THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
The primary cause of Consumption is deranse-
ment Of the digestive organs. This arrangement
produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By
assimilation 1 mean that process by which the u
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 10 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
will be impossible to cure any case Of Consumption
without first restoring coed digestion and healthy
assimilation. The very rst thing to be done Is to
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucous and slime. which is cioesins these organs
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
6chenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the
stomach and bowels Of AL the desd and morbid
slime that is causing disease and decay in the whole
system. They will clear ont the liver of all diseased
bile that has Accumulasad there and rouse it up
. new and healthy action, by which natural and
healthy bile is secreted

remains in the stomach an excess OF acid. tho

Amer this preparatory treatment, what remains
