The Cause and Cure of Consumption.

The primary cause Of Consumption is derange-
mcnt OF the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation l 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, will BIO very liable TO have Consumption OF
tho Lungs in some Of its ferns; and hold that
it will be impossible to cure any case of Consump.
ton without first restoring good digestion and
healthy assimilation. The very first thing to be
done is to cleanse tho stomach and bowels from
all diseased mucus and slime which ia ologging
these organs 20 that they cannot perform their
functions, and then rouse up and restore the lv-
er to a healthy action. For this purpose the sur
est and best remedy is Schcnck's Mandrake Pills
These Pills cleanse the stomach and bowels Of all
the dead and morbid slime that is causing disease
and decay in the whole system. They will clear
out the liver Of all diseased bile that has accumu
lated there, and arouse it up to new and healthy
action, by which natural and healthy bile is se-
creted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleans
ed by the use Of schenck's Mandrake Pills; but
there remains in the stomach an excess of acid,
the organ ia forbid, and tho appetite s poor In
the bowels, the lacteals are weak, and requiring
strength and support. IL is in a condition like
this that schenck's Seawced Tonic proves to be
L
alkaline, and its will neutralize all excess Of
acid, making the stomach sweet and fresh twill
give permanent tone to this important organ and
create II good. hearty appetite, and prepare the
system for the first process Of good digestion and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. AZ
ter this preparatory treatment what remains to
most of consumption is the free and per
scvering use of Schenck- Pulmonic Syrup. The
Pulmonic syrup nourishcs the system, puri6es the
blood and is readily absorbed into the circulation
and thence Distributed To the diseased form ofabs-
cesses and tuberceI and then assists Nature u
expel all the diseased matter in tho form of free
expectoraton, 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 il
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 he thrown of in large quantities
and the person regain health and strength. Thil
is the true and only plan to cure Consumpti on
and il a 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 othel
20 heal up, there is hope.

sound lung, live and enjoy life to q good old age
This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure
Consumption They will clean out the stomach
sweeten and strengthen it, got up good diges
ton, and give Nature the assistance she needs te
clear the system of all the disease that Is in the
lungs, whatever the form may be.
1t Is important that, while using Schenck'i

taking cold while using my medicines, do y

more liable to a relapse than one who has beer
entirely cured, and it is precisely the same in
gard to consumption. So long as the lungs arr
not perfectly healed, just so long is there immi

infamed lung cannot with safety 10 the patien
be exposed to the biting blasts of winter or tn
chilling winds Of spring or autumn. 1t shoul

The utmost caution should be observed In thl
particular, as without it cure under almost an
circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome an
nutritious diet an all the medicines continue
until tho body has restored to it the nsturs
quantity Of flesh and strength.
