The Cause and Cure of Consumption

Z iAN va @AAc 1890 -
| The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
ment of the digestive organs, This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation ly
assimilation mean that process by which the nu,
| triment OF the food is converted INTO blood, ami
thence into the solids of the body. Persons with
digestion thus impaired, having the slightest pre-
disposition TO pulmonary disease, or II they take
cold will be very liable to have Consumption ottne

be impossible to cure any case OF Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very first thing to he done Is 10
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucus and slime which is clogging these organs so
that they cannot perform their functions, and 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
system They will clear out ne liver OF all diseased
bile that has accumulated there, and arouse it up
to a new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains in the stomach excess of acid, the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is poor. In the bowels
the lacteals weak, and requiring strength and
support 1t is in condition like this that Schenck's
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable
remedy ever discovered 1t is alkaline and ite use
VIII neuralize all excess OF acid, making the ston

this important organ, and create good, hearty ap
petite and prepare the system for the first process
of good digestion and ultimately make good
healthy living blood. After this preparatory treat
ment what remains to cure most cases of consump-
ton is the free and perservering use OF Schencks
Pulmoric Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes
the system, puriGes the blood, and is readily alb
sorbed into the circulation, AMI thence distributed
to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid
matters whether i'll the form of assesses or tuber-
ces, and then assists Nature to eNpel all the dis
eased matter in the form of free expectoration when
once it rpens. 1t is then by the great healing and
purifying properties ofSchenck's Pulmonc Syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound,
and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done IN curing Consump-
ton is to get up good appetite and good dges-
ton, so that the body will grow in flesh and get
strong. Ii person has diseased lungs, cavity or
abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the matter
cannot rpen, SO long the system is below par.
What is necessary 10 cure is a order OF things
good appetite, good nutrition, the body to grow
in flesh and get fat then Nature is helped the cav
tiles will heal the Uatter will ripcn and be thrown
of in large quantities. and the person regain health
and strength. This is the true and only plan to
cure Consumption, and II a person is very bad, II
the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one
lung is entirely gone, if there is enough vitality left
in the other to heal up, there is hope.
have seen many persons cared with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to good old age.
This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear
the system of all the disease that is in the lungs,
whatever the form may be.
1t is important that while using Schencks medi-
cines, should be exercised not to take cold
keep indoors in cool and camp weather; avoid
| al and warm sunshine.
l wish it distinctly understood that when recon.
mend patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold while using my medicines, do so for q special
reason man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable to
relapse than who has been entirely cured, and
it is precisely the same in regard to consumption.
So long as the lungs are not perfectly healed just
long is there imminent danger OF full retnrn ofthc
disease. Hence it is that so strenuously caution
pulmonary patients agant exposing themselves to
an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant.
Confirmed consumptives' lungs are mass of sores,
which the least change of atmosphere will intiame.
The grand secret of my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
of provoking it, as many of the faculty do. An IN
! famed lung cannot with safety to the patient be
exposed to the biting blasts of winter or the chill
| ing winds of spring or autumn Ii should be care
fully shielded from all irritating influences The
utmost caution should be observed in this partct-
| lar without il cure under almost any circum-
| stances il an i.possibiliiy.
| The person should be kept on wholeso ne and
| nutricous diet, and all the medicines continued
until the body has restored to it the natural quanti
| ty of flesh and strength
| was myself cured by this treatment of the worst
kind ofConsumption, ana have lived to getf at and
hearty these many years, with lung mostly
gone. l have cured thousands since, and very
many have been cured by this treatment whom
have never seen.
About the first of October expect to take posses
sion of my new building at the northeast corner OF
Sixth and Arch streets, where shall be pleased to
give advice to all who may require it.
Fun directions accompany all my remedies, so
that person in any part of the world can be read
lily cured by strict observance of the same,
