I hold that Il will be impossible 20 cure any case
of Consumption without nr.t restoring good
digestion and healthy as Imitation. The very first
thing TO be done IA TO cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
ore cloggng these organs 50 that they cannot per.
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver TO q healthy action. For this pur.
pose, the surest and best remedy IL Schcnck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean tho stomach
and bowels of all the dead and morbid slime that
iscausing disease and decay in tho whole system.
They will clear ont the liver Of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there, and arouse It up TO a
new and healthy action by which natural and
healthy bile is secrctcd.
The stomach, bowels and liver arc thus cleansed
by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains in tho stomach an excess Of acid, the Or

permanent tone to this important organ, aad cro-
ate good, hearty appetite and prepare the sys-
TEN for the first process Of good digestion, ana
ultimately make good, healthy, lvias blood. AZ
ter this preparatory treatment what remains to
cure most cases OF Consumption IL tho free and

The Puimouic Syrup nourishcs the system, puri-
fes the blood, and Is readily absorbed into the
circulation. and thence distributed to the diseased
