HOW TO CURE CONSUMPTION.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DR. sCHENCK 8 GREAT
MEDIOINES-wnl people never learn to know that
diseased liver and stomach necessarily disease
the entire system7 The planest principles Of COM
mon sense teach this and yet there are thousands
who rdcule the idea and continue In a course which
almost inevitably brings them prematurely 10 the
grave. Living, as the majority OF the people do, at
complete variance with the laws Of nature it must
be apparent to all that, sooner later, nature will
revenge herself. Hence 1nd that persons who
Indulge to excess in the OF very rich or ind-
gestible food or intoxicating drinks, invariably pay
heavy peHalty in the end. The stomach becomes
disordered, and refuses to act; the liver fails 10
perform its functions; dyspepsia and its
attendant evils follow, and still the suffering indi-
viduas persist in clinging to the thoroughly ex-
ploded ideas Of the past. Dr. Schenck's medicines
are recommended to all SUCH They bring sure and
certain relief wherever they are used as directed
and all that is necessary to establish their reputa-
tion with every ailing man or woman in the nd is
a fair and impartial trial OF them. Let those who

1t may be asked, by those who are not familiar
with the virtues OF these great remedies "How do
DR.. Schencks medicines effect theG wonderful cures
OF Consumption"
The answer is a simple one. They begin their
work OF restoration by bringing the stomach, liver

Mandrake Pills act on the liver and stomach, pro-
noting healthy secretion, and removing the bile and
slime which have resulted from the inactive or tor
pld condition OF these organs and OF the system
generally. This sluggish state of the body and the
consequent accumulation Of the unhealthy sub
stances named prevent the proper digestion OF food
and as natural consequence create disease, which
results in prostration, and finally in death.

only true cure for consumption. Experience has

sands are to-day alive and well who few years
since were regarded hopeless cases, but who were
induced to try Dr. Scbencks remedies, and were re-
stored to permanent health by their use.
One OF the first steps the physician shou d take
with consumptve patient is to invigorate the sys-
TEN. Now, how is this to be done? Certainly not
by giving medicines that exhaust and enervate-
medicines that impair instead of improve the func-
tions OF the digestive organs Or. Schencks medi-
cines cleanse the stomach and bowels OF all SUBJ
stances which calculated to irritate or weaken
them. They create an appetite-promote healthfal
digestion-make good blood, and, as a consequence,
they nvigorate and strengthen the entire system,
and more especially those parts which diseased.
II this cannot be done, then the case must be re-
garded as a hopeless one
II The physician feds it impossible TO make a
patient feel hungry, If the diseased person cannot
partake OF good pourshing food and properly dgest
It, 1t is Impossible that he gain flesh and
strength; and 1t is equally impossible to bring a
patient to this condition long the liver is bur.
deBed with diseased bile. and the stomach laden
with unhealthy slime.
Almost the first request made to the physician by
consumptiye patient is that he will prescribe medi-
cine that will remove or alay the cough, night
sweats and chills, which the sure attendants on
Consumption. But this should not be done, for the
cough is only effort of nature to relieve itself aud
the night sweats and chis are caused by the dis
eased lungs. The remedies ordinarily prescribed do
more harm than good. They impair the functions
or the stomach, impede healthy digestion, aggra-
vate rather than cure the disease.
There 10, after ALL nothing like facts with which
to substantiate position, and it is upon facts that
DE- Schenck relies. Nearly all who have taken his
medicines in accordance with his directions have
not only been cured OF consumption, but from the
fact that these medicines act with wonderful power
upon the digestive organs, patients thus cured
speedily gain flesh. Cleansing the system OF ali i'm
purties they lay the foundation for solid substan-
tial structure. Restoring these organs to health,
they create an appetite. The food is properly as
simulated; the quantity OF blood is not only in
creased but it is made rich and strong and IN tue
face OF such condition OF the system all diseases
must be banished
Full directions accompany each OF the medicines,
that it is not absolutely necessary that patients
should see Dr. Schenck personally unless they de-
sire TO have lungs examined.

examination with the ResprOmeter the charge is
