rHE CAUSE AND CURE OF coNsUMpT1oN

THE CAUSE AND CUhE OE CONSUmflIOc6
The primary cause Of Consumption Is derangc-
nent Of the digestive organs This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By
-.ssmilation 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 II they take
cold, will be very liable to have Consumption o.
the Lungs In some OF Its forms; and hold that 1t
Will be impossible TO cure any case Of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion anc healthy
assimilation. The very first thing to be done Is to
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 clean the
stomach and bowels OF all the dead and morbid
slimethat Is causing disease and decay In the whole
system. They will clear out the liver of all diseased
bile that has accumulated there, and rouse 1t up TO
q 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 an excess Of acid, the
organ Is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els the lacteas are 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. It Is alkaline.
and It's use will neutralIze oil excess Of acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh: It viii give per-
manent tone to this important organ, sud create
a good hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process Of good digestion, md
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood.
After this preparatory treatment what remains
to cure most cases Of Consumption Is the ffee
and persevering use OF Schenck's Pulnonic Gyrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourlshos the system, puri-
fes the blood. and Is readily absorbed into the
