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
