The Cause and Cure Of CONSUMPTION.

The primary cause of Consumption is arrangement
OF me digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation By assimilation
mean that process by which the nutriment Of the

soilds OF the body Persons with digestion thus
impaired, having the slightest predsposition to pull

ilabe 10 have Consumption of the Lungs in of
IFS forms; and hold that it will be impossible to
cure any of Consumption without first restorin
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
cogSlng these organs SO that they cannot perform
their functions and then rouse up and restore the
liver to 4 healthy action. For this purpose, the
surest .andibest remedy 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 out
the liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated
there and arouse it up to new and healthy action,
by which natural and healthy bile is.secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver thus cleansed
by the use of Schencks Mandrake Pills. but there
remains in the stomach excess of acid the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is poor In the bowels
the lacteas are weak, and requiring strength and
support. 1t is in condition like this that SchenckS
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable rem
edy ever discovered 1t is alkaline, and its will
neutralIze all excess Of acid, making the stomach
sweet and fresh it will give permanent tone 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. After this preparatory treatment, what re-
mains to cure most of consumption is the free
and perseyering use OF Schencks Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purities
the blood, and is readily absorbed into the crcula-
ton, and thence distributed TO the deceased lungs.
There it ripcns all morbid matters, whether in the
form of assesses ubercles, and then assists Ma
lure to eNpel nil the diseased matter in the form OF
free expeCtoration when once it ripens. 1t is then,
by the great healing and purifying properties of
SchencRs Pumonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavi-
ties are healed up sound, and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Consump.
ton is TO get up good appetite and good digestion
so that the body will grow in flesh and get strong.

This is the true and only plan to Consumption
and if person is very bad, if the lungs are not
entirely destroyed, or even if lung is entirely
gone, if there is enough vitality left in the other to
heal up, there is hope.
have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age.
This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach
sweeten and 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
ever the form may be-
1t is important that, while using Schenck's med-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold
keep in doors in cool and damp weather avoid night
arr, and take outdoor exercise only i'll genial AID

l wish it distinctly understood that wncn recon.
mend patient to be careful in regard to taking cold
while using my medicines, / do SO for a Special
reason. A man who has but partially recovered from
the effects of bad cold is far liable to relapse
than who has been entirely cured and it is pre-
cisely the same in regard to Consumption. So long
the lungs not perfectly healed Just so long is
there imminent danger Of full return of the disease
Hence it is that so strenuously caution pulmonary
patients against exposing themselves to an atmoS-
phere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed
consumptiyeS' lungs are a mass OF sores, which the
least change of atmosphere will inflame, The grand
secret of my success with my medicines consists in
my ability subdue Inflammation instead of pro
voking it, as many of the faculty do. An nfamed
lung cannot with safety to the patient be exposed to
the biting blasts of winter or the chilling wind of
spring autumn. 1t should be carefully shielded
from all irritating Influences The utmost caution
should be observed in this particular as without it 4
cure under almost any circumstances is iinpossi
bility.
The person should be kept on wholesome and
nutritious diet and all the medicines continued I'M

flesh and strength.
