rhe Cause and Gu. e Of Consumption.


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 Dutriment OF
the food converted into blood, and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion t,us i'm
paired, having the slightest predsposition to pull
monary disease, if they take Geld, will be very IL
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some OF
its forms; and hold that it will be impossible to cure
anyicase Consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilation. he very first
thing be done is to cleanse The stomach and bowels
from all diseased mucus and slime which is clogging
these organs SO that they cannot perform their func
TONS and then rouse uI ami restore the liver TO
healthy action. Forthis purpose tue surest and best
remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills
cleanse the stomach ami bowels OF all the dead and
morbid slime that causing disease and decay in the
whole ysem. They will clear out the liver OF all
diseased bile that has uated there ard arouse
it up TO a new aud heaty action, by which natural
ana healthy blIe is secrete0.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus ceanSed by
the of Sch nck's Mandrake Pills. but there re-
mains in the stomach an excess OF acid, the organ
torpid, and the appetite is poor In the bowels the
lacteas are weak, and require strength and support
1t is in condition like this that Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever
discovered. 1t is alkaline, and its use will neutraze
| all excess OF acid. making the s-omach sweet and
fresh; it will give permanent tone to thS important
organ, and create good, hearty appetite, and pre-
parete system for the fist process OF coed digestion
| aud ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Alter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases OF p,ion is the Tree and per-
severing use of Schenck's Pumonic Syrup. The
Pulmonic Syrup pourshes the system, purfes the

great healing and purifying properties OF Sehencks
Pumonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities he al
