The Cause and Cn,e OF Consumption.

The primary cause OF Consumption is derangement
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation, By assimila-
ton mean process by which the nulriment OF
the food Is converted into BLOOD and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus i'm
paired having the slightest predisp ,ston to pull
monary disease, or il they take cold. Will be very IL
able to have Consumption o. the Lungs in some OF
its foTms and hold that it viii be impossible
anycase IL consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimila ioU. The verv first
thug to be done is to cleanse The stomach and bow
from all diseased mucous aid slime which is clogging
these organs SO that they cannot perform their
TONS a1d then rouse up anu restore The liver to a
healthy action For this purpose the est and best
remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pills These Pills

morbid slime that causing disease and Decay la The

diseased bile that has accumulated there AID arouse
it up to new aud hea ty action, by which natural
and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus cleansed BY
the use OF Sch Dck's Mandrake Pills; but there re-
mains in the stomach an excess OF acid, the organ
is torpid and The appetite poor. In the bowels the
laceals are weak and require strength and support

Tonic proves to he the most valuable remedy ever
discovered IL is alkaline, and its will neutraze
all excess of acid, making the s omach sweet and
fresh; it will give pei manent tone to this important
organ and create good, hearty appetite, and pre-
parethe system for the first process OF good digestion
and ultima ely make good, healthy, living boud.-
