The Cause and Cure Of CONSUMPTION.

The primary cause of Consumption is arrangement
of the digestive organs This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation By assimilation
| mean that process by which the nutriment of the
TODD is converted into blood, and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus
impaired having the slightest predspositon to pull
liable to have Consumption of the Lungs in some of
its forms; and l hold that it will be impossible to
cure of Consumption without first restorin
good digestion and healthy assimilation. The very
first thing to be 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 up and restore the
liver to healthy action. For this purpose, the
surest and best remedy is Schencks Mandrake Pills.
These Pills 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 isisecreted.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains In the stomach OF acid the organ
s torpid, and the appetite is poor. In the bowels
the Iacteals weak, and requiring strength and
support. 1t is in condition like this that Schenck
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable
edy discovered 1t is alkaline, and its will
neutralize all excess Of acid, making the stomach
sweet and fresh; it Will give permanent tone to this
important organ, and create good hearty appetite
ana prepare the system for the first process OF good
question: and ultimately make good, healthy living
oiood After this preparatory treatment, what re
mains to cure most OF consumption is the free
ana persevering use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
Inc IulmOnlc Syrup nOurlSheS the system, purlheS
the blood and is readily absorbed into the circua-
ton, and thence distributed to the deceased lungs
There it ripens all morbid matters, whether in the
form OF assesses or ubercles, and then assists Ma
ture to expel all the diseased matter in the form OF
free expectoration when it ripens. 1t is then,
by the great healing and purifying properties of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, that all ulcers and clvi-
ties are healed up sound, and my patient is cured.
The essential Thing to be done in curing Consump.
tlon Is to get up good appetite and good digestion
SO that the body will grow in flesh and get strong.

matter will ripen and be thrown oh in large quanti-

This Is the true and only plan to Consumption
and If person is very bad, if the lungs not
entirely destroyed, or even if one lung is entirely
gone if there is enough vitality left in the other
heal up, there is hope.
l have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to 4 good old age.
This is what Schencks medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the
system of all the disease that is in the lungs, what
ever the form may be-

secret of my success with my medicines consists in
my ability to subdue Inflammation instead of pro-

lung cannot with safety to the patient be exposed to
the biting blasts OF winter or the chilling wind OF
spring autumn. 1t should be carefully shielded
from all irritating influences. The utmost caution
should be observed in this particular as without it
