nR. SCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME
L. TIVES TO GO TO FLORIDA IN WINTER.
Having for the last thirty five wears devoted
my whole time and attention to theduty of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that under
stand fully the course that ought to be pursued
to restore tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
to healthy soundness. The first and most mpor-
ant step is for the patient to avoid taxing cold,
and the best all places this con tinent for ts
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
ATTITUDES. Palatki is point can recommend
good hotel is kept there by Petern1an. Last
winter saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who, under the
healing influence Of the climate and my medi-
cines, were getting well. ~
One hundred miles further down the river is a
point which would prefer to Palatka, DIS 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
tients complain at times but that is good sign,
as it indicates a return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal.
MsJacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and ma
ny other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to cnnsumptives in
winter My reasons for saying are that patien is
are lesS ilaOle To take tnefe imam mere tnerc
is less even temperature, and it is not necessary
to say that where consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die short
~ Therefore my advice is, go well down into
the State out of reach of prevailing east winds
and fogs ia cksonville, or almost any other of
the localities | have named. will benefit those
who are troubled with a torpid river disorder
ed stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased a
more southern point is earnestly recomm ended. :
For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profess
lily IN New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where l saw and ex
amined ON an average five hundred patients

possible phase of lung disease has enabled me 10
understand the disease fully, and hence, my eau
ton in regard to taking cold A person may take
vast quantities of 'sSghenck's Pulmonic syrup,
seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. and yet del
ii he does not avoid taking cold.
! In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schencks
| Medicines, especially Schencks Mandrake Pills,
for he climate is likely to produce bilious
habits than more northern ATTITUDES 1t is well
established fact that natives of Florida rarely
die OF consumption, especially those of the south
ern part On the other hand, in New England,
one-thrd. at least, of the population die OF thls
| terrible disease In the Middle States it does not
prevail as largely, still there many thousands
of cases there What vast percentage OF ME
would be saved if consumptives were as easily
rmed il regard to taking fresh cold as they
are about scarlet fever, small pox, &c. But they
are not They take what they term little cold
hich they are credu lous enough tobelieve Will
wear off in a few days. They pay attention
it, and hence it laws the foundation for another
nd another still, until tie lungs are diseased
eyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in stock of Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenks Seaweed Tonic and
Schenk's Mandrake p ills and 90 to Florida.
| recommend these particular medicines because
! am thoroughly acquainted with their action

! ture will do the rest The physician who per
scribes for cold, cough or night sweats, and thcr
advises the patient to walk or ride out every
day, will be sure to have corpse on his hand
before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in &C
cordance with the printed directions, except II
some cases where a freer use of the mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is t" give tone t
tie stomach-to get up good appetite. 1t i

grow hungry. have hopes of such. With
relish for food and the qualification of that rel

which is closely followed bya healing of tn
lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates, tn

longer PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient get
well, provided he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptyes who hav,
not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger
tamly there is. My advice to such Is, and ever
has been, to stay in a warm room during winter
with temperature of about seventy degrees
which should be kept regular at point, b,
means of themome ter. Let such patton
take his exercise within the limits of the room
bvwalkng up and down as much as his Strengt
will permit, in order to keep up healthy circu
laton of the blood. | have cured thousands BY
this system, and can do so again. Consumptio
, sas easily cured as any other disease If it
{ taken in time, and the proper kind of treatmen
is pursued The fact stands undisputed on rec
ord that Schenk' Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very man
ofwhat seemed to be hopeless cases OF consumr
ton. Go where you will, you will be almos
certain to find some poor consumptiye who ha
been cured from the very jaws of death by thei
use.
T So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
! everybody should keep suppl " of them O.
hand. They act on the liver better than calt
mel and leave none of its hurtful effects behind
In fact they are excellent in all eases where
purgative medicine is required Ii you hav
partaken too freely of fruit and diarrhoea Ell
sues, a dose of Mandrake will cure you. 1fyo

Mandrakes and they will relieve you in tw

take one of the Mandrakes every night, and yol
may then drink water and eat watermelions
pears, apples, plums, peaches, corn without
risk ofbeing made sick by them. They wi
protect those who live in damp situations ngains
chiils and tevers. Try them, they are perfect
harmless. They can do good only. | hav
