CONSUMPTION.
ITS CURE AND ITS PREVENTIVE
BY DIR. J. II. SCHENCK, NJ. d.

~ THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
sUMPTI0N.-Thc primary cause Of Consump-
ton is arrangement OF the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
similatiou. by assimilation, Imean that process
by which the nutriment OF the food Is converted
into blood and thence into the solids OF the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having tho
slightest predisposition to pulmonary disease, or
II they takc cold, will be very liable to have Con.
sumption Of the Lungs in some Of its forms; and
hold that 1t will be impossible to cure any case
of Consumption without frat restoring a good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing to be done is to cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
ore cloggng these organs so that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to healthy action. For this pur.
pose, the surest and best remedy 10 Schenck's
Mandrake Pills These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels OF oil the dead and morbid slime that
iscausing disease and decay in the whole system
They will clear out the liver Of all diseased bilo
that has accumulated there, and arouse II up to q
new and healthy action. by which natural and
healthy bile is sccrcted.
The stomach, bowels and liver arc thus cleanscd
by the use Of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains In the stomach an excess Of acid, the Or
gan is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els, the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support 1t Is in q condition like this that
Schenck's Seawced Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline,
and Its use will ncutralizc all excess OF acid max
Ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t will give
permanent tone to this important organ, and ere
ate good, hearty sppcttc, and prepare the sys-
ten for the first process Of good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. AZ.
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases of Consumption Il the free ana
pcrseverng use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourshcs tho system, puri-
1es the blood. and Is readily absorbed into tho
circulation. and thence distributed TO the diseased
lungs. There 1t ripens oil morbid matters, wheth-
er in the form Of absccsses or tubercles and then
assists Nature TO expcl all the diseased matter In
tho form OF free expectoration, when once 1t RI.
pens II Is then, by the great healing and purify
ing properties OF Schencks Pulmonic Syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities arc healed up sound,
and my patient Is cured. ''
The essential thing to he done In curing Goa
sumption Is to get up good appetite and good
digsstion, - that the body will grow In flesh and
get strong. ia person has diseased lungs cav

matter cannot ripcn, so long as the system is be-
low par. What Is necessary to cure Is new or

that I so strenuously caution pulmonary patients
