The primary cause of Consumption is arrangement
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produce
deficient nutrition and assimilation. By assimila-
zion lmean tDat process by which the nutriment OF
the food is converted into Hood and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus inn
paired, having the slightest predispositon to pul-
monary disease, or ii they take cold will be very Ii
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some OF
Its foms and hold that it will be impossible tocu
anycase Consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing to be done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels
from all diseased mucous and slime which is clogging
these organs 80 that they cannot perform their func
tons. add then rouse up and restore the liver to
healthy action For this purpose the surest and best
remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills
cleanse the stomach and bowels OF all the dead and
morbid slime that is causing disease and decay in the
whole sysem They will clear out the liver of all
diseased bile that has accumulated there and arouse
it up to new and heaty action, by which natural
and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver TINS cleansed by
the use OF Schsnck's Mandrake Pills; but there re-
mains in the stomach OF acid, the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is In the bowels the
acteals are weak, and require strength and support
1t is in condition like this that Schencks Seaweed
Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever
diScoveTed IL Is alkaline, and its use will neutralize
all excess of acd making the stomach sweet and
fresh; it will give permanent tone to this important
organ, and create good, hearty appetite, and pre-
parethe system for the first process of good digestion
and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Alter this preparatory treatment what remains to
cure most cases OF Consumption is the free and
seyering use of Schenck's PuImonic Syrup. The
Pumonic Syrup pouIishes the system, purifies the
blood and is readily absorbed into the circulation,
and thence distributed to the diseased lungs There
1t ripens all morbid matters whether in the form of
assesses or tuberces and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form of free
pectoIaton, when once it ripens 1t is then, by the
great healing and purifying properties of Schencks
Pumonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are heal

The essential thing TO be done in curing Consump-
