ihniIy physician, and had attended him in his
last illness, was called to see me. fIe thought

and decided that must die, and gave me- nne

WELL The great reason why physicians do not
cure Consumption is; that they try to do too
much; they give medicine to stop the cough TO
stop the might Sweats, hect ic fever and nv so
doing they dcrange the whole digestive system,
locking up the secretlonS, and eventually the
patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
aple a.. medicines known. 1t is nutrient, power
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws il Off with little exer-
cold; but it will be wen first to take a dose Of
SchencS,s MandralSe's Pills to cleanse the sto-
and absorbed into blood, to which it imparts it's
healing properties, 1t is one of the best prepa-
itself; and when the Seaweed Tonic dissolves
he mucus in the stomach, and Is carried OF by
the aid of the Mandrake Pills, II healthy flow Of

The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant and none
other Is required when IL is used. Ii is pure k
pleasant; no bad effects like when using Bour-
bon whisky, which disorders the stomach tor

the blood into water, dropsy sets in. and the pa-

Bourbon whisky is recomin ended now a-dnys
by almost every physician. Many patients that

feel weak and feeble they take n little whisky.
II they cannot sleep, they take little whisky
ana they go on in this way, requiring more and
they are getting fieshy. The stomach, liver and
igestlVe powers are completely DESTROYED and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
cured ofconsumpion by this process, where
'aNlties have been formed in the lungs. lit
Tie stimulant is frequently beneficial to con-
such as pure brandy or good wine:
N many cases London porter or brown stout In
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky has

The Scaweed Tonic produces lasting results
thoroughly invgorating the stomach and di-
scStive system, and enabling il to eliminate &
make into healthy blood the food which may

Medicines possess the power ofdoing.
The Mandrake Pills may be taken with entire
ifety by all ages and conditions, producing all
