In Florida. noarly everybody is using

States it does not prevail 30 largely, still
there arc many thousands of cases there.
What vast PER centage OF life would be saved
gard to taking fresh cold az they arc about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they are
not. They take what they term q little cold,
Which they are credulous enough to bc,icve
tcntion to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, rntil the lungs
are discussed beyond all hope for cure.
MY advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in a stock Of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Scawccd
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and 20
to Florida. recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. know that where they
are used in strict accordance with my direc.
tions, they will do the work that is required.
This accomplished, nature will Go the rest.
Tho physician who prescribes for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises tho patient
to walk or ride out every day, will bo sure tn
have a.orpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with tho printed directions, ex-
cept III some cases where freer use of the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give tone to tho stomach-to get up q good
appetite. 1t is always good sign when

qualification OF that relish comes good blood,
and with it moro flesh, which is closely fol-
lowed by healing OF the lungs. Then the
cough loosons and abates, the creeping chills
and cammy night-sweats no longer PROSTATE

cd he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptives who have
not tho means to go to Florida. The question

Certainly therei is My advice to such il. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during

mometer. Let such patient take his tx.

permit, in order to keep up healthy circula-

by this system, and can do 80 again. Con-
sumption il as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undlspdttd on record that Schenek's PulmO-
mic syrup, Mandrake rills, and Seawsed Tonic
have CURED very many of what seemed to bo
hopeless Cases OF consumption. 60 where
you will, you will be- almost certain to 6nd
some poor consunptive who has been rescued
from the very jaws OF death by their use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep a supply of them on
band. They act on tho liver better than cnlo-
mel. and leave none OF its hurtful effects be-
hind. In fact, they are excellent in ell cases
where purgative medicine il required. If
you have partaken too freely Of fruit and
diarrh1a ensues, dose Of the Mandrakes
will cure you. II yen are suGioos 10 5ica
