The Cause and Cure Of Con-
sumption.

The primary cause OF Consumption is derange.
ment OF the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. /
mean that process By which the nutriment of the
food Is converted into blood, aud thence into the
body. Persons with digestion thus impaired, hav.
Ing the slightest predisposition To pulmonary dis.
ease, or II they take cold, will be very liable to
have CONSUMPTION OF the Lungs in some of its
forms; and hold that il will be impossible TO cure
any case of Consumption without first restoring a
good digestion aud healthy assimilation. The
very first thing 10 be done is TO cleanse the stomach
and bowels from all diseased mucus AMI slime
which is clogging these organs that they cannot
perform their functions, and then rouse up and
restore the liver 10 healthy action. For this
purpose, the surest and Desl rimedy is Schenck'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 system.
They will clear ont the liver of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there and arouse IL up To n
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains IN the stomach an excess OF acid, the or
gan is torpid, and the appetite is poor. In the
bowels, the laeteals are weak, and requiring
strength and support. IL is in condition like this
that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves 10 be the
most valuable remedy ever discovered IL is al
kaliue and will neuralizc all of acid,
| making the stomach sweet and fresh; it Will give
permanent tone TO this Important organ, and
create good, hearty appetite, aud prepare the
system for the first process OF a good disestion
and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Amer this preparatory treatment, what remains
TO cure most cases OF consumption Is the Tree ana
perscveriug use of Schcncks Pulmouc syrup,
The Pulmouic syrup nourishes the system, purl'
fics the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed 10 the diseas'
cd lungs. There it rpens all morbid matters,
whether in the form of abccsSes or tubcrcles, AMI
then assists Nature 10 eNpell all diseased matter

The essential thing to be done in curing con,
sumption i to get up good appetite and Il sood
digestion, so that the body will grow in hcsl and
