JTHE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
The primary cause OF Consumption is dernnge-
ment of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation 1 mean that process by which the nu-
trment 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 10 pulmonary disease, OF If they take
cold, will be very liable to have Consumption OF
the 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 10 be done is to
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucus and slime, which is cogging these organs so
that they cannot perform their functions, and then
rouse up and restore the liver TO healthy action.
For this purpose the surest and best remedy is
Schenck's Mandrake Pills These Pills clean 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 accumulated there, and rouse It up to
a new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile Is secreted
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
organ Is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els the lscteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support, 1t is in a condition like this that
Schencks Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline,
and its will neutralize all excess OF acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t will give per
manent tone to this important organ, and create
a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process Of q good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Amer this preparatory treatment what remains
TO cure most cases of Consumption is the free
and persevering use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pumonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fes the blood, and Is readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs There 1t ripens all morbid matters, whether

It IS important that while using schencks Medl-
cines care should be exercised not to take cold;
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in a
genial and warm sunshine.
wish il distinctly understood that when recon-
mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold, while using my Medicines, 1 do so for special
reason. a man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable to
a relapse than one who has been entirely cured:
and II is precisely the same in regard to Consump
ton. so long as the lungs are not perfectly healed,
just so long is there imminent danger Of full re-
ously caution pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves TO an atmosphere that is not genial and
pleasant Confirmed Consumptives' lungs are a
mass of sores, which the least change of atmos-
phere will infiame. The grand secret of my sue.
cess with my Medicines consists In my ability 10
subdue Inflammation instead of provoking 1t,
many of the faculty do. An infiamed lung cannot,

blasts of Winter or the chilling winds of Spring

azure under almost any circumstances is an impos-

The person should be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued
until the body has restored to it the natural quantity
OF mesh and strength.
