slight cough will throw it of, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonc Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schepcks Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions. relax the gal! bladder the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.

and Alternative; tho alkal Of which it is composed,
mixes with the'food and prevents souring. II as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach TO a
healthy condition so that the food and the Pulnonic
Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs hoa,
