I MEDICAL. } THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSTJMPTIOK, 4 ?The primary cause of Consumption is denotement of the digestive organs. This derangement produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By assimilation I mean that process by which the nutriment of the food is converted Into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus Impaired, having the slightest predisposition to pulmonary disease, or if they take cold, will be very liable to have Consumption mt the Lungs in some of its forma; and I hold that !t will be Impossible to cure any case of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first thing to be done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels fTom ail rttitaaad mucus and sitme, which is clogging these organa an that they cannot perform their functions, and than rouse up and restore the Uver to a healthy action. For this purpose the surest and best remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills dean the stomacn ana ooweis 01 an me una auu uwium slime that Is causing disease and decay In the whole system. They will dear ont the liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated there, and rouse It up tc a new and healthy action, by which natural and healthy bile Is secreted. The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansed by the use of Schenck** Mandrake PlUs; but thera remains In the stomach an excess of add. the organ Is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and support. It is In a condition like this that Schenck's Seaweed Toole proves to be the most valuable remedy ever discovered. It la alkaline, and its use will neutralise all excess of add, mak* ^ Ing the stomach sweet and fresh: it Will fire permanent tone to this Important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system for the flrst process of s good digestion, sad ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treatment, what remains to cure most cases of Consumption Is the free and persevering use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulmouic Syrup nourishes the system, pdrlfles the blood, and is readily absorbed into the circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There It ripens all morbid matters, whether In the form of abscesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to expel all the diseased matter-la the form of free expectoration, when once It riMoa. It Is then, by the great healing and purifying properties of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrsp, that aU ulcers and cavities are healed up souna, and my patient Is cured. The essential thing to be done In curing Cobkumptlon is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the body will grow In flesh and get strong. If a person has diseased lungs,?a cavity or abscess there,-the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot rfpen, so long as the system Is below par. What Is necessary to core is a new order of things,?a good appetite, a good nutrition, the body to grow In flesh and get fat; then Nature Is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen sad ha thrown off in large quantities, and tbe person regain health and strength. This Is tba troa and only plan to cure Consumption, and If a parson la very had. If the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there Is enough vitality left in the other to heal up, there la 'tope. I have seen many persons cored with only ona sound )uu?r, live and enloy life to a good old age. This U what Schenck's Medicines will do to cura f'.nnatimnrinn Thev will clean out the stomach. sweeten and strengthen it. get up a good digestion," and Nature the assistance she needs to clear , the system or all the disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be. It is im|*ortaut that while using Scbenck's Medicines, care should be exerofeed not to take colds keep ln-doors in cold and damp weather: avoid night air. and take out-door excreta* only in a genial ana warm sunshine. I wish it distinctly understood that when I recommend anatlenttobe careful In regard to taking cold, while using my Medicines, I do so Ibr a special reason. A man who has but partially recovered from the effects of a bod cold Is far more liable to a relapse than one who has been entirely cured; and it Is precisely the same In regard to Consumption. So long as the lungs ore not perfectly healed, Just so long Is there imminent danger of a fhll return of the disease. Hence It is that I so strenuously caution pulmonary patients against exposing themselves to an atmosphere that Is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives' lungs are a mass of sores, which the least change of atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of my success with my Medicines consists In my ability to subdue Inflammation Instead of provoking It, as many of the faculty do. An lufiamed lune cannot, with safety to the patient, be exposed to the bltlog blasts of Winter or the chilling winds of Hprlng or Autumn. It should be carefully shielded from all Irritating Influences. The utmost caution should be observed In this particular, as without it a core under almost auy circumstances is an impossibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued until the body hns restored to It the natural quantity of flesh and strength. I was myself cured by this trestmentof the worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone. I have cured thousands since, and very many have been cured by this treatment whom I IHlYt UCYtl nrrM, About the First of October I expeet to take possession of mv now building, at the Northeast Corner of Sixth ana Arch Streets, where I shall be pleased to give advice to all who may require it. Full directions accompany ail my Remedies, so that a person in any part of the world can b? seadlly cured by a strict observance of the tains. J. H. SCHJENCK, M. D.. Philadelphia. JOHN .
