DR.. SCHENCK
ADVISES CONSUMPTlVES
TO GO TO
FLORIDA IN WINTER.

Having for the last thirty.fve years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study OF
lung diseases and consumption, feel that
understand fully the course that ought - be Pur-
sued 10 restore toiersbly bad case OF diseased
lungs 10 healthy soandness. The hrt aid
most important step is for the pa,ien. 10 avoid
taking cold, and The best Of oil places on this
continent for this purpose in winter, is Flor!da,
well down in the State, where the temperature
is regular, and not subject to such variations as
in m re Northern latludeS. Paaka is point
can recOmend. A 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 medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is
point which would prefer to Palr;ka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonvilc and Enterprise are loca-
ted there. | should give decided preference
TO hlellonville. Ii is two miles from river or
lake, and i! seems almost impossible TO toke
cold there. The tables in Florida might be bet
ter, and patients complain at times but that is
good sign, as i. indicates reform ofapPeute, and
when this is the case they eenera!io increase In
flesh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many
oiber PLACES in various parts Of FloTido, can be
safely recommended 10 consrmptivea in winter
My reasons for saying 50 ere .ha: patients
arc less liable to take cold there than
where there is less even tempere IRE
and it is rot necessary 10 say that con.
sunptive person exposes himself 10 frequent
colds be is ceItsin TO die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, 20 well down into the State out
Of the reach OF prevailing cas-. winds and logs.
Jacksonville, and almost any other oil the local.
tiles that have named, will benefit these who
are taoubled with a torpid liver, disordered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throa! or cough,
but for those whose lungs gre diseased more
southern point is earnestly recommended.

siona.Iy in New York, Boston, Baltimore, and

ana yet die if he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is usinS
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. for the climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than more
northern latitude. II is well established fact
that natives of Florida rarely die OF consumption
especially those Of the southern part. On the
other hand in New England one third, at least,
of the population die Of this terrible disease. In
the Middle States il does not prevail so largely,
still there are many thousands OF cases there.
What a vast percentage OF life would be saved IT
consumptives were as easily alarmed in regard
10 taking fresh cold as they are about scarlet
fever, small pox, &c. Bot they are not. They
! take what they term little cold, which they ure
credulous enough to believe will wear of in
| few days. They pay no attention 10 1t, and
| hence il lays the foundation for another and
another STILL until the lungs are diseased beyond
oil hope for cure.

ed even slightly $50 lay in stock OF Schenck's

know that where they are used in strict accor-
dance with my directions they vi do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature
will do the rest. The physician who Prcscrbes
! for cold, cough, or nigh.sweats, and then cd is-
es the patient TO walk or ride out every day, will
| be sure TO havo corpse on his hands before
long.
My plan is 10 give my three medicines, in &C.
cordance with my printed directions, except in
some cases where lreer use OF the Mandrake
| Pills is necessary. My object is 10 give tone
10 the stomach--io get up good appetite. II

relish for food aud the graifcaioa OF that relish

is closely followed by healing Of the lungs.

Now there are many conSump,ives who have
no. the means TO 60 FloFida. he question may
be asked, is there no hope for such. Certainty
there is. Ny advice to such is, and ever has
! been, 10 stay in wsrm room during the winter,
with a temperature Of about seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly e. that point, by
means OF a th>rnonrtc:. lie! such A patient

sumption is as easily cured as any other dis.
eae if il is taken in time, and the proper kind Of
treatment pursued. The fact stands undis.
puted on record that Schenck' Pulmonic Syrup
| Mandrake Pills and Seaweed Tonic have cured
very many of what seemed TO be hopeless cases

be almost certain 10 find some poor cousumpiive
