CONSUMPTION.
ITS CURE AND ITS PREVENTIVE
BY DIR. J. II. SCHENCK, NJ. D.

~ THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON
SUMPTIoN.-The primary cause Of Consump-
tion is arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
similation. BY assimilation Imean that process
by which the nutrmcut Of the food IL converted
into blood, and thence into the solids Of the body.
Persons with Digestion thus impaired, having the
slightest predisposition TO pulmonary disease, or
II they take cold, will be very liable to have Con-
sumption Of the Lungs in some Of Its forms and
hold that 1t will be impossible TO cure any csse
OF Consumption without nrst restoring q good
digestion aud healthy assimilation. The very first
thing 10 be done Is TO cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
clogging these organs so that they cannot per.
form their functions and then rouse up and re-
storc the liver to healthy action. For this pur.
pose, the surest and best remedy Is Schcncks
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
aud bowels Of ali the dead and morbid slime that
iscausing disease and decay in the whole system.
They will clear out the liver Of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there, and arouse It up to
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile 10 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 or.
gan Is torpid and the appetite poor In the bow.

and support. 1t Is in a condition like this that
Schenck's Seawecd Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. II 10 alkaline,
and Its use will neutralire all eIcess Of acid max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; II will give
permanent tone to this important organ, and Gre
ate good, hearty appetite, and prepare the sys
tenn for tho nrst process Of good digestion, ana
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. A.
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases Of Consumption IL the nee ana
persevering use Of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri.
Acs the blood, and 10 readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed TO the diseased
lungs. There 1t ripens all morbid matters, wheth-
er In the form of Assesses or tubercles, and then
assists Nature TO cxpel all the diseased matter In
the form Of free expectoration, when once 1t RI.
