tell you, she did! 1 got on my feet and
waited till I could jist cleverly reach

ever you saw a skeered bar—and 1 was
mad, by thunder, I was, She took me
foster than any railroad car, twell she
landed me about ten foot from the roof i
of the stump, flat on my belly, she did.
Oh man! I was mad! but sort a stuntifi-1

Old Death, she was clean outen sight,
and a running. Now this is the truth;
and I carried them two cubs home, I

THE GREAT CURE
20 00
CIIAS, G..JOHNSON,
of Bristol.
Who was pronounced incurably fixed in
the last stage of Pulmonary Con
sumption, by two skillful Phy
sicians.
Mr. Johnson was rescued from death's door
by the use of Schnook's l'ulmonic Syrup—hav
ing been prostrated ail winter, His case was
witnessed by several of the most respectable
citizens of this state, whose names are append
ed to bid Certificate. Read ! Read ! and be con
vinced that Schnecit'o Pulmonary Syrup is the
only certain cure for Consumption.
Bristol, Bunks county, Pa.
Sept. 21, 1849.
Do. J.II. Scnarscu, —Dear Str,--I am induced
from a sense of justice towards you, as well as
duty to the public, to make known ono of the
most hopeless and extraordinary cures, in my
own person, that you have ever had the pleasure
torecord. Indeed, I regret my inability to por
tray, in truthful colors, my consuming disease,
and the remarkable chance which Schneck's
Pulmonary Syrup effected ih so short a time.
I woe taken some time pravious to December
1848, with a heavy cold, producing incessant
coughing, accompanied with acute pain in the
right aids, pains in the back, under the right
shoulder, having heavy night sweats, high fever.
&c., which made me so nervous and restless as
to produca utter'prostration. AII these afflictions
increased with such violence, that on the 4th of
January Mat I sent for my family physician. He
attended me faithfully, and prescribed every thing
that medical skill could suggest, but without ef
fect. I found myself gradually growing worse,
and my hopes of recovery lessening as my dis
ease increased. My cough became distressing ;
my pains severe; and, extremely debilitated, I
lost all ambition in life, and gave up to a melan
choly depression. My physician examined me,
and informed me I had an obsess on the upper
part of my liver and lower part of one of my lungs.
Notwithstanding all this skill, I grew worse, but
with that tenacity with which we all cling to life,
I concluded to have nothing undone, and called
in a consulting physician, who fully concurred
with my own, and pronounced'my case on ex
tremely critical one. I - Ic thought I was in im
minent danger---saying my disease "was one the
to seldom if ever cured." All this time I was en
during sufferings that made life burdensome ; ex
periencing great pain in coughing ; expectora
ring from a pint to a quart of nauceous matter
every 24 hours, and gradually sinking under the
weakning progress of m y discus. At this stage
of my illness, my friends in Bristol suggested
the use of Schneck's Pulmonic Syrup. but know
-1 ing the many expedients resorted to for the pur
-1 pose of draining money from the afflicted, I hes
itated. My friends, however, insistang, I was
prevailed upon to try its virtues. I commenced
taking the Syrup about the first of March, and
used several bottles before I had any confidence
in it. I then began to experience a charge for
tha better, and continued it till I had consumed
ten bottles, when I was so far relieved as to be
able to visit Dr. Schneck in Philadelphia. He
examined me, and pronounced my right lung af
fected, but in a healing cob WM. He recom
mended the further use of the Syrup, which I
continued till 1 consumed 15 bottles, and found
myself oltfe &ate resfoted to health. I will fur.
ther adtl,th at the consulting physician, seeing t ha
i action of the medicine, fully approved its use.

To give the reader some idea of the severity
of my case, and the rapid cure affected by the
Syrup, I will state that my usual weight in
health was 177 pounds, which woe finally re
diked by my sufferings to but 121 pounds. Yet,
on the first of this month, (September,) I weigh
ed 174 pounds, thus gaining in a few months 53
pounds, and within three pounds of my heaviest
weight. It is not in my power to convey, in the
short space of this certificate, the convincing
proofs of my remarkable cure, or the particulars
of the at, , onizing afflictions through which I have
passed ; out to those *lto will take the trouble to
call on me, at Bristol, opposite Pratt's hotel, I
shall take pleasure in detailing every particular.
In conclusion, I deem it my duty to urge upon
every person who may have the premonitory
symptoms of this fatal disease, not to delay one
hour, but to call upon Dr Schneck immediately.
His skill in the treatment of this complaint, and
prompt deiection of diseased parts of the lungs
by means of his Stethescope, added to to own
miracu'ous cure, fully satisfies me, that had I ear
lier submitted myself to his care, I should have
escaped much suffering ; but restrained by doubts
and suspicion, which make us all naturally skep
tical in regard to the virtues of a medicine when
first introduced. I resisted the importunities of
my friends till almost too late ; and yielded only
as a last resort, resolved to " kill or cure." To
those afflicted as I have been, again let me say,
hesitate no longer, my own case is presented to
you as convincing evidence, that when all else
fails your last hope is in Dr, Schneck'sPulmonic
Syrup. I have also for the satisfaction of those
who may he strangers to me, appended to this err
tificate the names of gentlemen well known in
the walks of public and private life, and whose
standing in society admits of no cavil or doubt in
regard to their testimony.
CHARLES 0, Joinsrsolir.
We the undersigned, resident. of Bristol and
vicinity, are well acquainted with Mr. Johnson,
and know hint to have been afflicted as he states
above. We also knew that Ito used Schneck's
Pulmonic Syrup, and have every reasou to be
lieve, that to this medicine he owes his preserva
tion from a premature grave. The known in
tegrity and posPion in society of Mr. Johnson
however is a sufficient guarantee to the public of
the truth of this statement.
