The Cause and Cure of Consumption.

The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
ment of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation mean that process by which the nu-
triment of the food is converted into blood and
thence into the solids of the body. Persons with
digestion thus impaired, having the slightest pre-
disposition to pulmonary disease, or if they take
cold will lie very liable to have Consumption of
the Lungs in some of its forms; and hold that
it will be impossible t. cure any of Consump-
ton without fret restoring good digestion and
healthy assimilation. The ve.y first thing to be
done is to cleanse tho stomach aud bowels from
all diseased mucus and slime which is clogging
these organs that they cannot perform their
functions, and then rouse up and restore the liv-
er to a healthy action. For this purpose the sur
est and best remedy is Scbencks 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 system. They will clear
out the liver Of all diseased bile that has accumu
lated there, and arouse il up to new and healthy
action, by which natural and healthy bile is Sc
GREETED.
Inc stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleans
cd by the use of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but
there remains in the stomach an excess of acid
the organ is forbid, and tho appetite is Door In
the bowels, the lacteas are weak, and recurring
strength and support. 1t is in condition like
this that Schencks Seawced Tonic proves to be
the most valuable remedy ever discovered 1t is
alkaline, and its will neutraize all excess OF
acid, making the stomach sweet and fresh; it will
give permanent tone to this important organ and
create good. hearty appetite. and prepare the
system for the first process of good digestion and
ultimately make good healthy living blood AT
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains 70
cure most eases of consumption is the free and per
severing use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. The
Pulmonc syrup nourishes the system, purifes the
blood, and is readily absorbed into the circulation
and thence distributed to the diseased form of abs.
cesses and tubercles, and then assists Nature t.
expe! all the diseased matter in the form Of free
| expectoration, when once it rpens Ii is then
| by the great healing and purifying properties OF
Schenck's Pulmouic syrup, that all ulcers and
| cavities are healed up sound, and my patient il

The essential thing To he done in curing Con.
sumption is to get up good appetite and good

matter cannot ripen, so long as the system is be

This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cur
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach
sweeten and strengthen it, got up q good diges
ton, and give Nature the assistance she needs L
clear the system Of all the disease that is in tn
lungs, whatever the form may be.
1t is important that while using Schenck'
medicines, care should be exercised not to tax
cold; keep indoors in cool and damp weather
avoid night air, and take outdoor exercise onl,

wish it distinctly understood that when l rec
commend patient to be careful in regard t
taking cold while using my medicines, do s
for special reason. A man who has but partial
ly recovered from the effects Of bad cold is ia
more liable to a relapse than one who has bee
entirely cured and il is precisely the same in re
gard to consumption So long as the lungs ar
not perfectly healed, just so long is there immi
nent danger of n full return of the disease. Henc
it il that | so strenuously caution pulmonary pa
tients against exposing themselves to an atmos

grand secret Of my success with my medicines con
sists in my ability to subdue inflammation instea
of provoking ii, as many of the faculty do. A
infamed lung cannot with safety to the patien
be exposed to the biting blasts of winter tn
chilling winds of spring or autumn. 1t shout
be carefully shielded from all irritating influence:
The utmost caution should be observed in thi
particular, as without it a cure under almost an
circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome an
nutritious dict and all the medicines continue
until the body has restored to it the naturs
quantity of flesh and strength.
l was myself cured by this treatment of tn
worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to &c
fat and hearty these many years, with one lun
mostly gone. l have cured thousands since, an
very many have been cured by this treatmen
whom have never seen.
