most important etep is for tho patient TO
on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is Florida, we'll down in the state, where the
temperature IL regular, and not subject to
such variations as in more Northern latitudee.

located there. I should give decided pre-
ference to Mellonvillc. 1t is two miles from
river or lake. and it seems almost Impossible
to take cold there. Tho tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain aI
times, but that is good sign, as it indicat cs
a return OF appetite, and when this is the case
they generally increase in flesh, and then the
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibcrnia, Green Cove, and
many other places III various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to cOnsumptives

patients arc less liable to take cold there than
where thcrc is less even temperature, and it
ls not n necessary to say that where consump-

a moro Southern point is earnestly recon-
mended.
For fifteen years prior to 1869. I was profcs-
eionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphla every week, where saw and eX-
amlned on an average five hundred patients
every possible phase of lung disease, hns cna,
blcd me to understand the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a
person may take vast quantities of "Schencks
Pumonic Syrup, Scaweed Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yet die if he does not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida. nearly everybody is using
schenek's Mandrake Pills. for the climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than
more Northern latitudcs. 1t is n we'll cstab-
lished fact that natives of Florida rarely die
OF consumption; especially those of the South
land, one:third, at least, of the population
die Of this terrible disease In the Middle
States 1t does not prevail so largely, still
thero arc many thousands of cases there.
If consumptives were as easily alarmed in re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they arc
not. They take what they term a little cold,
which they are crcdulous enough to believe
Will wear of in few days. They pay no at
tention to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lungs
arc diseased beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in stock Of
Schenck's Pumonic Syrup, Schenck's Scawccd
Tonic and Schencks Mandrake Pills and 30
to Florida. l recommend theso particular
medicines because l am thoroughly acauaint-
ed with their action. know that where they
are used in etrict accordance with my dircc-
lions, lions, they will do the work that is required.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prcscribcs for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to
have orpsc on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with the printed directions. tx-

Now there are many cOnsumpiives who have
not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for sucIi:
Certainly there is. Ny advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
the winter, with n temperature of about
seventy, degrees. which should ho kept
regularly at that point, by means Of q tier

sumption il as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken i'll time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
un!sputctl on record that Schcncks Pulmo-

have cured very many Of what seemed to be
hopeless cases OF consumption. Go where
yoI will, You will be almost certain to find
some poor consumrtive who has been rescued
from The very jaws of death by their use.
SO far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned.
everybody should keep n supply of them OH
