WINTER.
Having for the last thirty.lve years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study OF lung
diseases and consumption, feel that under
stand fully the course that ought TO DO pursued Il
restore iolerAbly bad case Of diseased lungs Il
healthy Eoundness. The drst and most import
ant step is for the patient to avoid taking cold
and the best Of all places on this continent fol
this purpose In winter, is Florida, well down ~
the State, where the temperature ts regular, and
not subject 10 such variations as in more North
crn attitudes. Palatka Is L point can recon
mend. good hotel Is kept there by Peterman
| Last winter | saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who. under
the healing influence OF the climate aud my med
iclneS, were getting well.
one hundred miles further down the river Is q
point which would prefer to PaIatka, as the
| temperature is more even and the air dry aud
bracIng. Mellonville and Enterprise are located
| there. should give decided preference tO
MellonVIlle. 1t IL two miles from river or lake,
and It seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables In Florida might be better
and patients complain ut times, but t:at Is good

when this 10 the case they generally increase In
| fiesh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, HiberniA, Green Cove, aud many
other places in various parts Of Florida, can be
safely recommended TO cOnsuInpttVcs In winter.
My reasons far saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold thee than where there Is
less even temperature, and II IL not necessary
to say that where consumptlVe person exposes
himself TO frequent colds he is certain TO die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, 90 well down
into the State ont OF the reach OF prevailing east
winds and fOGs Jacksonville, or almost any
other OF the localities have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with torpid liver, dis
ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore thfoat
or cough, but for those whose lungs arc diseased
more southern point Is earnestly recon-
mendGd
sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, every week, where saw and ex'
amine1 on an average five hundred patients u
week. A practise so extensive, embracing every
possible phase OF lung disease has enabled NE
10 understand tho disease fully, AID hence. my
caution In regard TO taking cold. 4 lwrson mas
take vast quantities OF ''SchcuCSs PnlmOniC
Syrup, SeaWCGd Tonic and Mandrake Pills, aud
yet die II he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck' &
Mandrake Pills, for tho climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern latt'
iudcs. II Is u well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die Of consumption, especially
those Of the southern part. On the other hand,
In New England. Onc.third, AtleAst, Of the pOpu-
lation, die OF this terrible disease. IN the NlH;
die States II docs not prevail so largely, still
there arc many thousands Of cases there. What
vast per ceuiage Of life would be saved II con-
sumptives were as easily alarmed in regard to
taking fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever,
smOll POx, &c. But they, are not, They take
ulOus enough TO believe will wear on In few
DAYS. They pay no attention TO 1t, and hence II
LAYS the foundation for another and another still,
until the lungc are diseased beyond all hope for
cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly H., to lay In stock OF SchenCE's
PclmOnic Syrup, Schenck's Scawccd Tonic and
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and 90 to Florida. |
recommend these particular medicines because |
am thoroughly acquainted with their action. ]
know that where they are used In strict accord
anCe with my directions they will do the work
that Is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who pTescrihcs for
cold, cough or niGhtswcats and then adviEcS the
patient to walk or ride out every day, will be sure
10 have corpse on his hands before long.
My plan Is 10 give my three medicines, In &C
corialce with tho printed directions, except In
some cases where frecr use OF the Mandrake
Pills Is necessary. My object IL TO give tone to
the stomach-tO get UP good appetite. 1t is
always good sign when patton BEGINS To
grow hungry. have hopes OF such. Win a
relish for food aud the qualification Ol that relish
comes good blood and with It moro flesh, which
Is closely followed by u healing OF the lungs.
Then the cough loosens and aoates, me creeping
chills and Clammy night-hweals no longer pros
trate and annoy, and the patient gets well, pro-
vIdGd he avoids taking cold
Now there arc many cnnsumptivcs who have
not the means to go to Florida The question
may be asked, Is there no hope for such! Ger.
tainlY theru is. My advice To such is, and ever
has been, TO stay In warm room during the win
ter with temperature of about seventy degrees,
which should BIZ kept regularly at that point, by
means Of thermometer. Let such patient
take his exercise within the limits o. the room BY
walking upaud down as much as his strength
will permit In order to Keep up healthy cIrcu.
lation Of the blood. have cured thousands by
thIS system, and can do so again. Consumption
Is as easily cured as any other diseA'0 II II Is
taken In time, and tho proper kind OF treatment
is pursued. The fact stands undisputGd on re.
cord that Schcnck's Pulmoulc Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and SCawecd Tonic have cured very many
OF what seemed TO be hopeless cases OF cOnsu mp
ton. Go where you will, you will be almost cer-
tain to dHd como poor consunptivc who has been
rescued from the Jaws OF death by their use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep q supply OF them on
hand. They act on the liver better than cAlOmel,
and leave none Of Its hurttnl effects behind. In
fact they arc excellent In all cases where pur.
gative medicine Is required. II You have par.
taken too freely OF fruit and diArrhca CnSuGS, a
dose Of the MandraEes will cure you. II you
are subject to sick headache, take dose Of the
Mandrakes and they will relieve Jon In two
hours. II you would OOViate the effect OF a
change OF water, or the too frequent indulgence
In fruit. take one Of'the MAndrakcs every night
or every othCT night, and you may then drink
water and cat watermelons, pears, apples, plums,
peaches or corn, without the risk OF being made
sick by them. They will protect those who live
in damp situations against Chills and iCVcrs. Try
them. They are perfectly harmless. They can

Boston and New York, but continue to see pa.

Those who wish thorough examination with
the Rcspiromcter will be charged i've dollars.
The RGspirOmeter declares the exact condition Of
the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether
they arc durable or not. But desire It distinct

ponds entirely upon their being taken strictly HC-
COrdng to directions
In conclusion, will say that when persons
take my medicines and their systems are brought
into healthy condition thereby, they are not so
liable to take cold, yet no one with diseased
lungs can bear sudden change Of atmosphere
without the liability Of greater or less irritation
Of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions In all languages accompany my
medicines, 80 explicit and clear that any one can
Use them without consulting me, and can he
bought from any druggist.
