THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
The primary cause of Consumption Is derange
ment Of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation mean that process BY which the nu-
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 II they take
cold will be very liable to have Consumption OF
the 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
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
rouse up and restore the liver to healthy action.
For this purpose the surest and best remedy Is
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the
stomach and bowels Of all the dead and morbid,
sme: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 rouse 1t up to
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile Is secreted.
The stomach. bowels, and liver are thus cieansed
by the use Of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains In the stomach an excess Of acid, the
organ Is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support. It Is in q condition like this that
Schencks seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t Is alkaline,
and It's will neutralse all excess OF acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t will give per-
manent tone to this important organ, and create
q 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 remains
TO cure most cases Of Consumption Is the free
and persevering use Of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pumonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri..
fes the blood. and Is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There 1t rpens all morbid matters, whether
In the form Of Assesses Or tubercles. and then
the form Of free expectoration when once 1t npens
