The Cause and Cure of Consumption.

The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
lnent of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation mean that process by which the ntl-
trimeut of the food is conve rted 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 be Very liable 10 have Consumption OF the
Lungs IN of its forms; and hold that it will
be Impossible to cure any case of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very first thing to I've done is to
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucus and slime which is clogsins 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
>chenek's Mandrake Pills: These ri Is cleanse the

Pulmoric syrup. The Pulmonc syrup nourishes
The stem, purIsz the blood, and is readily alb

10 the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid

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 W good appetite and good diges-

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 aud strengthen it, get UP good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear
the system OF all the disease thai is in the hangs,
whatever the form may be.
1t is important that while using ScheBek's ypeAi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold
keep indoors IN cool and amp weather. avoid
night air and take ont door exercise only in gent.
al and warm sunshine.
wish it distinctly understood that when recon-.
mend patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold while usin, my medicines, do so for n special
reason. man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable to a
relapse than one who has been entirely cured and
1t Is precisely the same in regard to consumption.
so long as the lungs not perfectly healed Just
long Is there imminent danger of full return OF the
disease. Hence it Is that so sttenuousy caution
pulmonary patients againt exposing themselves to
an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant.
Co"iirmed consumptlves' lungs are mass of sores,
which the least change of atmosphere will nlame.
The grand secret of my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
OF provoking 1t, as many of the faculty do An IN

utmost caution should be observed in this particu-
lar, as without it under almost any circunl-
stances is an iIposslbility.
The person should be kept on wholeso ne and
nutricious diet, and all the medicines continued
until the body has restored TO it the natural quanti-
ty OF flesh and strength.
