) CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure and lis Preventive.


BY J. H. sCHENCK, NJ. D.
MANY a human beiAg has passed away, for
1xl. whose death there was no other reason
than the neglect Of known and indisputably pro-
ven means OF cure. Those near and dear to fam
lily and friends are sleeping the dreamless slum-
Der into which, had they calmly adopted
DR.. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK'S SIMPLE
TREATMENT
and availed themselves Of his wonderful efica-
cious medicines they would net have fallen.
DR.. Schenk has in his own case proved that
whenever sufficient vitality remains, that vitality,
by his medicines and his directions for their uss,
is quickened into healthful vigor.
In this statement there is nothing presumptu-
Gus. To the faith Of the invalid is made no rep
resentation that is not a thousand times substan-
tiated by living and visible works The theory
of the cure by DR.. Schenck's medicines is as sim
Pile as it is unfailing. It's philosophy requires no
argument. 1t is self assuring, self-convincing.
The Sea-weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapons with which the citadel Of
the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases
of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a
funotionally disordered liver With this condi-
ton the bronchial tubes "sympathize' with the
stomach. They respond to the morbiic action Of
the liver. Here then comes the eliminating re-
suit, and the setting in with all its distressing
symptoms of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are composed of one Of
Natures noblest gifts-the Podophium Peltatum.
They possess all the blood searching. Alternative
properties of calome, but unlike calomel,

The second thing is, the patients must stay in
a warm room until they get we'll; it is almost i'm
possible to prevent taking cold when the lungs
are diseased, but It must be prevented, or
cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out,
especially in this section of the country in the
fall and winter season, are all wrong. Physi

because they are in the house they must not sit
down Quiet they must walk about the room as
much and fast the strength will bear to get
up good circulation of blood. The patients
must keep in good spirits-be determined to get
well. This has q great deal to do with the ap
petite, and is great point to gain.
The despair of cure after such evidence of its
possibility in the worst cases, and moral certain
ty in all others, is sinful. DR.. Schenck's per
sonal statement to the Faculty of his own cure
was in these modest words:
Many years ago WIS in the last stages of
consumption confined in my bed and at one
time my physician thought that could not live

feel them penetrate my whole system. They
ripened the matter in my lungs, and 1 would spit
up more than plat of the offensive yellow mat

AS soon as that began to subside, my cough,
fever, pain and night sweats all began to leave
me, and my appetite became so great that it was

The directions for taking the medicines are
adapted TO the intelligence even of a CHI III. Fol-
low these directions and kind Nature will do the
rest excepting that in some cases the Mandrake
Pills are to be taken in increased doses; the
three medicines need no other accompaniment
than the ample instructions that accompany them:
First create appetite. OF returning health hung

cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a

gone forever.

forms.
