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

~ THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON.
SUMPTloN.-Thc primary cause Of Consump-
ton is arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
similaiiou. By assimilation, imcan that process
by which the nUtrimcut Of the food Is converted
into blood and thence into the solids Of the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the
slightest predisposition 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 Il will be impossible 10 cure any case
OF Consumption without first restoring q good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing to be done l. to cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
are clogging these organs that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to . healthy action. For this pur.
pose, the surcst and best remedy is Schcncks
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 hAa accomplished th"re. md aronse n M To

healthy bile l. sccrc,cl
The stomach. bowels, and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of schcuck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains in the stomach an excess Of acid, the Or

Schcnck's Scawc,d Touis proves TO be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline,
and its use will noutralizc all excess Of acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t will give
permanent tone 10 this important organ, and Gre
ate good, hearty appetite, and prepare the sys-
tenn for the first process of good digestion, and
ultimately make good healthy, living blood. As
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to
cure most cases Of Consumption Is the free and
pcrsevcrng use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourshcs the system, puri-
hes the blood, and is readily absorbed into tho
circulation, and thence distributed TO the diseased
lungs. There It rpcns all morbid matters, wheth-
or In the form Of Assesses or tubcrccs, and then
assists Nature TO cxpcl all the diseased matter In
the form Of free expectoration, when once It ri.

The essential thing TO DO done in curing Con-

digestion, so that the body will grow In flesh an Il
