DR.. SCHENCK advises COnsump-
fiYes to go to Florida in Winter.


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
ern attitudes Palstka is point cal recon-
mend \ good hotelis kept there by Peterman
Last winter saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under
the herring influence of the climate ana my med
icines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river Is a
point which would prefer to Palatka, as the
Temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are located
there. / should give decided preference to
Mellonville., 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there
The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
tents complain at times but that is good sign,
as it indicates return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase IN flesh,
and the lungs must heal. rgs
jacksonville Hibernia. Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptiyes in winter.
NV reasons for saying SO are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
less even temperature, and 1t is not necessary to
say that where a consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go we'll down
into the State out of the reach of prevailing east
winds and fogs jacksonville, or almost any 9TH
er 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 a
more southern point is earnestly recommended.

A practice so extensive, embracing every posi-
BILE phase Of lung disease has enabled mt to I'M
derstand the disease fully, and hence, my caution
in regard to taking cold. Aperson may take vast
quantities of .Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, Sea-
weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills" and yet die If
he does not avoid taking cold
In Florida nearly everybody is using Schenck' s
Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern lati
ludes. 1t 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. one-third at least, of the pop
ulation die of this terrible disease. In the Mid
die States it does net prevail so largely still there
are many thousands OF cases there. What a vast
percentage of life would be saved if consump
lives were as easily alarmed in regard to taking
fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, small
pox, sc. But they not. They take what
they term little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear off in 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. -
NV advice to persons whose lungs affected
even slightly is, to lay IN q stock OF Schencks
Pulmonc Syrup, Sehenck's Seaweed Tonic and
schenck's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. l

know that where they are used in strict accord
ance with my directions they will do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who prescrlbes for
cold. cough nght-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day. will be
sure to have corpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object in this is to give
tone to the stomach-to get up good appetite
t is always good sign when the patient begins
to grow hungry. have hopes of such. With
relish for food and the qualification of that rel
sh comes good blood and with it more flesh,
which is closely followed by healing of the
lungs. Then the cough looscns and abates, the
creeping chills and clammy nightsweats no long
er PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient gets
we'll, provided he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptiyes whe have
not the means to go to Florida The question
may be asked is there no hope for such? Ger
has been, to stay in a warm room during the WIN
ter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly at that point by
means of 81 thermometer. Let such patient
take his exercise within the Limits of the room
by walking up and down as much as his strength
viii permit in order to keep up a healthy cir
culation of the blood. l have cured thousands
by this system, and can do SO again. Consump-
ton is as easily cured any other disease if it
is taken in time and the proper kind of treat
ment is pursued. The fact stands undisputed on
| record that Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup Mandrake
Pills, and SeaEeed Tonic have cured very many
of what seemed to be hopeless cases of consump
ton. Go where you will, you will be almost GER
tain to find some poor consumptiye who has been
rescued from the very jaws of death by their Use
