THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON
SUMPTION.

The primary cause of consumption Is derange-
ment ofthe digestive organs, This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation
BY assimilation / mean that process by which
the nutriment ofthe food is converted into blood
and thence into the solids of the body Persons
with digestion thus impaired, having the slight
est pre-disposition to pulmonary disease, or if
they take cold will be very liable to have Con
sumption Of the Lungs in some gifts forms and
hold that it will be impossible to cure any case
of Consumption without first restoring a 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 clogging these organs so that they
cannot perform their functions, and 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 clean
the stomach and bowels ofall the dead and NOR
bid 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 rouse it up to new and healthy action,
by which natural and healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus clean
sed by the use of Schenck 5 Mandrake Pills but
there remains in the stomach an excess of acid
the organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In
the bowels the lacteals are weak, and requiring
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 making the stomach sweet and fresh it
will give permanent tone to this important or
gan, and create hearty appetite and prepare
the system for the first process of good diges-
ton and ultimately make good, healthy, living
blood. After this preparatory treatment, what
remaius to cure most cases Of Consumption Is
the free and persevering use Of Schencks Pull
monte Syrup The Pulmonic Syrup nourishe'
the system, purifies the blood, and is readily
absorbed into the circulation and thence dis
tributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens
ell morbid matters, whether in the form of alb
seesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature Il
expel all the diseased matter, in the form 0ffree
expectoration, when once it ripens. 1t is then
by the great healing and purifying properties
OF Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup that all ulcers
and cavities are healed up sound, and my pa
tient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing con
sumption is to get up good appetite and good
digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh
and get strong. fla person has diseased lungs
"a cavity or abscess there-the cavity cannot
heal the matter cannot ripen, so long as the
system is below par. What is necessary to cure
is new order Of thngs-a good appetite a
good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and
get fat then Nature is helped the cavities will
heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown off in
large quantities and the person regain health
and strength. This is the true and only plan to
cure consumption, and if person is very bad,
if the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even
if one lung is entirely gone, if there is enough
vitality left in the other TO heal up, there is
hope.
Ihave seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung live and enjsy life TO a good old
age. This is what Sehenck's Medicines will
do to cure Consumption. They will clean out
the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up
IA good digestion and give Nature the assistance
she needs TO clear the system of all the disease
that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be.
1t is important that while using Schenck' $
Medicines, care must be exercised not to take
cole keep indoors in cold and damp weather ;
avoid night air, and take outdoor exercise only
in genial and warm sunshine.
/ wish il distinctly understood that when |

taking cold, while using my Medicines, do so
for a special reason, A man who has but partly
recovered Fl ON the effects of bad cold is fan
more liable TO a relapse than one who has been
entirely cured and it is precisely the same IN
regard to Consumption. SO long as the lungs
are not perfectly healed, just so long is there

fame The grand secret of my success with my
Medicines consists in my ability to subdue infla-
nation instead Of provoking it, as many Of the
faculty do An infamed lung cannot, with safe
ty to the patient, be exposed to the biting blasts
Of Winter or the chilling winds Of Spring
or Autumn. 1t should be carefully shielded
from all irritating Influences. The utmost eau
ton should be observed in this particular, as
without it a cure under almost any circumsla an
ces is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on wholesome
and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines CON
tinued till the body has restored to it the natural
quantity of flesh and strength. l was mysel

have been cured by this treatment whom bav'
