hold that 1t will be impossible to cure any caso
OF Consumption without first restoring a good
digestion and healthy assimilation The very lrst
thing TO be done Is to cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mrcus and slime which

pose, the surest and best remedy Is Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
