England nnehrd nj least of the population die of this
terrible disease. In the Middle States it does not prevail

hence it LAYS the foundation ior another and other still
until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope for
My advice I" persons whose lungs are affected even
slightly is to lay in stock of Schenck Pulmonc Syrup
Schsncks Seawced Tonic and Schencks Mandrake Pills
and go 10 Florida recommend these particular med
cines because am thoroughly acquainted with their
action know tl!at where they used in strict

is required This accomplished nature will do the rest

Now there are many consumplives who have not the
means to to Florida The question may be asked is
there hope for such Certainly there is NY advice
10 such is, ana ever has been, to stay in

have cured thousands by this SYSTEM and do
again Consumption is easily cured any other dis
it is taken in tine and the proper kind of treat
men is pursued. The fact stands undsputed record
that schenck's Pumonic Syrue. Mandrake Pills, and
Saweed Tonic have cured very many of what seemed to
he hopeless cases OF consumption. Go where You WILL
you will be almost certain to find some poor consnmp-
tive who has been rescued from the very jaws of death
by t,ieir use.
S, far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned every
body should ke supply on hand They act the
liver better than caomel, and leave none Of its hurtul
effects behind. In fact they are excellent in all cases
where purgative medicine is required. II you have

sick headache take dose of Mandrakes and they will
relieve you in two hour. If you would obvate the eff
feet Of change ofwater, or the too free indulgence in
trni' take of the Mandrakes every night every
other night and you may then drink water and eat
erelons peats, apples pums, peaches or corn without
the risk Of being made sick by them. They will protect
those who live in damp situations against chills and fe
rers. Try them. They are perfectly harmless. They
can do you good only.
