] he primary cause OF Consumption is arrangement
of the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation By assimila-
ton mean that process by which the nutrnent OF
the food is converted into blood, and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion tbua M

its forms; and hold that it will be impossible cure
any case Consumption without firstrestolinga good
digestion and healthy assimilation. he verv first
thing to be done is to cleanse The stomach and bow els
from all diseased mucus and slime which is clogg ing
these organs that they perform their tupc-
TONS and then rouse up and restore The liver to
healthy action For this purpose the surest and best
remedy is Sehenct'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 sysem. They will clear out the liver OF all
diseased bile that has accumulated there AID arouse
it up to new aud heaity action, by which natural
and healthy bile is secreed. eOrat
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed by
the OF Sch nck's Mandrake Pills. but there re-
mains in the stomach excess OF acid, the ORGAN
torpid, and the appetite is poor In tie bowels the

all excess OF acid. making the stomach sweet and
fresh; ii will give permanent tone to this important
organ, and create good, hearty appetite and pre-

and ely make good, healthy, living blood
Alter this preparatory treatment, what remains TO
cure most of Consumption is the free and per-
severing use of Schenck's Pumonic Syrup. The
Pulmonic Syrup Dourshes the system, purfes 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
assesses or tubereles, and then assists Nature to
eXpe all the diseased matter in the form OF free e-
pectoIation when once it rpens. 1t is them by the
great healing and purifying properties OF Schenck'
Pulmonc Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are hea
