The Cause and Cure of Consumption.

| The primary cause of CONSUMPTION is derange-
nent 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, if they take
cold, will be very liable to have Consumption ofthe
Lungs in some of its forms; and hold That 1t Will
| be impossible to cure any case of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation The very first thing to he 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 liver to healthy action
For this purpose, the surest and best remedy Is
| Schencks Mandrake Pills. These ri Is cleanse the
| stomach and bowels of all the 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 accumulated there, and arouse 1t up
to new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach excess of acid, the organ
is torpid and the appetite is poor. In the bowels,
The lacteals are weak and requiring strength and
support 1t is in condition like this that Schenck's
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable
remedy ever discovered. 1t alkaline and it use
will neutralize all eXceseot acid, making the stom-
ach sweet and fresh it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create good, hearty APP
of good digestion, and ultimately make good,
healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treat
ment, what remains to cure most cases of cons Jump
ton is the free and perservering use OF Schenck's
Pulmoric Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes
the system, puriies the blood, and is readily alb.
sorbed into the circulation and thence distributed
to the diseased lungs There it ripens all morbid
matters, whether in the form of Assesses tuber
ces and then assists Nature to expel all the dis
eased matter in the form of free expectoration, when
once it rpens 1t is then, by the great healing and
purifying properties of Schenck's Pulmonc syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound,
and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done IN curing Consump-
ton is to get up good appetite and good dges

abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the matter
cannot ripen, SO long as the system is below par
good appetite, good nutrition, the body to grow
in flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped the cav
tiles will heal, the matter will rpen and be thrown
of in large quantities, and the person regain health
and strength. This is the true and only plan to
cure Consumption, and III person is very bad, If
lung is entirely gone if there is enough vitality left
in the other to heal up there is hope.
l have seen many persons cured with only one
This is what schenck's medicines will do to cure
Consumption They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance 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 Schenck's medi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold
keep indoors in cool and lamp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in gent
al and warm sunshine
wish it distinctly understood that when recon-
mend patient to be careful III regard TO taking
cold while using medicines, do so for special
reason. A man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable To
relapse than who has been entirely cured, and
il is precisely the same in regard to sumption.
SO long the lungs not perfectly healed just SO
long is there imminent danger of full return ofthc
disease Hence it is that so strehuously caution
pulmonary patients againt exposing themselves to
an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant
Confirmed consumptives' lungs are mass of sores
which the least change of atmosphere will nfame.
The grand secret of my success with my medicines
consists in ability to subdue inflammation instead
of provoking it, many of the faculty do. An IN
famed lung cannot with safety to the patient be
exposed to the biting blasts of winter the chill
fully shielded from all Irritating Influences. The
utmost caution should be observed in this particu
lar, without it a cure under almost any circum
stances is an liz possibility. E 2
The person should be kept on a wholeso 70 an
nutricious diet, and all the medicines continues,
until the body has restored to it the natural I nt
ty of flesh and strength.
l was myself cured by this treatment of the worst
kind of Consumption and have lived to getf q; and
hearty these many years, with one lung tly
gone have cured thousands since, and very
many have been cured 10y this treatment whom
have never seen.
About the first of October expect to take posses
sion of my new building at the northeast corner OF
Sixth and Arch streets, where shall be pleased t.
give advice to all who may require it.
FUN directions accompany all my remedies so
that person in any part of the world can be read
lily cured by strict observance of the same,
