THE 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 np
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 II they take
cold, will be very liable to haye Consumption Of
the Lungs in some of its forms; and hold that it
will be impossible to any case Of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very first thing 10 be done Is to
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucus and slime, which is clogging these organs SO
that they cannot perform their functions, and then
rouse up and restore the liver to healthy action.
For this purpose the surest and best remedy IS
Schcncks Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the
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 diseased
bile that has accumulated there, and rouse 1t up
q new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile Is secreted.
The stomach, bowels and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Schencks Mandrake Pills; but there
remains In the stomach an excess or acid. the
organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bow
els the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength
and support. It Is in a condition like this that
Schencks Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It Is alkaline
and its use will neutralZe all excess Of acid, max
ing the stomach sweet and fresh; It WIN give per-
manent tone to this important organ, and create
a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system
for the first process of q 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 Schenck's Pulnsonlc Syrup.
The Pumonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri-
fes the blood. and is readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed TO the diseased
tr!D al mo m or
in the form Of assesses or tubercle5, and then
assists Nature to expe all the diseased matter in
the form of free expectoration when once II rpenS.
IL is then, by the great healing and purifying
properties of Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup, that all
ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my
patient IL cured.
The essential thing to be done in cnrins Con:
sumption is to get up q good appetite and good
digestion, so that the body will grow In flesh and
get strong If person has diseased lungs,--a

matter cannot ripen so long as the system Is below
par. What Is necessary to cure Is q new order OF
things,-a good appetite; good nutrition the 5odY
