HAVING for the last thlrty.avo years devoted
nv whoie lime and attention TO the study Of luns

restore tolerAbly bad case OF diseased lungs tC
healthy sOundnesS. The hrst and most import
ant step. ia for the patient TO avoid taking cold
aud the best Of all places on this continent foI
this purpose In winter, Is Florida, well down II

NOT subject TO such variations as In more North

mend. A good hotel Is kept there By Peternan
Last wiuter saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, undei
the healing influence OF the climate and my med
iClnes, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river 10 d

there, The tables In Florida might be better
and patients complain At times, but that 70 good
sign, as It indicates return OF appetite, and
when this Is the case they generally increase In
flesh. and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, HibGrnia, Green Cove, and many
other places In various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended 70 consumptlvCs In winter.
My reasons far saying 80 are that patients are
leSs liable 10 take cold thefe than where there IL
less even temperature, and 1t Is not necessary

himself to frequent colds he Is certAlnt6 Ole
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the State out Of tho reach Of prevailing eAsI
winds and fOgs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with torpid liver, dis
ordered stomach, derAnged bowels, sore throat
or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased

For fiteen ycars prior to 1860, was PROBES;
siOnAlly In New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, every week, where saw and cx'
amIned on an average i've hundred patients
week. A practice so extensive, embracing every
possible phase OF lung disease, has enabled me
10 understand the disease fnlly, and hence, my
caution In regard TO taking cold. A person may
take vast quantities Of ''SchGnck'6 PllmOniC
Syrup, SeawCed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, " and
yet die II he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody IL using Schenck'a
Mandrake Pills, for tho climate is moro likely "a
produce bilious habits than moro northern lati'
tudcs It 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, onethird, at least, Of tho p0pu'
latlOn, die Of this terrible disease. In the MID,
die States 1t docs not prevail 90 largely, sui
there are many thousands OF cases there. What
a vast per ceuIAge Of life would be saved II con
sumptfves were as easily alarmed In regard to
taking fresh cold Us they are about scarlet fever
smoll pOx, &c. But they arc not. They nike
what they term little cold, which they arc cred
ulOus enough TO believe will wear of in few
days They pay no attention TO It, and hence u
lays the foundation for another and another still
until the lunge arc diseased beyond all hope fol
cure.
NY advice to persons whose lungs arc affected
even slightly il, to lay In q stock Of SchenCk's
PemOuic Syrup, Schencks SeawGed Tonic and
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and 60 to Florida.
recommend these particular medicines because
am thoroughly acquainted with their action.
KNOW that where they arc used In strict accord
anCC with my directions they viii do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who pFeFeribcs fol
cold, cough or nightsweats and then advises the
patient 10 walk or ride out every day. will be sure
10 have a corpse on his hands before long.
My plan Is 10 give my three medicines, In &C.
corda1cG with the printed directions, except In
some cases where q fTeer use OF the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object Is to give tone to
the stomach-to get up, good appetite. It Is
always q good sign when patient bc.int 10
grow hungry. have hopes Of such. With a
relish for food and the qualification Of that relish
comes good blood and with It more flesh, which
is closely followed by healing OF the lungs.
Then the cough loOsene and abates, the creeping
trate and annoy, and the patient gets well, pro-
ylded he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptiVes who have
not the means 70 go TO Florida. The question
may be asked, IL there no hope for such Ger.
tAinly there L. Ny advice TO such Is, and ever
has been, to stay Ia warm room during the win
ter with temperature Of abOut seventy degrees,
which should DO kept regularly at that point, by
means OF thermometer. Let such patient
take his exercise within the limits oil the room by
walking up and down a. much as bis strength
will permit In order to keep up healthy circu'
latiOn Of the blood. have cured thousands by
this system, and can do so again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other disease II II Is
taken In time, and the proper kind oil treatment
Is pursued. The fact stands undisputed on re-.
cord that SChenck's PulmOnic Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and SGAWeed Tonic have cured very many
Of what seemed TO be hopeless Cases OF c0nsunp-
ton. Go where you will, you will be almost GER
tain to hnd come poor conSumptiVe who has boon
rescued from the laws Of death by their use
So far as the Mandrake Pills arc concerned,
everybody should keep 4 supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calomel,
and leave none Of Its hurttul effects behind. In
fact they are excellent In all cases where pur-
gatve medicine Is required. II you have par
taken too freely Of fruit and diarrhea ensues, 4
dose Of the Mandrakes will cure you. II you
are subject 10 sick headache, take dose OF the
MandrRkcs and they will relieve you In two
hOurs. II you would ObviAte the effect Of

or every other night, and you may then drink
water and eat WAtermelOns, pears, apples, plums,
peaches or corn. without the risk OF being made
sick by them. They will protect those who live
In damp situations against chills and feyers. Try
them. They are perfectly harmless. They can
do you good only.
