GREETED
| The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clcnns-
ed by tho use Of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but
there remains In the stomach an excess of ncid
the organ is forbid, and tho appetite is poor In
the bowels, the lacteals are weak, and recurring
strength and support. 1t is in a condition liko
this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be
the most valuable remedy ever discovered. II is
alkaline, and its use will neutralze all excess of
acid making the stomach sweet and fresh; it will
give permanent tone to this important organ and
create good, hearty appetite, and prepare the
system for the first process of good igestion and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood Az
ter this preparatory treatment what remains to
cure most cases OF consumption is the free and per-
severing use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. The
Puimonic syrup nourshes the system, purifes the
blood and is readily absorbed into the circulation,

cesses and tuberces, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form of free
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 patient 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. If person has diseased lungs a cav
ity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal the
matter cannot ripen, so long rs the system Is be-
low par What is necessary to cure is new Or
der OF things good appetite, good nutrition,
the body to grow in flesh and get fat then Ma
ture is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter
will ripen and be thrown of in large quantities
and the person regain health and strength. This
is the true and only plan to cure Consumpti on,
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

sound lung live and enjoy life to a good old age.
This is what Schencks medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,

tion 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's
medicines, care should be exercised not to take
cold; keep indoors in cool and damp weather
avoid night air, and take outdoor exercise only

moro liable to a relapse than who has been

tients against exposing themselves to an atmos-
phere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed

grand secret of my success with my medicines con-
sists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
| of provoking it, as many Of the faculty do. An
inhamed lung cannot with safety 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 caution should be observed in this
particular, as without it a cure under almost any
circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the medicines continued
until the body has restored to it the natural
quantity of flesh and strength.
