rHE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION

T>EE primary cause Of Consntrp ption is de-
\ rangement Of the digestiye organs This
derangemeHt produces deficient nutr;tion and
assimiiatioh.. By assimilation mean tha, pro-
cess by which the nutriment Of the food is con-
verted into blood. and thence into the solids Of
the body Persons with digestion thus impair

monary disease, or II they take cold. will be very
liable 10 have Consumption Of the Lungs in some
Of its forms and hold that II will be impos-
sible 10 cure any case Of Consumption without
Hrst restoring good discs,ioa and healthy as
siriation. The very first thing to be dore is
20 cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
sased mucns and siue, which 10 elogginz these
organs so that they cannot perform their func-
tions and then rouse up and restore the ii.er 10
a healthy action. For this purpose the surest
and best remedy is Schefck's Mandrake Pills.
These Pills clean the stomach and bowels Of all
the dead and morbid slime that is causiug dis
ease and decay in the whole system. They will
clear out the liver Of all diseased bile that has
accumulated there, and rouse il up to new and
healthy action. By which natural aud healthy
bile is secreted.
The stou,ach, bowels, and liver are thus
cleaased by the use Of Schenck' 5 Mandrake Pills;
be, there remains in the stomach an excess of
acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor
In the bowels the laciea!s are weak, and reauir-
ing strength and support. II Is in a condition
like this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves

of good digestion and ultimately make good
healthy, living blood. After this preparatory
treatment, what remains 10 cure most cases of
Consumption is the free and persevering use Of
Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup. The Pulmonic Sy-
rup nourishes the system, purifes the blood, aud
is readily absorbed into the circulation. and
thence distributed 10 the diseased lungs There
IL ripens all morbid matters, whether in the
form OF Assesses or tuberclee, and then assist.

properties Of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. that
all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound and
my patient is cured.
The essential thing 10 be done in curing Con-
sumption is TO get up good appetite and = good
digestion, SO that the body will grow in flesh
and get strong. IL person has diseased lungs
"A cavity or LbsceSs there. The cavity cannot
heal, the mattc- cannot ripcn, SO long as the
system is below par. What is necessary to cure
is new order OF lhIngs, good appetite, a
good nutrition, The body to grow in flesh and
get fat then Nature Is helped. the cavities will
heal, the matter will ripen and he thrown OF in
large quantities. and the person regain health and
strength. This is the true aud only plan TO cure
Consumption, and If person is very bad, If The
lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even If one
luEg is entirely gone, if there is enough yiiali-

one sound lung, live and enjoy life TO a good
old age. This is what Schenck's Medicines will
do tn cure Consumption. They will clean out
the stomach. swecien and strengthen it, &c. up
n good digestion, and give Nature the assistance
she needs TO clear the system of AL the disease
that is in the lungs, whatever the form may he
IL is important that while using Scheuck' s
Medicines, 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
I wish it distinctly understood that when |

taking cold, while using nv Medicines. | do so
for special reason. man who has but par
TALLY recovered from the effects of bad cold is
Ear more liable to relapse than one who has
been entirely cured; and il is precisely the
same in regard to Consumption. So long as
the lungs are not perfectly healed just so long
is there imminent danger of full return of the
disease. Hence il is that | so sirenuously eau
ton pulmonary patien.s against exposing them
selves 10 an atmosphere that i. not genial and
pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives' lungs are

success with my Medicines consists in nv ability
| 70 subdue inflammation instead OF provoking il,
, as many Of the faculty do. "A infiammed lun,
