THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
1.-The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
ment OF the digestive organs. This arrangement
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

VIII De impossible to cure any case of Consumption
without nrs1 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 so
that they cannot perform their functions 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 clean tho
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 rouse it up to
a 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 a condition like this that
Sshenck's Seaweed Tonic proves TO be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline,
and its will neutraze all of acid, max
manent tone to this important organ, and create
good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process 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 Pulmonc Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fes 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 tuDerCloS and then
assists Nature to expel all the diseased matter in
the form of free eIpectOraton, when ripens.
It is then, by the great healing and purifying
properties of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, that all
ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my

only plan to cure Consumption and if q person is
or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there is
enough vitality left in the other to heal up there is
have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to good old age.
This is what Schenck's Medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digestion,
ana 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 Medi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep indoors in cold and damp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in
genial and warm sunshine
wish 1t distinctly understood that when recon-
mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold, while using my Medicines do for special
reason. A man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable to
q relapse than one who has been entirely cured;
and 1t Is precisely the same in regard to COnsump
just so long is there imminent danger of full
turn of the disease. Hence it is that / 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 infiame. The grand secret of my sue
subdue Inflammation instead of provoking it, as
many of the faculty do. An infamed 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, as without II
cure under almost any circumstances is an impOs-
sbility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome and
until the body has restored to the natural quantity
OF flesh and strength.
