The primary cause of Consumption is derange.
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By
assimilation mean that process by which the nu.
triment of the food is converted into blood, and
thence into the solids of the body. Persons with
digestion thus impaired, having the slightest pre-.
disposition to pulmonary disease, or If they take
cold viii be very liable to have Consumption ofthe
Lungs in some of its forms; and hold that it will
| be impossible to cure any case of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very first thing to be done is to
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucous 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

by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach an excess of acid the organ

have seen many persons cured with only
sound lung, live and enjoy life to good old age.
This is what Schenck's medicines win do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up 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's medi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep indoors in cool and camp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in gent
al and warm sunshine.
wish it distinctly understood that when recon-
mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold while using my medicines, do so for special
reason. man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable to
relapse than one who has been entirely cured, and
it is precisely the same in regard to consumption

fully shielded from all irritating influences. The
utmost caution should be observed in this particu

stances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on wholeso ne and
nutritious diet, and all the medicines continued
until the body has restored to it the natural quant
ty of flesh and strength.
