The Cause and Cure Of Consumption.

The primary cause of Consumption is arrangement
Of the digestive organs. This arrangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. by assimilation

food is converted into blood, and thence into the
solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus
impaired having the slightest predisposition to pull

liable to have Consumption of the Lungs in some OF
its forms; and l hold that it will be impossible TO
any of Consumption without first restoring
good digestion and healthy assi.nilalon The very
first thing to be done is to cleanse the stomach and
bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which is
clogging these organs that they cannot perform
their functions, and then rouse up and restore the
liver 10 healthy action; For this purpose, the
surest and best remedy is Schenc&s 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 it up to new and healthy action,
by which natural and healthy bile is:secreted
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus ceansed
BY the Of Schencks Mandrake Pills: but there
remains in the stomach an excess of acid the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is poor. In the bowels,

neutralizc all excess of acid, making the stomach

important organ, and create good, hearty appetite,
and prepare the system Tor the first process of good
digestion, and ultimately make good, healthy, living

This is what Schenck's medicines will do to
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,

system OF all the disease that is II the lungs, what
ever the form may be.

than who has been entirely cured and it is pre-
cisely the same in regard to Consumption. SO long
as the lungs not perfectly healed Just so long is
there imminent danger of full return OF the disease.
Hence it is that so strenuously caution pulmonary
patients against exposing themselves to an atmos-
phere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed
