The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
ment of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation mean that process by which the nI-
trment 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 its forms; and hold that it will
be impossible to cure any of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion 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 cloggng these organs so
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
Scheneks 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
stem They will clear out the liver of all diseased
bile that has accumulated there, aud arouse it up
to Il and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy btie Is secrcted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use OF Schenck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains in the stomach of acid, the organ

ment, what remains to cure most cases of consump-
ton is the free and perservering use of Schencks
Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulmonc Syrup nourishes
the system, purifes the blood, and is readily alb

eased matter in the form of free expectoration, when
once it rpens. 1t is then by the great healing and
purifying 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 sump-
ton is to get up good appetite and good diges-
ton, SO that the body will grow in flesh and get
strong. IL person has diseased lungs, 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 order of things,
a good appetite, good nutrition, the body to grow
in flesh and get fat then Nature is helped, the cav
tiles will heal the matter will rpen and be thrown
of in large quantities. and the person regain health
and strength. This is the true and only plan to
cure Consumption, and if a person is very bad If
the lungs are not entirely destroyed, even if one
lung entirely gone, if there is enough vitality left
in the other to heal up, there is hope.
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 cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it, get up good digestion,
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 medi.
clnes, care should he exercised not to take cold

night air, and take out door exercise only in gent

so long as the lungs are not perfectly healed just
long Is there imminent danger of full return the
disease. Hence il is that so streAuously caution

an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant.
Confirmed consumptives' lungs are mass of sores
The grand secret of my success with my medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
of provoking it, as many of the faculty do. An
famed lung cannot with safety to the patient be
