The primary cause of Consumption is dcrange-
ment OF the digestive Organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation
the nutrment of the food IS converted into
blood, and thence into the solids OF the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having
the slightest predlspostion TO pulmonary dis

the stomach and bowels from all diseased mucus
and slime, which is clogglng these organs to
that they cannot perform their functiOns, and
then rouse up and restore the liver to a healthy
remedy is schenck's Mandrake Pills. These
Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all the
dead and morbid slime that is causing disease

The essential thing to be done in curing Con-

This is what Sthenck's Medicines Will do to cure

clear the system OF all the disease that is in the
lungs, whatever the form may be.
