The Cause and Cure Of Consumption.


The primary cause Of Consumption is dorange.
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 il they take
cold, Will be very liable to have Consumption Of
tho Lungs in some of its forms; and hold that
it will be impossible to any case of Consump-
tion 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 clogpinp
these organs so that they cannot perform their
functions, and then rouse up and rsstore the liy.
er to u healthy action. For this purpose the sur
est and best remedy is Schcncks 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 of all diseased bile that has accumu
lated there, and arouse it up to new and healthy
action, by which natural and healthy bile is Sc
GREETED.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleans
cd by the use Of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but
there remains In the stomach an excess of acid,
the organ is forbid, and tho appetite is poor. In
the bowels, the lacteals are weak, and recurring
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 will neutraize all excess of
acid making the stomach sweet and fresh; it will
give permanent 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. Az
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most of consumption Is the free and per-
severing use of Sehenok's Pulmonic Syrup The
Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purifes the
blood, and is readily absorbed into the circulation
and thence distributed to the diseased form Of abs
oesses and tubercles, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form Of free
expectoration. when once it ripens. 1t is then,
by the great healing and purifying properties of
Schenck'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 Con-
sumption is to get up good appetite and a good
digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh and
get strong If person has diseased lungs, cav
ity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the
matter cannot ripen, SO long as the system is be-
low par. What is necessary to cure is new or
der of things, good appetite, good nutrition,
the body to grow in flesh and get fat then Ma
ture 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 only plan to cure Consumpti on

entirely destroyed, even if one lung is entirely
gone, if there is enough vitality left in the other

sound lung live and enjoy life to good old age
This is what Schencks medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach
sweeten and strengthen it, get up a good diges
ton, and give Nature the assistance she needs tc
clear the system of all the disease that is in the
lungs. whatever the form may be.
