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, il they take
cold, viii be very Liable to have Consumption oithe
Lungs in some OF Its forms; and holt that 1t VIII
be impossible to cure any case of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation The very first thing to hc dCne'is tn
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucus and slime which is clogging these organs
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 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 fail diseased
bile that has accnmu lated there, and arouse IL up
to anew and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus clean sed
by the Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach an excess Of acid the
is torpid, and the appetite is poor. In the bowels
the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and
support. 1t is in contltlon like this that schenck's
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable
remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline and Its
will neutralize all excess o. acid making the tom
ach sweet and fresh it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create good, hearty ap-
petite, and lrepare the system for the irst pro
healthy, living blood. Afterthis preparatory treat
ment. what remains to cure most cases of consump-
lion is the free and perservering use OF Schenck,s
Pumoric syrup. The Pulmonc Syrup nourishes
the system, purities the blood, and is readily ab-
sorbed into the circulation, amt thence distributed
to the diseased lungs. There 1t ripens all morbid
matters whether i'll the form of ahscessc. tuber-
c!es, and then Assists Nature to eNpel oil the dis

once it rpens. 1t is then by The great healing and
purifying properties of ochenck's Pulmonic syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound,
and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done IN curing Consump-
ton is To get up good appetite ana good diges-
ton, 80 that the body will grow in flesh and get

This is what Schencks medicines viii do to cure
Consumption. They will clean ont tn e stomach
and give Nature The assistance she ne eds to clear
the system of all the disease that is in the lungs
whatever the form may be.
1t is important that while using Sc henck's medi.
cnes, care should be exercised no to take cold:
keep indoors IN cool and amp weather; avoid
night air, and take out door exercis only in gem.

Confirmed consumptiyes' lungs arc mass of sores,
which the least change OF atmosphere will intiame.
The grand secret Of my success with my medicines
consists i'll my ability to suhdue inflammation instead
OF provoking it, as many of the faculty DO. An IN
named lung cannot with safety to the patient be
exposed TO the biting blasts of winter the chill
ing winds of spring or autumn 1t should ue care

utmost caution should be observed in this partcu-
lar, as without it a cure under almost any circum-
stances is an i-?possibility.
The person should be kept on a wholeso ne and
nutricious diet and all the medicines continued
until the body has restored to it the natr; quanti
ty of flesh and strength.
