CONSUMPTION.
ITS CURE AND IT'S PREVENTIVE
BY DIR. j. II. SCHENCK. VI. ID.

So THE CAUSE AND CURE OF COM
sCMPTION.-Thc primary cause Of Consump-
ton is arrangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and as
similntiol. By assimilation. Imean that proccst
bywhich the nu'rimcu, % the food is converted
into blood, and thence !u;o the solids of the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired, having tho
slightest prcdisposiiiou 20 pulmonary disease, or
If they take cold. will be very liable to have Con-
sumption ofthc Lungs In some oflts forms and
hold that It will be impossible to cure any case
of Consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing TO be done a. 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 I'D and re-
store the liver TO healthy action. For this pur.
pose, the srrcst and best remedy is Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach
and bowels Of all the dead and morbid slime that
iscausng disease and decay in the whole system.
They will clear ont the liver o. all diseased bio
that has accumulated there, and arouse 1t up to
new and healthy action. 10y which natural and
healthy bile il secrctcd.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansed
by the use OF Schcnck's Mandrake Pills but thero
remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the or
gan is torpid and the appetite poor In the bow
els, the lacteals are weak and requiring strength
and support. 1t is in condition like this that
Schenck's Seawccd Tonic proves TO be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t Is alkaline,
and Its use will ncutralize all excess Of acid max
ing tho stomach sweet and frcsh 1t will give
permanent tone TO this important organ, and cre-
ate good, hearty appetite, and prepare the sys-
TEN for the first process Of good digestion, ana
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. AZ.
ter this preparatory treatment, what remains TO
cure most cases OF Consumption is the free and
perseverng use Of Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pumonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fcs the blood, and Is readily absorbed into the
circulation. and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There itripens all morbid matters, wheth-
er In the form of abscesscs or tubcrclcs and then
assists Nature TO cxpcl all the diseased matter In
the form of free expectoratioB, when once It ri-
pens. 1t ia then, by the great healing and purify.
ing properties Of Schcncl's Pulmonic 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 mp n good appetite and good
digestion, 80 that the body viii grow In flesh and

sound lung, live and enjoy life TO a good old age.
This Is what Schenck's Medicines Will do 10 cur.
Consumption. They will clean ont the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digos-
ton, and give Nature the assistance she needs to
clear the system OF all the disease that is In the
lungs, whatever the form NAV be
- II is important that while using Schenck's
Medicines, care should be exercised not to take
cold keep indoors in cool and damp weather:
avoid nght-ar, and take outdoor exercise only
In genial and warm sunshine.

ing cold while using my medicines, | do so for a
special reason man who has but partially re.
severed from the effects Of a bad cold is far more
liable to relapse than one who has been entirely
cured, and II Is precisely the same in regard to
Consumption. So long as the lungs are not per.
iectly healed Just so long is there imminent dan.

that | SO strenuously caution pulmonary patients
against exposing themselves 10 an atmosphere
that is not genial and pleasant, Confirmed Con-
sumptivcs' lungs are n mass of sores, which tho
least change Of atmosphere will inname. The
grand secret Of my success with my medicines
consists in my ability 10 sHbdue inflammation in
stead of provoking 1t, a. many of the faculty do.
An innamcd lung cannot with safety To the pa
tient be exposed 10 the biting blasts OF winter or
the chilling winds Of spring or autumn. It
should be carefully shielded from all irritating In
nuences. The utmost caution should be observed
In this particular, a. without IL cure under al
most any circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept en- n wholesome and
nutritious dlet, and all tho medicines continsed
