1.-THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION.
1.-The primary cause OF Consumption Is derange-
ment OF the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By
assimilation mean that process by which the nu-
trlment 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 disease, or If they take
cold, will be very liable to have Consumption of
the Lungs in some of its forms and hold that it
will be impossible to any case of Consumption
without first restoring 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 so
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 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 out the liver of all diseased
bile that has accumulated there, and rouse 1t up to
new and healthy action by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use OF Schencks Mandrake Pills. but there
remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the
organ is torpid and the appetite poor In the bow
els the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support. 1t is in a condition like this that
Sshencks Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline,
and its will neutraZe all excess of acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; it will give per-
manent 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 remains
to cure most cases of Consumption is the free
and perseyering use OF Schencks Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purl-
hes the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased

This is what Schenck's Medicines viii 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 ali the disease that is in the lungs
whatever the form may be.
It is important that while using Schenck's Medi-
cines. care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep indoors in cold and damp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only In
genial and warm sunshine.

mend patient to be careful in regard 10 taking
cold, while using my Medicines, l do so for special
reason, a who has but partially recovered
a relapse than one who has been entirely cured;
and il is precisely the same in regard to Consump-
ton SO long the lungs are not perfectly healed
just long is there imminent danger OF full re-
ousy caution pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to atmosphere that is not genial and
pleasant. Confirmed Consnmptives' lungs are a
mass Of sores, which the least change of atmoS-
cess with my Medicines consists in my ability to
subdue inflammation instead Of provoking 1t, as
many of the faculty do. An infamed lung cannot
with safety to the patient, be exposed to the biting

all irritating influences. The utmost caution
should be observed in this particular, without 1t
