The Cause and Cu,e of Consump,iou.

The primary cause OF Consumption is arrangement
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. By assimiia-
ton mean toa5 process by which the nutriment OF
the iood Is converted into blood and thence into the
paired, having the slightest predisp ,siton to pull
monary disease, If they take cold, Will be very IL
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some of
its forms and hold that it will be impossible cure
anyicase consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilarion I he very first
thing done is to cleanse he stomach and bO
from all diseased mucous aud slime which is ologgin
these organs that they cannot perform their func-
tons, and then rouse and restore The liver to
healthy action For this purpose the and best
remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pills These Pills
cleanse the stomach and bowels OF all The dead and
morbid slime that causing disease and decay in the
whole sy EN-. They will clear out the liver of all
diseased bile that has accumulated there and arouse
it up TO new aud hea!ty action, by which natural
and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus cleansed by
the use OF Sch 9ncks Mandrake Pills; but there re-
mains 10 the stomach an excess OF acid, the organ
is torpid, and the appetite poor. In the bowels the
lacteas are weak and require strength and support.
1t is in condition like this that Schencks Seaweed
Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever
dsc0Veted 1t is alkaline and its use will neutraze
all excess OF acid, making the somach sweet and
fresh; it will give permanent tone to this mpo rtant
organ, and create good, hearty appetite, and pre-
paret1e system for the first process OF good digestion
and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Alter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases OF Consumption is the free and per-
seyering use OF Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup. The
Pulmonic Syrup Doufishes the system, purifies the
blood and is readily absorbed into the circulation
and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There
it rpens all mcrbid matters, wheGher in the form ,of
assesses or ubercles, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form OF free ex
pectoIatiOn when once it rpens. 1t is then by the
great healing and purifying proper ties Schenck's
PulmOnc Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities he al
ed up sound and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Consump-
ton is to get up good appetite and good digestion

essary to cure is order of things, good appe-
tile, good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and
