    PREFACE. The undersigned, during a visit to Europe in 185Y, was so astonished by cures of advanced cases of Consumption, effected by the use of the Essentia Antiphthisica Lobethalii, that he continued his investigations upon the action of the remedy until he was perfectly satisfied that in many, very many cases, the Essentia Antiphthisica possessed an efficient and even specific heaHng power upon those afflicted with that dread disease. But as, for twenty years, he had been accustomed to treat and cure all diseases without the use of any drug whatever, his decisions were slowly and cau- tiously given in favor of Dr. Lobethal's method of treating Consumption and its allied diseases. The array of facts and cases was irresistible; and he finally became exceedingly anxious to be an instrument in extending the use of the remedy. He even became so far interested as to obtain from the discoverer the right of introducing it into the practice in America—a right which, to the Doctor's honor be it published, he would grant to none but physicians. The introduction of the Ess. Antiphthisica to the attention of physicians and the public was delayed, after the return of the undersigned to this country, principally because he did not wish to advocate its use in this country until well assured that it lost none of its virtues from the action of time or transportation, nor until he had satisfactorily determined that it was as potent to cure on the Western, as it had been proved to be on the Eastern Continent. Perfectly satisfied in this respect, the undersigned calls earnestly now the attention of physicians of every school, and of the suffering public, to the facts contained in this pamphlet, which attest the unparalleled healing virtue of the Essentia Antiphthisica in Consumption and Catarrhs. The countenance of the scientific and intelligent is confidently expected to re- sult from an impartial investigation of the merits of the case. In reo-ard to his claims upon the confidence of the public, the under- signed can refer, among many others, to the following high standing gentle- men. C. C. SCHIEFERDECKER, M.
