THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
ment Of the digestive organs. This derangement
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, or if they take
cold will be very liable to have Consumption of
the Lungs In some of its forms; and hold that it
will be impossible to cure any of Consumption
without first restoring 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
that they cannot perform their functions and then
rouse up and restore the liver to healthy action
For this purpose the suEest and best remedy is
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean 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 Tiers and rouse 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 Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the
organ is torpid and the appetite poor In the bow
els 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 is alkaline,
and its use will neutralize all excess of acid max
Ing the stomach sweet and fresh; It will give per-
manent tone to this important organ, and create
a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process of a 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 Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nOurishes the system, puri-
hes the blood. 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 or tuDercleS, and then
assists Nature to expel all the diseased matter, in
the form of free expectoration when once rpens.

1t Is important that while using Schenck's Medi-
cines care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep doors In cold and damp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in a
genial and warm sunshine

mend patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold, while using my 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 one who has been entirely cured;
and 1t Is precisely the same in regard to Consump-
ton. So long as the lungs not perfectly healed
just SO long Is there imminent danger of full re-
turn of the disease Hence it Is that so strenu-
ously caution pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial and
pleasant. Confirmed ConSumptiveS lungs are a
mass of sores, which the least change of atmos-
phere will infame: The grand secret of my sue

many of the faculty do. An inhamed lung cannot
with safety to the patient be exposed to the biting
blasts OF Winter or the chilling winds of Spring
or Autumn. 1t should be carefully shielded from
all irritating influences. The utmost caution
should be observed in this particular, without
sibility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious dlet, and all the Medicines continued
until the body has restored to 1t the natural quantity
of flesh and strength.
