to take cold there. Tho tables in Florida

they generally increase in flesh, and then the
lungs must heal.

patients are lcss liable to take cold there than
where therc is n less even temperature, and il
ls not necessary to say that where a consump-
tive person exposes himself to frequent colds,
he is certain to dio shortly. Therefore. my
advice is, go we'll down into the State. cut of

hence my caution in regard to taking cold A
person may take vast quantities Of ''Schcnck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Man

taking cold.
Schcnck's Mandrake PILLS, for the climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than
moro Northern latitudes. 1t is we'll cstab-
lishcd fact that natives of Florida rarely die
OF consumption, especially those of tho South
ern part. On tho other hand, in New Eng

NY advice to persons whose lungs are

My plan is to give my throo medicines In
accordance with the printed directions, e1-
cept i'll some cases where freer use of tho
Mandrake Pills is necessary My object is to
give tone to tho stomach-to get up good
appetite. It is always good sign when a
patient begins to grow hungry. have hopes

gratiiication OF that relish comes good blood,

and annoy, and the patient gets well, provid-
ed he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptivee who have
not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope Tor such?
Certainly thcreis. My advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
the winter, with a temperature of about
seventy, degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means of ther-
mometer. Let such patient take his cx.
ercise within tho limits of tho room by walk
ing up and down as much as his strength will
permit, in order to keep up healthy circula-
tion OF the blood. I have cured thousands
by this system, and can do 80 again. Con-
sumption is as easily cured as any other
disease, if tnken in tmc and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputed on record that Schenck's Pumo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Iills, and Seawecd Tonic
have cured very many OF what seemed to bo
hopeless cases OF consumption. Go where

So far as tho Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calo.

hind. In fact, they are excellent in all caees
where Il purgative medicine is required. If
you have partaken too frecl, of fruit and
diarrhra ensucs, a dose of the Mandrakes
will cure You. If you are subject to sick

they will relieve you in two hours. If you
