The Cause and Cure Of CONSUMPTION.

The primary cause of Consumption is derangemen
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation Byassimilatio1
| | mean that process by which the nutriment of tn,
food is converted into blood, and thence into the
solids Of the body. Persons with digestion thus
| impaired having the slightest predsposition to pull
| monary disease, if they take cold, will be very
liable to have Consumption of the Lungs in some o.
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 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 up and restore the
| liver to healthy action. For this purpose, the
| surest and,best remedy is Schenck'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 it up to and healthy action,
| by which natural and healthy bile is!secreted.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus cleansed
| by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach excess of acid the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is poor, In the bowels,
the lacteals weak, and requiring strength and
support. 1t is in condition like this that Schenck
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable
edy discovered. 1t is alkaline and its use will
neutralize all excess of acid making the stomach
sweet and fresh it will give permanent tone to this
important organ, and create good hearty appetite,
and prepare the system for the first process OF good
Digestion and ultimately make good, healthy, living
blood. After this preparatory treatment, what re-
mains to cure most cases of consumption is the free
| and persevering use of Schencks Pulmonfc Syrup.

have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to good old age.
This is what Schencks medicines will 60 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, what
ever the form may be.
1t is important that, while using Schenck's medi-
cnes, care should be exercised not TO take cold

air, and take outdoor exercise only i'll genial and
warm sunshine.

the effects of bad cold is far liable to relapse
than one who has been entirely cured and it is pre-
cisely the same in regard to Consumption. So long
as the lungs not perfectly healed just long is
there imminent danger of full return of the disease.
Hence it is that so strenuously caution pulmonary
patients against exposing themselves to atmos-
phere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed
consumptiyeS' lungs are mass OF sores, which the
least change Of atmosphere will infame, The grand
secret OF my success with my medicines consists in
my ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro-
voking it, as many of the faculty do. An intIaIned
lung cannot with safety to the patient be exposed to
the biting blasts Of winter or the chilling wind OF
spring or autumn 1t should be carefully shielded
from all irritating Influences. The utmost caution
should be observed in this particular, without it
cure under almost any circumstances is impossi-
bility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the medicines continued n
til the body has restored to it the natural quantity of
flesh and strength.
