.R. sCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME


~ TIVES TO co TIC FLORIDA IN WINTER.
! Having for the last thirty five wears devoted
| my whole time and attention to the duty of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that l under
stand fully the course that ought to be pursued
| to restore a tolerabv bad case of diseased lungs
/ to healthy soundness. The first and most impor-
tant step is for the patient to avoid taxing cold,
and the best all places this con tnent for ts
! purpose in winter, Is Florida, well dow in the
State, where the temperature is regular, and not
subject to SUCH variations as in more Northern
/ ATTITUDES. Palatk is point can recommend
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 and my med-
1 cines, were getting well.
| One hundred miles further down the river is a.
point which would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are located

MellonviIle 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there
| The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
uents complain at times but that is good sign,
as 1t indicates return of appetite, and when
this Is the case they generally increase in flesh
and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and ma
nv other places in various parts OF Florida,
can be safely recommended To cnnsumptives in
winter My reasons for saying so are that patients
are less liable to take cold there than here there

So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned

In conclusion, i'll say that when persons
