gB- THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
SUMPTl0N-The primary cause of Consamp-
ton Is arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as.
similation. BY assimilation, Imean that process
by which tho nutriment OF the food is converted
into blood and thence into the solids OF the body
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the
slightest predisposition TO pulmonary disease or
if they take cold viii be very liable to have Con-
sumption Of the Lungs in some Of its forms; and
Ihold that 1t will be impossible to cure any case
| Of Consumption without first restoring q good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very fret
thing to be done Is to cleanse the stomach and
bowels nom all diseased mucus and slime which
are cogging these organs 90 that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse mp and re-
store the liver to healthy action. For this DUR.
| pose, the surest and best remedy is Echenck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels of all the dead and morbid slime that
iscausfng disease and decay IN the whole system
They will clear out the liver OF all deceased bile
that has accumulated there, and arouse Il up to
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted. rEss
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansed
by the use Of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach an excess Of acid, the or
gan Is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow.
els, the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support. 1t is in q condition like this that
schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to bethe most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline,
and its use win neutralize all excess OF acid max.
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t viii give
permanent tone to this important organ, and Gre
ate good, hearty appetite, and prepare the sys-
tenn for the first process Of good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood AT.
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases OF Consumption Is the free and
persevcrng use OF Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fcs the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs There II ripens all morbid matters, wheth.
er in the form of assesses or tubercIes and then
assists Nature to expel all the diseased matter in
the form Of free expectoration, when once 1t ri
pens. It Is then, by the great healing and purify
ing properties of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound.

sound lung, live and enjoy life to good old age.
This is what Schenck' e Medicines win do 10 cnre
Consumption They will clean out the stomach,

clear the system of all the disease that is in the
lungs, whatever the form may be.
IL Is important that while using Schepck's
Medicines, care should be exercised not TO take
cold keep indoors in cool and damp weather:
avoid nightair, and take outdoor exercise only
