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-

disposition to pulmonary disease or If they take
cold, will be very liable to have Consumption ofthe
Lungs in some of its forms; and hold that 1t viii
be impossible to cure any case of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very first thing TO he 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
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 arouse 1t up
to new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver thus cleansed
by the of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach an excess of acid the organ
is torpid and the appetite is 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, andits use
will neutralize all Of acid making the stom-
ach sweet and fresh it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create good, hearty APP

of a good digestion, and ultimately make good,
healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treat

The system puriies the blood and is readily alb
sorbed into the circulation and thence distributed
to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid
matters, whether in the form of Assesses tuber
Giles, and then assists Nature to expel all the dis
eased matter in the form of free expectoraton, when
once it ripens. 1t is then, by the great healing and
purifying properties of Schencks Pulmonic Syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound,
and my patient is cured
The essential thing to be done curing Consump-
ton is to get up good appetite and a good diges
ton, so that the body will grow in flesh and get
strong. II 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 new order otehings,
good appetite, good nutrition, the body to grow
in flesh and get fat then Nature is helped the cav
tiles will heal the matter will rpen and be thrown
of in large quantities, and the person regain health
and strength. This is the true and only plan to
cure Consumption, and if a person is very bad, if
the lungs are not entirely destroyed even if one
lung is entirely gone if there is enough vitality left
in the other to heal up, there is hope.
have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to good obi 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,
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 Schenck's med
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold :
keep indoors in cool and lamp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in gent

reason. 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 consumption.
So long the lungs not perfectly healed just

disease. Hence it is that so strenuously caution

The grand secret of my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
of provoking it, many of the faculty do. An IN.

exposed to the biting blasts of winter the chill
