The Cause and Cu,e of Consumption.

The primary cause of Consumption Is arrangement
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. By assimila-
ton mean toat process by which the nntrinent OF
the food is converted into blood and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion tbua
paired, having the Slightest predispositOn to pull
monary disease or If they take cold will bevery IL
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some OF
its orns and hold that it will be impossible to cure
any case Consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilation. he verv tirst
thing to be done is to cleanse the stomach and bow
from all diseased mucus and slime which is clogg ing
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 that is causing disease and decay in the
whole system. They will clear out the liver OF all
diseased bile that has accumulated there ard
it up to new and beatty action, by which natuI al
and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed by
The use OF Sch enck's Mandrake Pills; but there
mains IN the stomach an excess OF acid, the organ

acteals are weak, and require strength and support.
1t is in condition like this that Scbencks Seaweed
Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever
lscovered 1t is alkaline aud lis will neutraze
all excess OF acid. making the stomach sweet and
fresh; it will give per manent tone to this important
organ, and create good, hearty appetite, and pre-
parethe system for the first process OF good digestion
and ultimately make good healthy, living blood
Alter this preparatory treatment, what remains TO
cure most cases of Consumption is the free and per-
severing use OF Schepck's Pulmonic Sy1up. The
Puimonic Syrup D0ui shes the system, purlfies the
oood and is readily absorbed into the circulation
and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There
it ripens all morbid matters, whether in the form OF
Assesses tubercles, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form OF free ex
pectol alton, when once it rpens. 1t is then, by the
great healing and purifying properties OF Sehenck's
Pumonic Syiup that all ulcers and cavities he al
ed up sound and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Consump-
on Is to get up good appetite and good digestion

there the cavity cannot heal, tie matter lip

have seen many persons cured with only one

This is what ScheDck's medicines will do TO cure
Consumption. They will ciean out the stomach
sweeten ard strengthen it, get up good digestion
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear b
system OF all the disease that in the laDgs what
ever the form may be.
1t is important that, while using Schenck's medi-
cines, care should be exercised not take cold; keep
indoors in cool and damp weather. avoid night.air,
ana take outdoor exercise only in genial and
sunshine

son. man who has but partallysrecovered from the
effects of bad cold is tar more liable to relauss
than one who has been entirely cured and il is pre-
cisely the same in regard to consumption So long
as the lungs not perfectly healed inst so long is
there imminent danger OF iul return of the dis

monary patients against exposing themselves to an
atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Con-

The grand secret oil my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
OF provoking it, as many OF the faculty do. An in
hamed lung cannot with safety to the patient be ex-
posed to the biting blasts of winter the chilling winds
