Consumption Curabic by Dr.
Schenclx's Medicines.


TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system must be
prepared SO that the lungs will heal To accom-
pish this the liver and stomach first be cleansed
and an appetite created for good wholesome food,
which, by these medicines will be digested properly,
and good healthy blood made thus building up the
constitution. SCHENC CK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
cleanse the stomach of all bilious accumu-
lations; and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic in con-
nection, the appetite is restored.
SCHENCK'S PULM0NIC SYRUP is nutritious
as we'll as medicinal, and, by using the three rene
dies all impurities expelled from the system, and
good wholesome blood made, which will repel all
disease. If patients will take these medicines ac-
cording to directions, Consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their action Take
the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach
1t does not follow that because the bowels not
costive they are not required for sometimes in di-
arrhea they are necessary The stomach must be
kept healthy, and appetite created to allow the
Pulmonic Syrup to act on the respiratory organs
properly and allay any irritation. Then all that is
required TO perform permanent cure Is, to prevent
taking cold Exercise about the rooms " much as
possible eat all the richest food-fat mSat, game,
and in fact, anything the appetite Graves; but be
particular and masticate we'll.
