THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
The primary cause of Consumption Is derange.
ment of the digestive organs THIS arrangements
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. BY
assimilation | mean that process by which the
trlment 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, uf If 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 froGl all diseased
mHcns and slime, which is clOggng these organs 50
that they cannot perform their functions and then
up and restore the liver to a healthy action
For this purpose the surest and best remedy Is
Schenrk's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean tho
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 discussed
bile that has accumulated there and rouse ii up to
new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and yer are thus cleanssd
by the use of Schencks 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 lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support. II is in a condition like this that
Schencks Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. 1t IS alkaline
and its use will neutralize all excess of acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; it will give per-
manent tone to this important organ, and create
good, hearty appetite and prepare the syste1n
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 SchCncks Pulmonic syrup
