TIE 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
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
VIII 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 NIL diseased
mtcus and slime, which Is clogg:ng these organs
that they cannot perform their functions and then
rouse up and restore the liver to u healthy action.
For this purpose the surest and best remedy is
Schenck'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 ont the liver of al diseased
bile that has accumulated there, and rouse it up to
new and healthy action. by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted.
The stomach bowels and liver are thus cieansed
by the use OF SchencE's Mandrake Pills; but there
remains in the stomach an excess OF acid tho
organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the how
els the lacteals ara weak, and requiring strength
and support. It Is in condition like this that
Schenck's seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy discovered. 1t is alkaline
and its use will neutralfze all 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 system
for the first process OF good digestion, and
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood.
to cure most cases Of Consumption is the FREQ
and pcrsevernE use of Scnenc<s Pulmonfc Syrup.
The Pulmonic syrup nourishes the system, purt-
hcs the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed 20 the diseased
lungs There It ripens all morbid matters, whether
