The primary cause Of Consumption is derange-
nent of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By
assimilation mean that process by which the n,l.
triment of the food is converted into blood, and
thence into the solids Of the body. Persons with
digestion thus impaired, having the slightest Pre-
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 it will
be impossible to cure any case of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very first thing to be done is to
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
Schenek's Mandrake Pills. These Pills cleanse the
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 a new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use 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. it 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
ach sweet and fresh it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create good, hearty APP
petite, and prepare the system for the first
of good digestion, and ultimately make good
healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treat
ment, what remains to cure most cases of consump
Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes
the system, purifes 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 or tuber
cles, and then assists Nature to expe all the dis.
eased matter In the form OF nee expectoraton when
once it ripens. Il is then. by the great healing and
purifying properties of Schencks Pulmonic Syrup

ton, SO that the body will grow in flesh and yet
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 OF things
good appetite, a good nutrition, the body to grow
in flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped the cav
tiles will heal the matter will ripen 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 or even if one
lung is entirely gone if there is enough vitality len
in the other to heal up, there is hope.
Ihave 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 good digestion,
the system of all the disease that is in the lungs,
whatever the form may be.
1t is important that. while using Schenck's medi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold ;
keep indoors in cool and lamp weather: avoid
night air, and take out door exercise only in gent
al and warm sunshine.
l wish it distinctly understood that when recon.
mend patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold while using my medicines, do for a special
reason. A 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
It is precisely the same in regard to Consumption
SO long as the lungs are not perfectly healed just

Confirmed consumptiyes' lungs are mass of sores

The grand secret of my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
OF provoking it, as many of the faculty do. An IN
famed lung cannot with safety to the patient be
exposed to the biting blasts of winter or the chill
ing winds of spring or autumn. 1t should be care
fully shielded from all Irritating influences. The
utmost caution should be observed in this particu

stances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on a wholeso ne and
nutritious Diet and all the medicines continued
until the body has restored to it the natural quant
ty of flesh and strength.
