CONSUMPTION. .-a-
ITS CURE AND ITS PREVENTIVE
BY DIR. j. II. SCHENCK, NJ. d.

tD- THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
sCMPTtOS.-Thc primary cause Of Cousump-
ton is arrangement of the digestive organs This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
sinilaton. Hy assimilation, Imcau that process
by which the nuirimogt Of The food ia converted
into blood, and thence into the solids Of the Body.
Persons with Digestion thus impaired, having tho
slightest prcdisposition TO pulmonary disease, or
if they take cold, will be very liable to have Con.
sumption ofthc Lungs in some OF Its forms and
hold that II will he impossible TO cure any case
of Consumption without nrst restoring a good
digestion and healthy assiHiia'ion. The very first
thing TO be done Is TO clcarsc the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus aud slime which
arc clogging these orrns so that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse up and rec.
store the liver healthy action. For this pur.
posc the slrcst and best remedy Is schenck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels Of all the dead and morbid slime that
iscausing disease and decay In tho whole system.
They will clear ont the liver Of all diseased bilo
that has accumulated there, and arouse It up to q
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile Is sccrctcd.
The stomach, bowels and liverarc thus clcanscd
by the use OF Schcnck Mandrake Pills but ther,
remains In the stomach an excess Of ncid the Or
gan is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
cls, the lacteall are weak, and requiring strength
and support. II Il in q condition like this that
schonck's seawecd Tonic proves to bc thc M
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t Is alkaline,
and its use will ncurallzc all excess OF acid max.
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 4. will give
permanent tone to this important organ and Gre
ate n good, hearty appetite, and prepare the sys-
ten for the first process Of q GOOD digestion, ahs
ultimately make good, healthy, liyis.. blood. AZ
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases of ConsumptionE the free and
pcrseycring use of Schcncll's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nuurishes the system, puri-
fes the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed TO the cdiseased, ,
lungs. There II ripens all morbid matters wheth-
or in the form of assesses or tuberces, and then
assists Nature to expcl all the diseased matter In
the form of free expectoraion, when once 1t ri.
pens. 1t is then, by the great healing and purify
ing properties OF Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound,
and my patient "a cured.
The essential thing TO he done Ia orrirr Con-

matter cannot ripen, so long a. the system IL be.

sound lung, live and enjoy life 10 good old age.
This Ia what Schenck's Medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They VIII clean out the stomach,

ton, and givc Nature the assistance she needs 10

lungs, whatever the form may be.
10 Is important that, Mhlln using SchcnCk's
Medicines, care should be exercised not to take
