1.-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 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 if they take
cold, VIII De very liable to have Consumption Of
the Lungs IN some Of its forms; and hold that 1t
will be impossible to 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 cloggng these organs so
that they cannot perform their functions and then
rouse up ana restore the liver to healthy action.
For this purpose the suEest and best remedy is
Schencks 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 1t up to
a 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 condition like this that
Schenck'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
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 Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system puri-
fes the blood and is readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There 1t ripens all morbid matters, whether

Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,

cfneS, care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep indoors in cold and damp weather; avoid
night air; and take outdoor exercise only In q

wish it distinctly understood that when recon-
mend patient 10 be careful in regard TO taking
cold, while using my Medicines, do so 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;
ana 1t IS precisely the same in regard TO COnsump-
ton. So long as the lungs not perfectly healed,
just so long is there imminent danger Of full re-
turn of the disease. Hence it Is that 1 so strenu-
ously caution pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial and
pleasant. Confirmed COnSumptives lungs are a

many OF the faculty do. An infiamed lung cannot,
with safety to the patient be exposed to the biting

The person should be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued
until the body has restored to II the natural quantity
of flesh and strength.
