patients arc less liable to tn ke cold there than

he is certain to die shortly. Therefore. my
advice is, so we'll down into the State, cut Of

Jacksonyille, or almost any other Of the To-
calities have named, will benefit those who
arc troubled with torpid liver, diaordered
| stomach, dcranGed bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs nro diseased
nisnded.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profes.
eionally si, in New York, Boston. Baltimore and
amincd on an average five hundred patients a
week. a practice 30 extensive, embracing
every possible phase of lung disease, has ena.
bled me to understand the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a
person may take vnat quantitie of 'schepck's
Pumonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yot die if he does not avoid
schoncks Mandrake PILLS, for the climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than
| lishcd fact that natives of Florida rarely die
OF consumption, especially those of the South
ern part. On the other hand, in New Eng
in an' &c aes Least OF the popglaton
states it does not prevail 30 largely, still
there arc many thousands Of cases there.
What vast per centage of life would be eaved
gard to taking freah cold as they are about
scarlet fever, smallpox, DO. But they are
not: not They take what they term little cold,
will wear off in few days. They pay no at
tcntion to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lunRe
are diseased beyond all hope for cure. . L
My advice to persons whose lungs are
effected even slightly is. to lay in stock Of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sohenok's Seaweed
Tonic and schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida. I recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acqnafnt-
| cd with their action. know that where thew
are used in etrict accordance with my direc.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prcscri6cs for cold, cough
or nght-sweats, and then advises the patient
to walk or ride ont every, day. will be nure'to
have corpse on his hands before long. 80
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with the printed directions, e1-
cc9ept III some me, cases where freer use Of the
Mandrake Pills il necessary. Ny object is to
give tone to the stornach-to get up good
appetite. 1t is always a good sign when a
patent .mdh begins to grow hungry lave hopes
qualification OF tBat relish comes good blood,
and with 1t more flesh, which is closely fol-
lowed by heYling OF tho lungs. Then the
cough ioosens a4d abates, the creeping chills
and annoy, and THE patient gots well, provid-
ed he avoids takfrg cold.
