The Cause and Cure of Consumption.

/ The Cause ana turc OF Consumption.
The primary cause Of Consumption is derange-
ment Of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation 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 if they take
| cold, will be very liable to have Consumption of
the Lungs in some of its forms and hold that
it will be impossible to any case of Consump-
ton without first restoring 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 is clogging
these organs so that they cannot perform their
| functions and then rouse up and restore the liy-
or to n healthy action. For this purpose the sur
est and best remedy is Schencks Mandrake pills.
These Pills cleanse the stomach and bowels of all
tho dead and morbid slime that is causing disease
and decay in the whole system. They will clear
out the liver of all diseased bile that has accumu
lated there, and arouse it up to new and healthy
action, by which natural and healthy bile is Sc
creted
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleans
ed by the use Of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but
there remains In the stomach excess of acid,
the organ is forbid and tho appetite is poor. In
the bowels, the lacteals weak, and recurring
strength and support 1t is in a condition like
this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be
the most valuable remedy ever discovered 1t is
alkaline, and its use will neutralzo all excess of
acid, making tho stomach sweet and fresh; it will
give permanent tone to this important organ, and
create good, hearty appetite, and prepare the
system for the first process of good digestion and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood AZ
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases of consumption is the free and per-
severing use of Schencks Pulmonic Syrup. The
Pulmonic syrup nourishes the system, puriies the
blood and is readily absorbed into the circulation,
and thence distributed to the diseased form ofabs-
cesscs and tubercles, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form of free
expectoration, when once it ripens. 1t is then,
by the great healing and purifying properties Of
Schenck's Pumonic Syrup, that all ulcers and
cavities are healed up sound and my patient is
cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Con-
sumption is to get up good appetite and good
digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh and
get strong. If person has diseased lungs, a cav
ity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the
matter cannot ripen, so long as the system is be-
low par. What is necessary to cure is new Or

This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach
