The primary cause of Consumption is derange-

forms; and hold that 1t will be impossible to

and slime, which is cloggng these organs TO

remedy is Schencks Mandrake Pllls: Ihese

1t is important that while using Schencli

| ing cold, while using my Medicines, 4 do so for Il
| special reason. man who has but partially re-
covered from the effects of q bad cold is far more
liable to a relapse than one who has been entire
| ly cured and 1t is precisely the same in regard
to Consumption SO long us the lungs are not
perfectly healed, just so long is there imminent
danger of n full return of the disease. Hence 1t
| is that so strenuously caution pulmonary pa
| tients against exposing themselves to an almos-
| phere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirm
| ed Consumptives' lungs are q mass OF sores,
which the least change OF atmosphere Will in-
| flame The grand secret of my success with my
Medicines consists in my ability to subdue in
| tlammatiOn instead of provoking 1t, as many of
| the faculty do. An intamed lung cannot, with
| safety to the patient, be exposed to the biting
| blasts of Winter or the chilling winds of Spring
| or Autumn. 1t should be carefully shielded from
| all irritating influences The utmost caution
should be observed in this particular as without
| 1t a cure under almost any circumstances is an
| impossibility.
The person should be kept on n wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued
until the body has restored TO it the natural
| quantity of flesh and strength.
l was myself cured by this treatment of the
| worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to
| get fat and hearty these many years, with one
| lung mostly gone have cured thousands since
and very many have been cured by this treat
ment whom have never seen.
About the First of october l expect to take
possession of my new building, at the Northeas
Corner of Sixth and Arch Streets, where | shal
be pleased to give advice to all VINO may require
1t.
so that person in any part OF the world can be
readily cured by strict observance of the same.
