THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
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 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 hold that It
will be impossible to any 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 and 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
slime that is causing disease and decay in the whole
system. They will clear out the liver diseased
bile that has accumulated there and rouse it up TO
q new and healthy action. by which natural and
healthy bile Ia secreted.
The stomach bowels. and liver are thus cleansed
by the use OF sehenck's Mandrake Pills: but there
remains in the stomach excess of acid, the
organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els the lacteals are weak and requiring strength
and support. 1t il in condition like this TINT

ing the stomach sweet and fresh 1t will give per-
manent tone to this important organ, and create
good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process of 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 Pumonic Syrup.
The Pulmon!c Syrup nourshes the system pur.-
fes the blood. and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
