THE CAUSE AND CURE OF
q o N - u M II II i o N {!

TENHE primary cause of Consumption is de-
rangement of the digestive organs. This
arrangement produces deficient nutrition and
assimilation. By assimilation, / mean that
process by which the nutriment of the food is
converted into blood, and thence into the solids
of the body. Persons with digestion thus inn
paired, having the slightest predispostion to
pulmonary disease, or If they take cold, will be
very liable to have Consumption of the Lungs
In some of Its forms aud l hold that II 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
from all diseased mucus and slime, which is
clogging these organs SO that they cannot per-
form their functions, and then rouse up and
restore the liver to a healthy action. For this
purpose the surest and best remedy is Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stom-
ach 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 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
cleansed by the use of Schenck's Mandrake
Pills but there remains in the stomach an ex-
cess Of acid, the organ is torpid and the appe-
tite poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak,
and requiring strength and support. 1t is in a
condition like this that Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy
ever discovered. 1t is alkaline, and its use
will neutralize all excess of acid, making the
stomach sweet and fresh it will give perma-
nent tone to this important organ, and create a
good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process of good digestion, and, ul-
timately make good, healthy, living blood
After this preparatory treatment, what remains
to cure most case of Consumption Is the free
and persevereing use of Schenk's Pulmonic
Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the
ifaui b. nod nd 10 nh
sorbed into the circulation, and thence distrib-
uted to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all
morbid matters, whether in he form of absces-
Ses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to ex-
pei all the diseased matter, in the form of free
expectoration, when once it ripens. 1t is then
by the great healing and purifying properties
of Schenll's Pulmonic Syrup, that all ulcers
and cavities are healed up sound, and my pa
tient Is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Con-
sumption Is to get up n good appetite and a
good digestion, so that the body will grow in
flesh and get strong. If person has diseased
lungs-a cavity or abscess there-rhe cavity
cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen so long as
the system is below par. What is necessary to
cure is n new order of tblngs-a good appe-
tite, good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh
and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities
will heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown
of in large quantities, and the person will regaiu
health and strength. This is the true and on
ly plan to cure Consumption, and If n person
is not entirely destroyed, or even If one lung is
entirely gone, if there is enough vitality left in
the other to heal up, there is hope.
/ have seen many persons cured with only
one sound lung, live and enjoy life to good
old age. This ia what Schenck's Medicines
will do to cure Consumption. They will clean
out tho stomach, sweeten and strengthen 1t, get
up good digestion, and give Nature the sys-
TEN of all the diseases she needs to clear the
system of all the disease that is in the lungs,
whatever the form may be.
1t is important that while using Schenck's
Medicines, care should be exercised not to take
cold keep indoors in cold and damp weather {;
avoid night air, and take outdoor exercise only
in genial and warm sunshine.
/ wish IL distinctly understood tbet when
recommend patient to be careful in regard to
taking cold, while using my Medicines, do 80
for n special reason. man who has but par
TALLY recovered from the effects of bad cold is
far more liable to q relapse than one who has
been entirely cured and 1t Is precisely the same
in regard to Consumption So long as the lungs
are not perfectly healed, just so long is there
imminent danger of n full return of the disease.
Hence II is that SO strenuously caution pull
monary patients against exposing themselves
to an atmosphere that Is not genial and pleas
ant. Confirmed Consumptves' lungs are q
mass of sores, which the least change of at
mosphere will inflame. The grand secret of my
success with my Medicines consists In my abil-
ity to subdue Inflammation instead Of proyok-
ing it., rs many of the faculty do. An infamcd
lung cannot, with safety to the patient, be eX-
posed to the biting blasts of Winter or the chill
ing winds of Spring or Autumn. 1t should be
carefully shielded from all irritating infunces.
The utmost caution should be observed in this
particular, as without 1t cure under almost
any circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued
until the body has restored to II the natural
quantity of flesh and strength.
] 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
treatment whom have never seen.
About the First of October | expect to take
possession of my new building, at the North
east Corner of Sixth and Arch Streets, where
shall be pleased to give advice to all who may
require It..
Full directions accompany all my Remedies,
SO that person in auy part of the world can
be readily cured by strict observance of the
same. j. II. SCHENCK, NJ. D.,
