solids of the body. Persons with DIGESTION thus inn
paired having the Slightest predip ,sition to pull
monary disease, OF If they take cold will be very IL
able to have Consumption OF the Lungs in some of
its forms; and hold that it will be impossible to cure
anycase consumption without first restoring good
digestion and healthy assimila ion he very first
thing done is to cleanse the smach and wels

the use OF Sch ncks Mandrake Pilb; but there re-
mains in the stomach an excess oiac:d, the organ
is torpid and the appetite poor In the bowels the
lacteas are weak and require strength and support.
