THE CAUSE AND CURE OF coYsUMP.

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMP,
TION.-The primary cause Of consumption Is
arrangement Of the digestive organs. Ihi,
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and
assimilation. Bv assimilation. | mean thRt
process by which the nutriment OF the food l.
converted into blood, and thence into the solids
of the body. fcrs"os with digestion TINS I'M
paired, having the slightes, predispositoin %
pulmonary disease. or If they take cold, will
be very liable to have Consumption Of the
Lungs IN some Of lis forms; and hodthat
viii be impossible 10 cure any case Of Con
sumption without first restoring a good diges-
ton and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing 10 be done IS TO cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime
which IL ologCing these organs so that they
can perform their functions, and then rouse up
and restore the liver 10 u healthy action. For
this purpose the sureEt and best rcmcdy J.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These clean the
stomach and bowels Of all the dead and nor
bid slime that is cau4ing disease and decay in
the whole system. They viii clear out the
liver Of all diseased bile tina; has accumulate
there, and rouse it up to a new and healthy ac-
ton by which natural and healthy bile IS Sc
creted
The stomach, bowels, and liser are thus
clesnsed by the use Of Schenck's Mandrake
Pills but there remains in the stomach an cx-
cess Of acid, the organ i torpid and the appe-
tite poor. In the bowels the acteaIs are
weak, and requiring strength and support. IL
is in a condition like this that Schenck's Sea
we'd Tonic proves TO be the most valuable
remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline. and lis
use will neutral &c all excess OF acid making
the stomach sweet and fresh It will give per
manent tone TO this important organ, aud create
a good hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process of good 'gestiOD aud
ultimately make good, ea'thy, living blood.
After ths preparatory treatment, what remains
To cure most cases of Consumption IS the free
and perseverlng use of Schenck's Pulrnonic
Syrup. The PumOnic Syrup nourishCs the
system, puriiies the blood, and IS readily alb
sOrbed into the circulation, and thence distri
buted 10 the diseased lungs. There il ripens
all morbid matters, whether in the form Of ab-
scesses or tubucles, and then assists Nature TO
eXpel all the diseased matter, in the form OF
free expectors;ion, Hhen once & linens. Its
then, by the great healing and purifying prom
critics of Schenck's PUlmonic STrnp. that an
ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and NV
patient IS cured.
The se1tial thing TO be done in curing Con-
sumption Is TO get upa good appetite and a good
digestion, so that the body viii grow IN flesh
and get strong. Ifaperson has diseased lupgs
"A cavity or abscess tbere,-the cavity cannot
heal, the matter cannot ripen. so LON, a. the
system Is below par. What is necessary TO
cure is new order Of tbings,-a good appe-
lite, a good nutrition, the body 10 grow in
flesh and get fat then Nature i helped. the
cav tiles will heal, the matter will ripen and be
thrown of in large quantities, and the person
regain health and strength. This is the trne
and only plan TO cure Consumption. and #
pers IN Is very bad, if the lungs are not entirely
destroyed, or even if one lung is entirely gone.
if there is enough vitality left in the other 10
heal up, there is hope.
1 have seen many persons cured with ONLY
one sound lung, live aud cniov life 10 A pood
old age This is what Schenck's Medicines will
do TO cure Consumption. They will clean ont
the stomach. sweeten and strengthen it. get up
good digestion, and give Nature the ass
tance she needs TO clear the system Of all the
disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form
may be.
1t is important that while using ScheDck's
Medicines. care should be exercised not 10 take
cold; keep in doors in cold and damp weather:
avoid night air, and take outdoor exercise
only in a genial and warm sunshine.

recommend patient to be careful in regard Ia
taking cold, while using my Medicines, / do so
for a special reason. a man who has but mar
tally recovered from the effects of a bad cold is
far more liable to relapse than one who has
been entirely cured; and it is precisely the
same in regard TO Consumption. So long
as the lungs are not perfectly healed, lust SO
long is there imminent danger of a full re-
tu,n of the disease Hence it is that I SO
strenuously caution pulmonary patients
against exposing themselves to an atmosphere
that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed
COnsumptives' lungs are a mass Of sores.

of the faculty do. An infamed lung camel.

most caution should be observed in this partic- |
uar, as without il a cure under almost any Gig
cumstances is an imDOssibility.
The person should be kept on wholesome and |
nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued |

quantity OF flesh and strength.
