xhe Cause and Cure of Consump-
ttou.

The primary cause Of Con sumption IL de-
rsngsmsnt Of the digestive organs This de-
rangsnsnt produces deficient nutrition and as
similation. By assimilation I mean that process /
by which the nutrimsnt OF the food Ia converted
iato blood, and thence into the solids of the
body. Persons with isestiOn thus imp aired, /
having tho slightest Prsdispostiou to pulmona-
~ disease, OF if they take cold, will be very ls-
BILE to have Consumption of the Lungs in some
ofits forms; and hold that it will be impos-
sibls to cure any case Of Consu npt.On without
first restoring . good digestion and healthy as /
sanitation. The very hrst thing to be dene is
to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
CEASED mucus ana slime which is clogging these
organs so that they cannot perform their func-
tlons, and then rouse up and restore tbs liv,r
to healthy sc,lon. For this purpOss the sur
est and best remedy is SchenoA's Mandrake
Pills. These Pills clean the stomach snd bow
els Of all the dead ant morbid slime that Is cat
sing disease and decay In the whole system
They willclsar out the liver of all diseased bile
that has accumulated there, and arouse 1t up to
= new and healthy Lston, by which natural and
healthy bile is sscTeted.
| The sto mach, bowels and liver are thus clean
sed BY the use of Eehsnek's MRndrakn Pills;
but there remains In the stomach an excess Of
acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor.
In the bowels the lActerals are weak, and requir
ing strength and support. Il 10 in condition
like this that schsnck's seawsed Tonic proves
to be the most valuable remedy even discovered.
Il is alkAline, and it's use will nsutTAiEe all eI
cess Of acid, making the stomach sweet and
fresh it will give permanent tone to this i'm
portant organ, and create a good, hearty Appe-
tite and prepare the systs IN for the frIt process
OF q good digestion, aud ultim aieIy make good,
: healthy, living blood. After this preparatory
treatment, what remains to cure most evses Of
Consump tion is tho free and PsrIevsring use Of
schenck's Puluonic Syrup. The PulmOnic
Syrup uourishss the system, puriiss the slOod
and is readily absorbed into the circulation, an
thence distributed to the dlTeaSsd lunSs. There
