- sUMPTlVEs TO GO TO FLORIDA IN
Having ior the last thirty-nve years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study OF
lung diseases and consumption, feel that un-
derstand fully the course that ought TO pursued
to healthy soundness. The first and most Inn
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,
and not subject to such variations as in more
Northern latitudes. Palatka is a point can re-
commend. a good hotel is kept there by Peter
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
under the healing influence of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.

there. The tables in Florida might be better,

when this Is the case they general ~ increase In

other places in various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives In winter
My reasons for saying so are That patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there In
less even temperature, and 1t is not necessary

shortly. Therefore my advice Is, go well down

The Respirometer declares the exact condition
