The Cause and Cure of Consumption.

The primary cause OF Consumption Is arrangement
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation, By assimila-
ton mean tDat process by which the nutriment OF
the food is converted into blood and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thua i'm
paired having the slightest predispositi0n to pull
monary disease, or il they take cold will beverly IL
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some of
its forms and hold that it will be impossible to cure
any caseo Consumption without first restoring good
thing to be done is to cleanse4he stomach and bowe
from all diseased mucus and slime which is clogging
these organs so that they cannot perform their
tons. 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 causing disease and decay in the
whole system. They will clear out the liver OF all
diseased bile that has accumulated there aid
it up to new and heaty action, by which natural
and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are tins cleansed by
the use OF Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there re-
mains 10 the stomach an excess of acid, the organ
is torpld and the appetite is poor. In the the
laceals weak, and require strength and support
1t is in a condition like this that scbencks Seaweed
Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever
discovered 1t Is alkaline, and IFS will neutralize
all excess OF acid, making tho stomach sweet and
1resh; 1t Will give permanent tone to tnS important
organ, and create good, hearty appetite, and pre-
parethe system for the first process OF good digestion
and Ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Alter TINS preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases of Consumption is the free and per-
severing use OF Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup. The
Pumonic Syrup Dourishes the system, purIfies the
blood, and is readily absorbed into the Circulation
and thence distributed to the diseased lungs There
it rpens all morbid matters whether in the form of
assesses or tuberces, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form OF free ex
pectoratiop, when once it ripens 1t is them by the

The essential thing to be done in curing Consump-
tion is to get up good appteie and good digestion
SO that the body will grow IN flesh and get strong

essay to cure is new order OF things, good Ape
tile, 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 of in large
quantities, aud the person regain health and strength
This is the true and only plan to cure Consumption
ana II person IS very bad, il the lungs are not en-
tireiy destroyed, it lung is entirely gone
II there enough vitality left in the other to heal up
there is hope
Sound lung, live and enjoy life to good old age
This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure
sweeten ard strengthen it, get up good DIGESTION,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the
system OF all the disease that is in the lungs what
1t is important nat, while using Schenck's medi-
cnes, should be exercised not take cold keep
indoors in cool and damp weather; avoid night air,
and take outdoor exercise only in genial and warm
sunshine. 'a.l
wish it distinctly understood mat when I recon-
mend natent 10 be careful in regard to taking cold
while using my medicine. do so Tor a special rea-
son. man who has but partiallyIrecovered from the
effects OF bad cold IS tar more liable to RELAPSE
than who has been entirely cured and it is pre-
cisely the same in regard TO consumption So long
the lungs are not perfectly healed inst so long is
there imminent danger OF Iull return OF the dis
case Hence it is that 30 strenuously caution pull
monary patients against exposing themselves to an
atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Con-
firmed consumptves' lungs are a mass of sores
which the least change of atmosphere will niame'
The grand secret OF my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation Instead
of provoking it, as many of the faculty do An in
famed lung cannot with safety to the patient be ex
posed to the biting blasts OF winter the chilling winds
of spring or autumn 1t should be carefully Shielded
from all irritating influences The utmost cauton
should be observed in this particular as without If
cure under almost AIRY circumstances is an imnossi
bility.
The person .honld be kept on wholesome and mn.

the body has restored it the natural uuantity nj
flesh and strength.
