THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION

|
The primary cause of Consumption is derange
meutt of the digestive organs. This derangemen
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation
| By assimilation mean that progress by which
the nutriment of the food is converted into blood
and thence into the solids of the body Persons
with digestion thus impaired having the slight
est predisposition to pulmonary disease, or il
they take cold, will be very liable to have Con-
sumption of the Lungs in some of its forms; and
hold that it will be impossible to cure any case
of Consumption without first restoring good di-
gestion 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 clogging these organs so that they cannot per-
form their functions, and then rouse up and re-
store the liver to healthy action For this pur-
pose the surest and best remedy is Schenck's Man
drake 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 it up to new
and healthy action, by which natural and healthy
bile is secreted
The stomach, and bowels, and liver are thus
cleansed by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills;
but there remains i'll the stomach an excess of ac-
id, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor In
the bowels the lacteals are weak, and requiring
strength and support. 1t is in condition like
this THAT Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to the
most valuable remedy ever discovered It is al
kaline, and its use will neutralize all excess of
acid, making the stomach sweet and fresh it will
give permanent tone to this important organ, and
create a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the
system for the first progress Of o 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
persevering use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.

6es the blood and readily absorbed into the cir
culation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, wheth-
er IN the form of assesses tubercles and then
assists Nature to eNpel all the diseased matter in
the form of free expectoration, when once it ri
pens. 1t is them by the great healing and puri-
flying properties of Schenck'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 up good appetite and good
digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh and
get strong. Ii person has diseased ungs,-a
cavity or abscess there,-the cavity cannot heal,
the matter cannot ripen, so long as the system is
below par. What is necessary to cure is new
order Of things,-a good appetite, a good nutri-
ton, the body to grow in flesh and get fat ; then
Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the mat
ter will ripen and be thrown off in large quanti-
ties, and the person regain health and strength.
This is the true and only plan to cure Consump-
ton, and if person is very bad, if the lungs are
not entirely destroyed, or if one lung is en-
tirey gone if there is enough vitality LEFT in the
other to heal up, their is hope.
have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung. live and enjoy life to good old age
This is wtat Scheneks Medicines will do to cure
They will clean out the stomach, |
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good diges-
ton, and give Nature the assistance she needs to
clear the system of all the disease that is in the
lungs, whatever the form may be.
1t is important that while using Schenck's Med |
icines, care should be exercised not to take cold
keep in doors in cold and damp weather; avoid
night air, and take out door exercise only in a
genial and warm sunshine.

ing cold, while using my medicines, do so for a
special reason. 4 man who has but partially re- |
covered 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 as the Lungs not per-
fecty healed, just so long is there imminent dan
ger of full return of the di ease Hence it is |

against exposing themselves atmosphere

grand secret of my success with my Medicines
siss in my ability to subdue inflammation instead Of

carefully shielded from all irritating influences.
The utmost caution should be observed IN this
as without it a cure uader almost any
circumstances is an impossibility
The persons should be kept wholesome
