DIR. SCHENCK advises COnsump-
tiVes to go to Florida in Winter.


my whole time and attention to the study of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that [ under
stand fully the course thai oughtto be puasued
to restore tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
to health and soundness. TIE first and most i'm
portant step is for the patient to avoid taking
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
in the State. where the temperature is regular :
not subject to such variations as in more North

mend. A good hotel is kept there by Peterman.
Last winter saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under
the herling influence Of the climate and my med
icines, were getting well.

temperature is more even and the air d, and

there l should give decided preference to
Mellonville. 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there

as it indicates return of appetite. and when
this is the case they generally increase IN flesh,
and the lungs must heal.
jacksonville, Hibernia. Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida can be
safely recommended to consumptves in winter
My reasons for saying SO are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
less even temperature, and it is not necesss-v tn
say that where consumptiye persee,n exnoses
himself to frequent colds he is, certain to die
shortly. Therefore my es.1.yice is, 90 well down

he does not avoid taking cold. ssg
In Florida. nearly everybody is using Schencks
Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern ati-
tudes. 1t is a 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 pop
ulation die of this terrible disease. In the Mid
die States it does net prevail largely still there
are many thousands of cases there. What vast
percentage of life would be saved if consump-
twas were easily alarmed in regard to taking
fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever small
pox, &c. But they not They take what
they term little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear off in a few days.
They pay no attention to it. and hence it lays the
foundation for another and another still, until
lungs are diseased beyond all hope of cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in stock OF Schenck's
Pulmonc Syrup, schenek's Seaweed Tonic and
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida l

that is required. This accomplished, nature will

cold, cough night sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day. will be
sure to have corpse OH his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines. in &C
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where freer of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object in this is to give
tone to the stomach-to get up good appetite.

Now there many consumptiyes who rave

may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger
tainly there is. My advice to such is, and ev +
has been, to stay in warm room durin :the WIN

which should be kept regularly at that point by
means of thermometer. Let such patient

is taken in time, and the proper kind of treat
ment is pursued. The fact stands undisputed on
record that Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup Mandrake
