The Cause and Cure Of Consumptiop.

Tho primary cause of Consumption is derangc.
mont OF tho digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation mean that process by which the nu-
triinont OF the food is converted into blood, and
thence into the solids Of the body Persons with
digestion thus impaired, having the slightest pre-
disposition to pulmonary discpse, or if they take
cold, will be very liable to have Consumption of
tho Lungs in Of its forms and | hold that
1t will 10 impossible to cure any case Of Consume
ton without first restoring good digestion and
healthy ASST nilation. Tho very first thing to DO
done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels from
all diseased mucus and slime which Is clogging
those organs that they cannot perform their
functions, aud then rouse up and restore the iv-
or tO a healthy action. For this purpose tho sur
est and best remedy is Schcncks 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 accumu
lated there, and arouse it up to new and healthy
action, by which natural and healthy bile is Sc
GREETED.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleans
cd by the use Of schenck's Mandrake Pills; but
there remains in the stomach an excess Of acid,
the organ is forbid, and tho appetite is poor. In
the bowels, the lacteals are weak, and recurring
strength and support. 1t is in a condition like
this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to DO
the most valuable remedy ever discovered 1t is
alkaline, and its will neutralize all excess of
acid making the stomach sweet and fresh; it will
give permanent tone to this important organ, and
create good. hearty appetite, and prepare the
system for the frstprocess Of good digestion and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. AZ
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases of consumption is the free and per-
severing use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. The
Pulmonc Syrup nourishes the system, purifes the
blood, and is readily absorbed into the circulation
and thence distributed to the diseased form of abs
cesses and tubercles, and then assists Nature to
expel all the diseased matter in the form of free
| expectoration, when once it ripens. 1t is then,
by the great healing and purifying properties of
Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup, that all ulcers and
cavities are healed up sound, 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
get strong. If person has diseased lungs, a cav
ity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the
matter cannot ripen, so long the system is be.

This is what Schenck's medicines will do to cur
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach

more liable to relapse than ono who has bee
