CONSUMPTION.
ITS CURE AND IT'S PREVENTIVE
BY DIR. J. II. SCHENCK, NJ. d.

tJ- TIE CAUSE AND CURE OF con.
SUMPTION.-Thc primary cause Of Consump-
ton is arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition aud as.
similation by assimilation Imcan that process
by which the nu,rimcn; OF the food Is converted
into blood and thence INTO the solids Of the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having tho
slightest prcdispositon to pulmonary disease, or
If 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 case
Of Consumption without first restoring q good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very frs.
thing TO be done Is TO cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
clogging these organs 80 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 Schencks
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels Of all the dead and morbid slime that
is scausing disease and decay in the whole system.
They will clear out the liver Of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there and arouse II up to
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile Is secrctcd.
The stomach bowels, and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Schcnck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains in the stomach an 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. 1t is in q condition like this that
Schenck's Seawecd Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t Is alkaline,
and its use will ncutralzc all excess Of acid max.

permanent tone TO this important organ and cre-
ate a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the sys-
TEN for the first process of good digestion, ana
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. AZ
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases Of Consumption IL the free ana
pcrsevcring use Of Schenck'5 Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fes the blood. and Is readily absorbed into tho
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There itripens all morbid matters, wheth-
in the form of assesses or tubercles, and then
assists Nature 20 oSpc all the diseased matter In
the form Of free cxpcctoation, when once 1t ri.
