patients arc loss liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature, and it
is not necessary to say that where a consump-
tive person exposes himself to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly. Therefore. my
advice is, go we'll down into tho State. out Of

In Florida. nearly everybody is using

more likely to produce bilious habits than
more Northern lutitudcs. It is a we'll cst,,b-

there arc many thousands OF cases there.
