THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CoNsUMPTIol

The CAUSE Vt aCOIN0 "AA = AoA''
The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
ment of the digestive organs. This arrangement
nroduces deficient nutrition and assimilation
I,v assimilation l mean that progress by which
the nutriment of the food is converted into blood,
and thence into the solids of the body. Persons
with digestion thus impaired having the slight
est nredisposition to pulmonary disease, or if
thew 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 good d.
gestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thine to be done is to cleanse the stomach ana
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime, which
is clogging these organs so that they cannot per-
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to healthy action. For this pur-
nose the surest and best remedy is Schenck Man
drake Pills These Pills clean the stomach and
bowels of all the dead and morbid slime that is
causipo disease and decay in the whole system.
Thew will clear out the liver of all diseased bile that
has accumulated there, and rouse 1t up to new
and healthy action, by which natural and healthy
bile is secreted.
The stomach, and bowels, and liver are thus
c!eansed by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills.
but there remains il the stomach an excess of ac-
i'd the organ is torpid and the appetite poor In
the bowels the lacteals weak, and requiring
strength and support. 1t is in condition like
this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to the
most valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t Is al
kaline, and its use will neutral'ze all excess OF
acid, making the stomach sweet and fresh 1t will
give permanent tone to this important organ, ana
create good, hearty appetite, and prepare the
system for the first progress Of good digestion,
and ultimately make good healthy, living blood
After this preparatory treatment, what remains
to cure most cases of Consumption is the free and
persevering use of Schenck's Pumonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system. puri
fes the blood, and is readily absorbed into the cir
culation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs There it ripens all morbid matters, wheth
err IN the form of assesses or tuberces, and then
assists Nature to expel all the diseased matter in
the form of free expectoration, when once it RI
pens 1t is then, by the great healing and purl-
flying properties of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healedup sound.
and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Con-
sumption is to get up good appetite and good

get strong. If a person has diseased lungs,-a
cavity or abscess there,-the cavity cannot heal.
the matter cannot ripen, so long as the system Is
below par What is necessary to cure is a new
order of things,-a good appetite, good nutri-

They will clean out the stomach, |

ton, 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 Med |
icines, care should be exercised not to take cold
keep in doors in cold and damp weather; avoid
wight air, and take outdoor exercise oqly IN
genial and warm sunshine.
I wish it distinctly understood that when rec

liable to relapse than one who has been entirely
