THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMPTION
Tho 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 10 cure any case of Consumption
without first restoring good digestion healthy
assimilation The very first thing to be done Is to
cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased
mucns and slime which Is clogging these organs so
that they cannot perform their functions and then
rouse up and restore tho liver to healthy action.
For this purpose the snrcst and best remedy Is
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the
stomach and bowels Of all the dead and morbid
slime that is causing disease and decay the whole
system. They will clear out the liver of all diseased
bile that has accumulated there, and rouse IL up
new and healthy action. by which natural and
healthy bile is sccreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clcansed
by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills: but there
remains in the stomach excess OF acid the
organ Torpid and the appetite poor. in the bow
els the !acteais are weak, and requiring strength
and support 1t is in condition like this that
Schencl's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most
valuable remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline
and Its use will neutraliZe all excess of acid max
ing the stomach sweet fresh it will give per
mnnent 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.
AItcr preparatory treatment, what remains
to cure most cases of Consumption Is the FREQ
and perseverng use of Schencks Pulmonic Syrup
The Pulmon!c Syrup nourIshes the system, puri-
fes the blood, and Is readily absorbed into the
circulation and thence distributed to the diseased
imhSs. There It rlpens ell morbid matters whether
