by this system, and can do go again. Con-
sumption is as easily cured as any other
dieease, il taken i'll time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undlsputed on record that Schcnck's Pulmo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Seawecd Tonic
have cured very many of what seemed to be
hopeless cases Of consumption. Go where
you will, you will be almost certain to find
some poor consumptiye who has been rescued
from the very jaws of death by their use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep q supply Of them on
