ADVISES CONSUMPTlVES
TO 90 TO
FLORIDA IN WINTER.


lung diseases and consumption, feel that
understand fully The course that ought - be puf-
sued TO restore tolerably bad case Of diseased
lungs TO he1iihy soundnesS. The hr'i AID
most important step is loi the patient 10 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 varations a'
in n re Northern laInudes. Pals'ka is point
| can recomend. good hotel is kept there ty
Pelerman. Las. winter saw several persons
there whose lungs had been badly diseased, but
who under the healing influence of the climate
and my medicines were getting well.
One hundred mics further down Dhe river is
point which would prefer to Paalka, as the
temperature Is more even and The air dry and
bracing. MelIonve and Enterprise are Ioca-
ted lheIe. | should give decicoi preference
to Mel!onyiIIe Il Is two miles from river or
lake, and it seems almost impossible to take
cold there. The tables in Florida might be bet
ter and patients complain al times but that Is
good sign, as it indicates return otapPeute' and
when this is the case the eeneralIo increase IN
flesh, and then the lungs must heel
Jacksonville, Hiberna, Green Cove, and many
otber places IL various parts OF Florida, can be
safcly recommended to consumPiIVes in winter.
My reasons 70: saying SO are tia: patients
are less liable 10 take cold there than
where there is less even tempera ere
and it is 70: necessary TO say that ccE-
sunptive person exposes himself 10 frequent
colds he is certain 10 die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, 90 well down into the Sta:e out
Of the reach O! prevailing east winds and fogs.
Jacksonville, and almost uny other OF the local.
ites thai have named, will benefit those who
are taoubled with torpid liver, dlsordered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or cough,
but for those whose lungs ere diseaS5t more
southern point is earnestly recommended.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, was Proles-
sionaIly IN New York, Boston, Baltimore, and
Philadelphia every we X, where | saw end eI-

In Florida, neatly everybody is uslnS
Schenck's Mandrake Fills, for ths climate is
more likely to produce billion, habits than more
northern latitude. 1t is well established fact
that natives o! Florida rarely die Of consumption
especially those of tho Soulbern part On the
other hand in New England, ore third, at least,
of the population die Of this terrible disease. 10
the Middle States il does not prevail so largely,
still there are many thousands OF cases there.
" hat vas. percentage OF life would be saved If
consumptlves were as easily alarmed in regard
to taking fresh cold as they are about scarlet
fever. sms poz, &c. Bu they are not. They
take what they term a iiule cold, which they ere
credulous enough 10 believe will wear off in a
few days. They pay no attention 10 it, and
hence II lays the foundation Tor another and
another sll,unuil the lungs are dheased beyond
al hope for cure.
