THE CAUSE and CURE OF CONSUMPTION

The primary cause of Consumption. Is derange-,
mcnt Of the dis.ative organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition ana assimilation. BY
-ssimllation 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 o!
the Luugs In some Of It's forms; and bold that 10
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 Il 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
slimethnt Is causing disease and decay in the whole
system. They will clear ou. the liver Of all diseased
ble that has accumulated there and rouse 1t up 70
new and healthy action by which natural and
healthy bile Is secreted. ;. $50.
The stomach, bowels, md liver are thus ceansed
by the use of Schenck's 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 r o condition like this that
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It Is alkaline,
and Its will neutralize all excess OF acid, max

Aftar thIs preparatory treatment, what remains
to cure most cases OF Consumption Is the ffee
and persevering use Of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulrnonc Syrup nourshes the system, .puri-
les the blood. and Is readily absorbed Into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. The.e 1t ripcns all morbid me:ters. whether

It Is Important that while using Schenck's Medi.
cnes care should be exercised not TO take cold;
keep indoors In cold and damp weather.; avoid
