The Cause and Cure of Consumptio

The primary cause of Consumption is derange
neDt of the digestive organs. This arrangement
| assimilation mean that process by which the nu
triment 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 ofthe
Lungs in some of its FORMS and hold that it will
| be impossible to any of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very first thing be done is to
| cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucus and slime which is cloggng these organs
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 new and healthy action, by which natural and
| healthy bile is secreted.
| The stomach, bowels and liver thus cleansed
by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach excess of acid, the organ
| is torpid and the appetite is poor. In the bowels
The lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and
| Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable
remedy ever discovered. 1t is alkaline and ts use
ach sweet and fresh it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create good, hearty APP
petite and prepare the system for the first process
| of good Digestion and ultimately make good
healthy living blood. After this preparatory treat
ment, what remains to cure most cases Of consump-
| ton is the free and perservering of Schenck's
| Pulmoric Syrup. The Pulmonc Syrup nourishes
the system, purifes the blood, and is readily alb
| sorbed into the circulation and thence distributed
| to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid
matters whether in the form of assesses tuber-
cles and then assists Nature to expel all the dis
eased matter in the form of free expectoration when
once it ripens. 1t is then, by the great healing and
purifying properties of Schenck's Puimonic Syrup,
that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound,
and my paclent is cured
The essential thing to be done in curing Consump-
ton is to get up good appetite and good diges.

What is necessary to cure is new order OF things,
good appetite, good nutrition, the body to grow
in flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped, the

cure Consumption, and if person is very bad, if
the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even one
lung is entirely gone if there is enough vitality left

| 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
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digestion,
the system of all the disease that is in the lungs,
whatever the form may be-
1t is important that while using Schenck's medi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold;
keep indoors in cool and camp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only in geni.
al and warm sunshine.
I wish it distinctly understood that when recon-
mend patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold while using my medicines, do SO for special
reason. A man who has but partially recovered
from the effects of bad cold is far more liable to
relapse than one who has been entirely cured, and
it is precisely the same in regard to consumption.
So long the lungs not perfectly healed just
long is there imminent danger of full return of the
disease Hence it is that / so strenuously caution
pulmonary patients agant exposing themselves to
an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant.
Confirmed consumptives' lungs are mass of sores,
which the least change of atmosphere will infame.
