THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
The primary cause of Consumption is derauge-
ment OF the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By
assimilation I mean that process by which the nu.
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 If they take
cold, will be very liable to have Consumption OF
the Lungs in some of its forms; and I hold that IL
will be impossible to cure any case of CONSUMPTION
without first restoring a 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, and then
rouse up and restore the liver to u healthy action.
For this purpose the surcst and best remedy is
Schenck's Mandrake 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
q new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile IL secreted.
The stomach, bowels. and liver are TINS cleanscd
by tho use OF schcnck's Mandrake Pills but there
remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the
organ Is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els the lactcals are weak, and requiring strength
and support It Is in a condition like this that
SchencS's seeweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline.
and Its use will neutralIze nil excess of acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t will give per
manent tone to this important organ, and create
a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process of a good digestion, aud
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood.
Amer this preparatory treatment, what remains
to cure most cases of Consumption is the FREQ
and per.cverins use of Scl,enck's Pu1monic syrup.
Ihe Pulmontc Syrup nourishes the system, purf-
fles the blood. and Is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
