The Cause and Cure of COnsum PtlOn.
The primary cause OF Consumption is arrangement
of the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY assimila-
ton mean toat process by which the nutriDent OF
the food is converted into blood and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thua I'M

monary disease, or If they take ccd will bevery Ii
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some OF
its foms and hold that it will be impossible to cure
any caseo Consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilation. 1he very first
thing to be done to cleanse The stomach and owes
from all diseased mucus and slime which is clogg ing
these organs so that they cannot perform their unc-
tons, aad 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 is causing disease and decay in the
whole s. SEM They will clear out the liver of all
diseased bile that has accumulated there aid arouse
it up to new aud beatty action, by which natuI al
and healthy bile is secreted. -,. f.. ..
The stomach bowels and liver are thus cleansed by
the use OF Sch ncks Mandrake Pills; but there re-
mains in the stomach an excess OF acid, the organ
is torpid and the appetite is poor. In the bowels the
lacteals weak and require strength and support.
1t is in condition like this that Schencks Seaweed
Tonic proves to he the most valuable remedy ever
discovered 1t Is alkaline, aud its will neutralize
all excess OF acid, making the stomach sweet and
fresh; it will give permanent tone to ths 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 this preparatory treatment, what remains
cure most cases OF Consumption is the tree and per-
severing use OF SchencA's Puimonc Syrup. The
Pumonic Syrup Doui ishes the system, purifes the
blood aud is readily absorbed into the circulation,
and thence Distributed to the diseased lungs There
it ripens all morbid matters whether in the form OF
assesses or tubercles and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form OF free
pectoraton when once it ripeus. 1t is then, by the
great healing and purifying properties OF Seheneks
Pulmonic that all ulcers and cavities he al

The grand secret OF my success with my medicines
