DIR. SCHEYCK ADVISES CoNsUMP-

course to pursue to get q tolerably bad case
of diseased lungs in a healing condition.
The most important matter is to prevent
taking cold. The most certain place is to
go to Florida in winter, and well down in
the State where the air is even. Palatka
is a good place, and a good house is
kept there by Peterman. The blck grounds
are rather low, with some tendency
to fever and ague. l saw number
there last winter whose lungs we're, or had
been, deeply diseased and we're getting we'll.
One hundred miles lower down the river l
would prefer, as the temperature is more
even and the air more dry. 1 allude to Mel
lonville and Enterprise, and prefer Mellon
vile to any place 1 visited, on account of its
being two miles from the river or lake, and
it seems impossible to take cold. Some COM
plain of the living little, but that is a good
sign for a consumptive to want something to
eat. The majority of them appear to grow
in flesh, and when this is the case, lungs
must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and
many ether places, in fact all through Florida
is the place for consumptves in winter, for if
person once gets his lungs diseased, and
keeps constantly taking little colds, he is
sure to die with consumption. This is why
say go well down in the State, away from
fogs and east winds. Persons having torpid
liver, stomach and bowels deranged sore
throat, or cough, may go to Jacksonville or
any of those places and recover but if the
lungs are really diseased go further South.
For the last fifteen years, until about year
ago, was professionally in New York, Bal
timore, and Philadelphia every week. saw
and examined on an average five hundred
patients week, which gave me an opportu-
nifty to know what course to pursue to cure
consumption. A person may take three
times as much of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills as is ne
cessary and die if they do not prevent taking
cold.
In Florida you will find nearly all using my
medicines, especially my Schencks Mandrake
Pills; for the climate is more bilious than
here in the North. In fact, natives of Flo
rida seldom have consumption especially in
the southern part. In New England one-third
of the population die with lung Diseases in
the Middle States not SO many, but enough.
What a great percentage of this could be
prevented if they would be as much fright
ened at it as a person would be at scarlet
fever or smallpox, but when they get a cold
they think it will wear off in a few days, in
stead of which they get another and another,
until the lungs are seriously diseased.
would advise every person complaining
with lung disease to lay in stock of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea-
weed Tonic, and Schenck's Mandrake Pills,
and go to Florida. I say these medicines,
because they do what ought to be done, and
nothing more is required. Nature has got to
do the rest. When physician gives patient
medicine to stop the cough, chills, or night
sweats, and tells them to walk or ride out
every day to get the fresh air, they will be
very sure to die. Now, all do is to give my
three medicines, according to the directions,
except in some cases more Mandrake Pills
are required. get a tone to the stomach; 1
get up good appetite; the sufferer Graves
food; it digests and makes good blood; the
patient begins to grow in flesh, and the lungs
begin to heal Then the cough begins to get
loose and abates, the creeping chills and
night-sweats stop, and the patient gets well
and healthy.
If any one find themselves going into con-
sumption and do not feel able to go to

shut themselves up in a room in winter,
have thermometer, and keep the room at
about seventy degrees, walking about the
room as much as their strength will admit in
order to keep their blood in circulation.
Consumption is as easily cured as any other
disease if the right course is pursued. 1t
cannot be denied but that Schenck's Pull
monic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake
Pills cure many very low cases of consump-
tion. Go where you will you will be sure to
hear of some one that has been rescued, as it
were, from the death-bed of consumption>by
these medicines.
Everybody should keep on hand Schenck's
Mandrake Pills; they act on the liver better
than calomel, and are good in every instance
where purgatives are required.
If you have eaten too much fruit, and diar-
fhoea has set in, take dose of the pills and
physic it off. If you are subject to sick
headache, take dose of the pills and you
will be relieved in two hours. Where per-
sons are living in the country in summer, and
eating freely of fruit, take one of Schenck's
Mandrake Pills every night, or every other
night, just sufficient to keep the bowels gently
open. They can eat corn, watermelons, pears,
apples, or plums as freely as they like without
danger, and they will be sure to escape chills
and fever. Try them; they are perfectly
harmless. have abandoned my professional
