T1c cause ana Cube Oh consumption.
The primary cause OF Consumption is arrangement |
of the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation, BY assimila-
ton mean tDat process by which the nutriment OF
the food is converted into blood and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus i'm
paired, having the slightest predispostion to pull
monary disease or III they take cod will be very Ii
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some of
its forms; and hold that it will be impossible to cure
anyease otConsumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilation. 1he very first
thing be done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels
from all diseased mucus and slime which is clogging
these organs that they cannot perform their unc
tons. and then rouse up and restore the liver to
healthy action For this purpose the surest and best
remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pills These Pills
cleanse the stomach and bowels all the dead and
morbid slime eAt 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
it up to new and beatty action, by which natural
and healthy bile is secrete6.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus ceansed by
the use OF Schsncks Mandrake Pills; but there re-
mains in the stomach an excess OF acid, the organ
is torpid and the appetite poor In the bowels the
lacteals are weak and require strength and support:
1t is condition like this that Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever
discovered. 1t is alkaline and lis will neutralize
all excess of acid, making the stomach sweet and
fresh; it will give permanent tone to this important
pafee n9ats
and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Alter this preparatory treatment what remains to
cure OF Consumption is the Tree and per-
severing use of Schenck's Pulmonic syrup. The
Pulmonic Syrup pourishes the system, puriies the

it rpens all morbid matters, whether in the form of

expel all the diseased matter in the form OF free

great healing and purifying properties OF Schenck's
Pumonc Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities heal
