THE CAUSE AND CURE OF coNsuMpToN

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
The primary cause Of Consumption Is derange-
nnent Of the digestive organs This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation mean that process by which the mn
triment 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 II they take
cold, will be very yliabie to have Consumption OF
the Lungs In some of Its forms; and Ihold that II
will be impossible TO cure my case 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 clogging these organs so
that they cannot perform their functions nnd then
rouse up and restore the liver to healthy action.
For this purpose the surest and best remedy Is
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the
stomach and bowels Of all the dead and morbid
slnle'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 up to
new and healthy action. by which natural and
healthy bile Is secreted *, i
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansec
by the use OK Schencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in&ha stomach an excess Of acid. the

manent tone to this important organ, End create
good, hearty appetite; and prepare the system
for the first process Of q 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 Pulmonlc Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fes the blood, and Is readily absorbed into the
