The Cause and Cure of Consumption.

The primary cause of Consumption is derangement
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. by assiDlla-
ton mean toar process by which the nntrI0eut OF
the food is converted into FLOOD, and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thua I'M
paired, having the slightest predisp Jsion to pull
monary disease, or II they take Geld Will bevery Ii
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some OF
its forms; and hold that will be impossible to cure
any Consumption without first restoi ing good
digestion anu healthy assimilation. 1he very urst
thug TO be done is to cleanse the stoma' and
from all diseased mucous and slime which is rlogg ing
these organs so that they cannot perform their unc
tons. and then rouse up restore Inc liver to a
healthy action For this purpose, the ard best
remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pulls These Pills
cleanse the stomach and towels OF all The dead and
morbid slim that is using disease anu Cecay in the
whole 81 sem. They will clear out the liver OF all
diseased bile that has accumulated there AID arouse
it up to new aud hea ty action, by wh h natulal
ana healthy bile is secreed.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus ceansed by
the use OF Sch nck's Mandrake Pills; bat there re-
mains 10 the stomach an excess OF acid. the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is In tie els the
lacteas are weak and require strength and support.
1t is in condition like this that scllenck's Seawed
Tonic proves to he the most valuable remedy ever
discovered. IL is alkaline and lis will neuralize
all excess OF acid. making the s.omach sweet and
fresh; it will give permanent tone to t0is inpo tant
organ and create good, hearty appetite, and pre-

cure most cases OF Consumption is the Tree and per-
severing use of Schencks Puimonc Sy,up. The
Pulmonlc Syrup isles the system, purlies the
BLOOD and is readily absorbed into the circulation.
and thence distributes to the diseased lungs. There
it ripens all mcrbld matters, whether in the form of
assesses or Iubercles, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the torn OF free
pectoation, when once it ripens. 1t is then, by the
great healing and purifying properties Of Schenck's
Pulmonc SyIup hat all ulcers and cavities he al
g up sound and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Consump
