0- companied by fell directions.
