THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
SUMPTION

The primary cause Of Consumption IL dcrangC.

tiOn. By assimilation | mean that process by
which the nutriment OF tho food is converted into
| blood, and thence into the solids OF the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having
| the slightest predlspOsltlon to pulmonary DIS
ease, or II they tako cold will be very liable to
have Consumption Of the Lungs In some OF
It's forms; and hold that It will be impossible
to cure any case Of Consumption without first
restoring good digestion and healthy Rsslmila-
| tiOn. The very first thing 10 be done Ia to
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucus and slime, which Is clogHing these organs
so that they cannot perform their functions, and
then rouse up and restore the liver " healthy
action. For this purpose tho. surest and best
remedy Is SChenCks Mandrake Pills These
Pills clean tho stomach and bowels OF oil the
dead and morbid slime that Is causing dis
ease and decay In the whole system. They
will clear out tho liver Of oil diseased bile that
has accumulated there, and rouse II up 10 new
and healthy action, by which natural and healthy
| bile Is BeCreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleans
cd by the use OF SchOnCks Mandrake Pills; but
there remains In the stomach an excess OF acid

the bowels the lGctGals arc weak, and requiring
strength and support. 1t Is In q condition like

and fresh; II will give permanent toEe to this I'm

and prepare the system for the first process OF u

Consumption Is tho FREQ and perseyerlng use OF
SchGbCk's Pulmonlc Syrup. The Pulmonic syrup

Tho essential thing to be done In curing Con.
