~THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
SUMPTION. -The primary cause Of Consump-
ton 10 arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
similation. By assimilation, 1mean that process
by which the nutrimcnt Of the food Is converted
into blood, and thence into the solids Of the body
Petsons with digestion thus impaired, having the
slightest predisposition to pulmonary disease, or
II they take cold, win be very liable to have Con.
sumption Of the Lungs in some Of It's forms; and
hold that 1t win be impossible to cure any case
Of Consumption without Arst restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilation The very first
thing to be done IL TO cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
ciogging these organs 20 that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to healthy action. For this pur.
poee, the eurest and best remedy is Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels Of all the dead aud morbid slime that
iscausing disease and decay in the whole system.
They will clear ont the liver Of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there. and arouse II up TO a
new and healthy action. by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cieaneed
by the use Of Schenck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains In the stomach IN excess Of acid, the or
gan is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els. the acteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support It Is in condition like this that
Schenck's Seawecd Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It 10 alkaline,
and its use win neutralixc all excess OF acid, max.
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; It win give
permanent tone to this important organ, and Gre
ate good, hearty appetite. and prepare the eys-
tenn for the arst process Of . good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. AZ.
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases OF Consumption IL the free and
persevering use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
ncs the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs There itripene all morbid matters, wheth-
or In the form of assesses or tuberccs, and then
assists Nature TO expcl all the diseased matter in
the form Of frcc cxpectoration, when once IL RI

ing properties Of Schcnck'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-
