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 np
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 liable to have Consumption OF
the Lungs in some Of its forms; and hold that 1t
will be impossible to cure 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 50
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 Of all diseased
bile that has accumulated there, and rouse 1t up to
. new and healthy action, by which natural AND
healthy bile Is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use Of ScLencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach an excess OF acid, the
organ Is torpid and the appetite poor. In the DOW
els the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support. It Is in a condition like this that
schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t Is alkaline.

ing the stomach sweet and fresh; 1t viii give per-
manent tone to this important organ, and create
a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process 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 Pumonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
ies the blood. and is readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There 1t ripens all morbid matters, whether

sumption Is to get up good appetite and good
digestion, so that the body will grow In flesh and

matter cannot ripen, long as the system Is below
par. What Is necessary to cure is new order OF
to grow in flesh and get fat then Nature is helped,

thrown Off In large quantities, and the person
regain health and strength. This is the true and
only plan to cure Consumption, and II person Is

This is what Schencks Medicines will do to cure

and give Nature the assistance she needs TO clear
whatever the form may be.
II Is important that while using Schencks Medi-
cines,. care should be exercised not TO take cold;
keep indoors IN cold and dsmp weather; avoid
night air, and take outdoor exercise only In q
