Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, circa 1865

Joseph H. Schenck's medicines were advertised as cures for consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills were also promoted as remedies for dyspepsia and liver complaints. This trade catalog illustrated parts of the human lungs and bronchial tubes affected by different types of consumption. At the end were testimonials from people cured from near-death illnesses.
