CONSUMPTION.
ITS CURE AND ITS PREVENTIVE
BY DIR. j. H. SCHENCK, MD.

~ THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
SCMPTIoN.-The primary cause Of Consump-
ton is arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
similation. by assimilation. mean that process
by which the nutriment Of the food IL converted
into blood and thence into the solids OF the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the
slightest prcdisposition TO pulmonary disease, or
II they take cold, will be very liable to have Con-
sumption Of the Lungs in some OF Its forms and
hold that II will be impossible TO cure any case
OF Consumption without first restoring n good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing TO be done IL to cleanse tho stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
are cogging these organs so that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to n healthy action. For this pur.
pose, the surest and best remedy is Schcnck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels OF all tho dead and morbid slime that

They will clear ont the liver Of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there, and arouse 1t up to a
new healthy action, by which natural ~ncf
healthy bile /. sccretcd.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleanscd
by the use OF Schenck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains in the stomach an excess Of acid, the Or
gan 10 torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow

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 neutralize all excess Of acid, max.
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t will give
permanent tone 10 this important organ, and Gre
ate good, hearty appetite. and prepare the sys-
tenn for the Arst process Of good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy living blood. A.
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains 70
cure most cases Of Consumption IL tho free and
Persevering use Of Schencks Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pumonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
nes the blood, and Is readily absorbed into tho
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There 1t ripens all morbid matters, whcth-
er In the form Of Assesses tubcrcles, and thea
assists Nature to expel oil the diseased matter In
the form Of free expectoration, when once 1t ri.

ing properties Of Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup,
that oil ulcers and cavities are healed up sound,
and my patient is cured.
Tho essential thing to be done In curing Con-
sumption Is TO get up good appetite and a good
digestion, so that tho body will grow In flesh and
get strong. 1fa person has diseased lungs q cav
