SPECIAL NUCTCE.

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
1.-The primary cause Of Consumption is derange-
ment OF the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By
assimilation 1 mean that process by which the nu-
trlment 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 if 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
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 rouse up TO
new 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 poor. In the bow
els the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support 1t is in a condition like this that
Sshenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline,
and its use will neutralize all excess of acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh it will give per-
manent tone to this important organ, and create
a 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 Schencks PulmOnic Syrup.
The PulmOnic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fes the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether
in the form of assesses or tubercles and then
assists Nature diseased matter.

This is what Schencks Medicines will do to cure

and give Nature the assistance she needs TO clear

mend patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold while using my Medicines, do for special
reason. a man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable to
relapse than one who has been entirely cured;
and it Is precisely the same in regard to COnsump-
ton. So long the lungs not perfectly healed,
Just so long is there imminent danger of full
turn Of the disease. Hence 1t Is that so strenu-
ously caution pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to atmosphere that is not genial and
pleasant. Confirmed COnsumptiveS lungs are a

with safety to the patient be exposed TO the biting
blasts of Winter or the chilling winds OF Spring
or Autumn. It should be carefully shielded from
all irritating influences. The utmost caution
should be observed in this particular as without It
azure under almost any circumstances is an lmpos-
Sbility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued
until the body has restored to IL the natural quantity
of flesh and strength.

kind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and

Full directions accompany all my Rem edies, so
that person in any part Of the world can be
readily cured by strict observance of the same.
