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 II 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
that they cannot perform their functions, and then
up and restore the liver to healthy action.
For this purpose the surest 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 rouse 1t up to
a new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bswels, and liver are thus cleansed
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. 1t is in a condition like this that
schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It Is alkaline
and its use will neutraZe 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
Ior the hrst process of q 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-
fies 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 tqbercles, and then
the form of free expectoratOn when it ripens.
It is then, by the great healing and purifying
ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my
patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done In curing Con-
sumption is to get up a good appetite and a good
digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh and
cavity or abscess there-the cavity cannot heal the
matter cannot ripen, so long the system Is below
things-a good appetite a good nutrition, the body
to grow in flesh and get fat then Nature Is helped,
the cavities will heal the matter will ripen and be
thrown off in large quantities, and the person
regain health and strength. This Is the true and

or even if one lung is entirely gone, If there is
enough vitality left In the other to heal up there is
hope
I have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digestion,
the system of all the disease that Is In the lungs,
whatever the form may be.
IL Is important that while using Schenck's MedL
clnes, 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
genial and warm sunshine.
wish it distinctly understood that when recon-
mend q patient to 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;
and 1t is precisely the same in regard to Consump
just SO long IS there imminent danger Of full re-
turn OF the disease Hence it Is that so strenu-
ously caution pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial and
pleasant. Confirmed COnsumptives' lungs are a
