BY DIR. j. II. SCHENCK, NJ. d.

SY- TIE CAUSE AND CURE OF con.
SUMPTION,-The primary cause OF Consump.
ton is arrangement of the digestive organs This
arrangement pr duccs deficient nutrition and as
simllation By assimilation, Imcau that process
by which the nuirimcut OF the food IA converted
into blood and thence iufo che solids Of the body
Persons with DIGESTION thus impaired, having tho
slightest prcdsposition to pulmonary disease, or
If they take cold, will be very liable to have Con-
sumption of the Lungs in some of its forms and
hold that It will be impossible to cure any case
of Consumption without first restoring a good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing to be done Is to cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
are clogging these organs so that they cannot per
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to q healthy action. For this pur
pose, the surcst and best remedy Is Schenck's
Mandrake Pills These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels Of all the dead and morbid slime that
Is causing disease and decay in the whole system.
They will clear ont the liver Of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there and arouse 1t up to a
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile Il secrctcd.
The stomach bowels, and liver are thus clcanscd
by the use Of Schencl's Mandrake Pills but ther,
remains In the stomach an excess of acid the or
