fhe Cause aud Cure Of Consumption.

The primary cause OF Consumption is arrangement
OF the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation, BY assimilation
| mean that process by which the nutriment 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 pull
monary disease, or il they take cold, will be very
liable to have Consumption of the Lungs in some OF
its forms; and | hold that ii will be impossible 10
cure any case OF Consumption without first reso ring
good 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
cloggng these organs Sc 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 Schencks Mandrake Pills
These Pills cleanse 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 arouse it up to and healthy action,
by which natural and healthy bile is secreted.
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 is poor In the bowels
the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and
support. 1t is in condition like this that Schencks
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable rem
edy discovered. 1t is alkaline, and its use will
neutrallze all excess OF acid, making the stomach
and fresh; it will give permanent tone to this
important organ, and create good hearty appetite,
and prepare the system for the first process OF good
digestion and ultimately make good, healthy, living
blood. After this preparatory treatment, what re-
and persevering use OF Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonc Syrup nourishes the system, purilies
the blood, and is readily absorbed into the circula
ton and thence distributed to the deceased lungs.
There it ripcns all morbid matters, whether in the
form of assesses tuberclcs, and then assists Ma
to eXpel all the diseased matter in the form of
free cXpectoration, when once il ripens. 1t is then,
by the great healing and purifying properties of
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cari-
ties are healed up sound, and my patient is cured
The essential thing to be done in curing Consump
ton is to get up good appetite and good digestion
that the body will grow in flesh and get strong.
If person has diseased lungs, Il cavity or abscess
there the cavity cannot heal the matter cannot rpen,
SO long as the system is below par. What is neces-
sary to is new order Of thngs,a good appetite,
agood nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and get
fat then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal the
matter will ripen and be thrown oil in large quanti-
ties, and the person regain health and strength.
This is the true and only plan to cure Consumption,
and if a person is very bad, if the lungs are not
entirely destroyed, even if lung is entirely
gone If there is enough vitality left in the other to
heal up, there is hope.
have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to good old age.
This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the
system of all the disease that is in the lungs, what
ever the form may be.
1t is important that, while using Schenck's medi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep in doors in cool and damp weather avoid night
air, and take outdoor exercise only i'll genial and
warm sunshine.

mend patient to be careful in regard to taking cold
while using my medicines, do so for special
the effects OF bad cold is far more liable to relapse
than one who has been entirely cured, and it is pre-
cisey the same in regard 10 Consumption. So long
the lungs not perfectly healed, just long is
there imminent danger of {, full return OF the disease
