THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON
SUMPTION

The primary cause o. consumption Is uefahSe'
ment ofthc digestive organs, This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation.
Bv assimilation mean that process by which
the nutriment ofthe food is converted into blood
and thence into the solids of tue body. Persons
with digestion thus impaired having the slight
est pre,dispostion TO pulmonary disease, or If
they take cold, will be very liable to have Con
sumption Of the Lungs in some Gifts forms; and
| hold that it will be impossible TO cure any case
of Consumption without first restoring a 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
Schencks Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean
the stomach and bowels Ofall the dead and NOR
bid 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 il up to new and healthy action,
by which natural and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus clean
sed by the use of Schencl<s Mandrake Pills but
there remains in the stomach an excess OF acid
the organ is torpid and the appetite poor In
the bowels 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 neutralze all excess
OF acid making the stomach sweet and fresh it
will give permanent tone to this important or
gah, and create a hearty appetite, and prepare
the system for the first process of a good diges-
ton and ultimately make good, healthy, living
blood After this preparatory treatment, what
remaius to cure most cases OF Consumption Is
the free and persevering use OF Scheneks Pull
monte Syrup The Pulm0nic Syrup nourisles
the system, purifes the blood and is readily
absorbed into the circulation and thence dis
tributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens
all morbid matters, whether in the form OF abb
scesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form of free
expectoration, when once it ripens. 1t 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 pa
tent is cured.
The essential thing to 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. If a person has diseased lungs
a cavity or abscess there-the cavity cannot
heal, the matter cannot ripen so long as the
system is below par. What is necessary to cure
is a new order of things,-a good appetite,
good nutrition, the body to grow III flesh and
heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown off in
large quantities, and the person regain health
and strength. This is the true and only plan to
cure consumption, and if person is very bad
if the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even
if one lung is entirely gone if there is enough
vitality left in the other to heal up, there Is
hope
L 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
a good digestion and 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 Schencks
Medicines care must be exercised not to take
cole keep indoors in cold and damp weather;
avoid night air and take outdoor exercise only
in genial and warm sunshine.
| wish il distinctly understood that when /
recommend patient TO be careful in regard to
taking cold while using my Medicines, do so
for n special reason, A man who has but partly
recovered fl ON the effects Of bad cold is far
more liable to a 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 a full return of the disease.
Hence it is that so strenuOusly caution pulIno-
nary patients against exposing themselves to an
atmosphere that is not genial ndpesant. Con
firmed Consumptives' lungs are mass OF sores
which the least change of atmosphere will in
fame. The grand secret of my success with my
Medicines consists in my ability to subdue intia-
nation instead of provoking it, as many OF the
faculty do An infiamed lung cannot, with safe
ty TO the patient be ex posed 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 eau
ton should be observed in this particular as
without it a cure under almost any circums,an-
ces is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on wholesome
and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con
tinued till the body has restored to it the natural
quantity of flesh and strength. | was mysel
cured by this treatment of the worst kind of conf
sumption. and have lived to get fat and hearty
these many years, with one lung mostly gone.
I have cured thousands since, and very many
have been cured by this treatment whom bave
never seen.
About the first of October | expect to take
possession of my new building, at the n, Z. Cor
ner of Sixth and Arch Streets, where l shall be
pleased to give advice to all who may require
Full directions accompany all my Remedies,
so that a person in any part OF the world can be
readily cured by strict observance Of the same.
