THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION.


i rangement Of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and
assimilation. BY assimilation I mean that pro-
cess by wh;cn the nutriment Of the food is con-
verted into blood, and thence into the solids Of
the body. Person. with digestion thus impair
ed, having the slightest pre-disposition to pull
monary disease, or if they take cold will be very
liable TO have Consumption Of the Lungs In some
Of its forms and hold that il will be impos-
sible to cure any case Of Consumption without
6rst restoring good digestion and healthy as
similation. The very first thing to be done 10
20 cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
eased mucus and slime, which is clogging these
organs so that they cannot perform their func-
tions, 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 tha. 10 causing dis
ease and decay in the whole system. They will
clear out the liver Of all diseased bile that has
accumulated there, and rouse il mp to q new and
healthy action, by which natural and healthy
bile ID secreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus
cleansed by the use OF Schenck' $ Mandrake Pills;
but there remains in the stomach an excess Of
acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor
In the bowels the lacteals are weak and reauir-

like this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves

cess OF acid, making the stomach sweet and
fresh IL will give permanent tone to this i'm
portant organ, and create a good, hearty appe-
tite, 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 pcrsevering use Of

properties Of Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, that

my patient Is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Con-
sumption is TO get up good appetite and a good
digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh
and get strong. III person has diseased lungs

do TO cure Consumption. They will clean out

far more liable TO . relapse than one who has
been entirely cured; and IL Is precisely the
same in regard to Consumption. So long as
the lungs are not perfectly healed, just so long

disease. Hence IL is that I so strenuously eau
