ITS CURE AND ITS PREVENTIVE
BY DIR. j. II. sCHENCK, NJ. D.

|" THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
SUMPTIoN.-The primary cause Of Consump-
tion 10 arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
similation. BY assimilation, mean that process
by which the nutriment Of the food Is converted
into blood, and thence into the solids Of the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having tho
slightest predispositon TO pulmonary disease, or
II they take cold, will be very liable to have Con.
sumption Of the Lungs in some of its forms and
/ hold that 1t will be impossible to cure any
Of Consumption without frst restoring a good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing to be done 10 TO cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased Inucus and slime which
are eoggiHg these organs go that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to healthy action. For this pur.
pose, the surest and best remedy Is Schenck's

They will clear out the liver Of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there, and arouse Il up TO a
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile Is secreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleanscd
BY the use Of Schenck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains In the stomach an excess Of acid, the Or
gan 10 torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow

valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline.

ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t will give
permanent tone to this important organ, and cre-
ate . good, hearty appetite, and prepare the sys-
tom for the nrst process Of good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. AZ
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases Of Consumption 10 the free and
yersevcring use Of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Puimonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
hes the blood, and is readily absorbed into tho
circulation and thence distributed 10 the diseased
lungs. There II ripens all morbid matters, whcth-
er in the form Of Assesses or tubercles and then
assists Nature to expcl all the diseased matter In
the form Of FREQ expectoration, when onco IL ri.

ing properties Of Schencks Pumonc 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, cav
