The proprietor Of these medicines con-
scientiously offers them to the public as
tho only sale. reliable and certain remedies
for pulmonary consumption. He recon-
mends them, with equal confidence. AS al
most specific for those morbid conditions
of the body which, IL neglected, are aptto
terminate in dangerous or fatal diseases of
the lungs. Liver complaints and dyspep-
sia nre generally regarded as forerunners OF
consumption, and when these diseases
manifest themselves they require the most
prompt attention.
In order 10 understand how these med
icines affect the cures which are ascribed 10
their agency, ii Is necessary 10 have some
acquaintance with the pecuiiarities of the
dist ase. Pulmonary consumption (Phthi-
sis Pulmonals) is characterized by ema-
citation, debility, cough, hectic fever, and
puru'ent expectoration. This disease has
always been the greatest scourge OF the hui
man race, and it has destroyed more lives
than famine, sword and pestileDCe. An
English writer, some years ago, computed
that out ola population OF / 100000 in the
Isle of Great Britain, 5000 annually die of
consumption. The same fatality attends
the disease in this climate. One principal
cause of the great mortality which attends
pulmonary consumption is the false theory
that it is incurable. This mischievous err
ror caubes many cOnsumptive patients to
despair as soon as the nature of their affli
ton becomes manifest, and, when they are
hopeless OF cure, they resign themselves
to what they suppose to be their inevito bic
r fate ana n as Nth ak aas any sGr To-
ors," says Shakespeare: consumptives are
often victimIzed by the foregone conclusion
that their cases are beyond the reach of
medicine.
Pulmonary consumption is, in most
cases, complicated with disorders OF the
liver and stomach. Before the attack Of
this disease (says French physician) q
blood, which becomes degraded in quality,
and endowed with lower degree Of vital
ity." This change 10 caused by the imper-
feet action OF the liver, for one of the offices
Of that organ is to strain and purify the
blood. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver more promptly and effectually
than any other medicine Hence they are
often prescribed by men In the first stages
of consumption, and il, many other cases
when the torpid or diseased condition of
the liver require the use of this unrivaled
purgative. Concerning the use OF these
pills more will be said hereafter; In the
present connection it may be observed that
their operation corrects that morbid con.
dition OF the blood which always precedes
an attack of consumption, and is therefore,
presumed to be one of the principal causes
of the attack.
Dyspepsia is regarded by many medical
writers as one OF the prominent causes OF
consumption, and they have good reasons
for this opposition, tor the absence of nu-
triton in the blood leads to the formation
of tubercles, and dyspeptic diseases deprive
the blood OF its nutritiye properties. While
dyspepsia is present it is almost, or quite
impossible for consumption 10 be cured.
For indigestion produces a general debility
Of the system, aud this state of debility is
most unfavorable to the re-estabiis hment

cavities in the lungs be healed when the
stomach has no power OF digestion, and

! must bring about this great change. My
medicines only assist nature to overpower
the disease, and to produce healthy secre-
lions, instead of the morbid matter which
yitiates the blood. From these consiaera-
tons il WIN appear that tonic, or strength
eniDg medicines are required in the treat
ment of consumption, and especially snch
| medicines as have an invigorating effect on
the digestive organs. Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is compounded with particular refer
ence to these O. fects, and II was first de-
signed to be IA In consumptive cases as
i an auxiliary to Te Pulmonic Syrup. 1t Is
applicable, hoy liver, to all cases of dyspep-
STA, and it may be proved to demonstration
/! that il is the only medicine which will cure
, that disease. Many eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
cured by drugs; and the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose,

gravation of the symptoms. The Sea Weed
Tonic, in its nature, is totally different from
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive min
, erals or acids; in fact, It is so far from hav-
ing any action hostile to the animal econ
omy, that it assists the regular operations
OF nature. and supplies her deficiencies.
This tonic In its nature 80 much resembles
the gastric Juice, that its action is almost
identical with thatfiuid. The eastr o Juice,

Juice when the latter is deficient. 1t has
likewise all the invigorating properties OF

Inc remedies which are often prescribed by
physicians 10 strengthen the constitution,
of consumptive patients. From what has
been said, II may judged that Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic is most important rem
edy in the treatment OF pulmonary c,sea-
ses, and experience proves this TO be fact.
One OF the good effects Of this tonic is 70
enable the patient TO digest such diet as
consumptive pei sons require. Physicians
now admit that highly nutritious diet Is
most proper for such persons. Indeed, the
