r. THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUME

sE THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUME
TION.-The primary cause Of Consumption is de-
rangement Of the digestive organs This derance-
ment produces deficient nutrition and assimilation
By assimilation, Imean that process by which the nu
trent Of the food is converted into blood and thence
into the solids Of the body Persons with Digestion
thus impaired, having the slightest predispositon to
pulmonary disease or 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
agood digestion 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 perform
their functions, and then 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 ont the liver Of all
diseased bile that has accumulated there, and arouse
il up to new and healthy action, by which natural
and healthy bile is secreted.
Ifhe stomach, bowels and liver are thus ceansed
by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach of acid, the organ
is torpid and the appetite poor In the bowels the
aceals weak, and requiring strength and support
II is in condition like this that Schencks Seaweed
discovered. 1t is alkaline and its use will neutralize
all excess Of acid, making the stomach sweet and
fresh 1t will give permanent tone to this important
organ and create good hearty appetite, and prepare
the system for the first process of good dges tion
and ultimately make good, healthy living blood AZ
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to cure
most cases of Consumption is the free and perseyer-
ing use Of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulmon-
ic Syrup nourshes the system puries the blood and
is readily absorbed into the circulation and thence
distributed 10 the diseased lungs There it ripens all
morbid matters, whether in the form of assesses
tubercles and then assists Nature 10 expel all the dis

once It ripens. 1t is them by the great healing and
purifying properties Of schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,

ton is to get up good appetite good digestion,

effects Of bad cold is far liable to relapse than
one who has been entirely cured. and it is precisely
the same in regard to Consumption. So long as the
