TIE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
The primary cause of Consumption is derange-
nent OF the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation L 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 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
rpucus and slime, which is clogging these organs so
that they cannot perform their functions, and then
rouse up and restore the liver to II 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 the liver OF all diseased
bile that has accumulated there and rouse 1t mp
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach. bowels, and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains IN tho stomach an excess of acid. the
organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els the lacteais are weak, and requiring strength
and support. It is in q condition like this that
SchencHs' SeRUecd Tonic proves 10 be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline
and its use will ncutrnzc NIL excess of acid, MAX
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 a good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood
Amer this preparatory treatment, what remaips
to cure most cases of Consumption is the FREQ
and persevering use of schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
The Pumonic Syrup nourishcs the system, puri-
fcs the blood. and IL readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed the diseased

many OF the faculty do. a n nfamed lung cannot
with safety to the patient, be exposed 10 the biting
blasts OF Winter the chilling winds of sS.rints
or Autumn. 1t should be carefully shielded from
all Irritating Influences. The utmost caution
should he observed in this particular without il
sbility.
The person should BE- kept on a Wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the T.ssIcint- continued
of flesh and strength.
