1HE CAUOE AND w NE Of CUNNU MI llON.
The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
ment of the digestive organs. Thissderangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation -
BY assimilation | mean that progress by which
the nutrimen Of the food is converted into blood,
and thence into the solids of the body. Persons
with digestion thus impaired. having the slight
est predispostion to pulmonary disease, or if
they take cold, will be yery liable 70 have Con-
sumption of the Lungs in some of its forms; and
[ hold that it will be impossible to cure any
of Consumption without first restoring good di-
gestion and healthy assimilation The very first
thing to be done is TO cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime, which
is clogging these organs SO that they cannot per-
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to a healthy action. For this pur-
pose the surest and best remedy is Schenck's Man
drake 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 Hp to new
and healthy action, by wlicf NATURAL gnd lealthy
bile is secreted.
The stomach, and bowels, and liver are thus
cleansed by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills;

this that Schenck' Seawecd Tonic proves to the
most valuable remedy ever discovered tits al
kaline, and its use will ncutralize all excess of
acid making the stomach sweet and fresh; it will
give permanent zone to this important organ, and
create good, hearty appetite, and prepare the
system for the first progress OF g good digestion.
and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood.
After this preparatory treatment, what remains
to cure most cases of Cousump tion is the free and
Of CchnpeE'c Pulrnonic SUrun
The Pulmonjc Syrup rourishss the system, puri-
fes the blood and is readily absorbed into the Cir
culation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, wheth-
er IN the form of assesses or tubercles, and then
assists Nature to cxpel all the diseased matter, in
the form of free expectoration, when once it ri

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
gat strong fla person has diseased lungs,-a
cavity or abscess there,-the cavity cannot heal,
the matter cannot ripen, so long as the system Is
below par. What is necessary to cure is a new
order Of things-a good appetite, good nutri-
ton, the body to grow in flesh and get fat then
Nature is helped, the cavities will heal. the mat
ter will ripen and be thrown off in large quanti-
ties, and the person regain health and strength.
This is the true and only plan to cure Consump

not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung Is en-

This is What Schencks Medicines will do to cure
Consumption They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get W good diges-
ton, 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.
Its important that while using Schenck's Med
icnes, care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep in doors in cold and damp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in
genial and warm sunshine.
