DIR. SCHENCK AID VISEs 90 NsUzfP rTVES
TO GO TO ELORLDA IN WINTER


understand fully the course that ought to be
pursued to restore a tolefably bad case of
diseased tlungs to healthy souudness. The
first and most important step is for the patient
to avoid taking cold and the best of all places
on this continent for this purpose in winter Is
Florida, we'll down in the State, where the tenn
perature is regular, and not subject to such
variations as in more Northern latitudes.
Palatka is point 1 can recommend. A good
hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last winter
1 saw several persons there whose lungs had
been badly diseased, but who, under the heal
ing influence of the climate and my medicines,
were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river Is a
point which would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature Is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonvie aud Enterprise are located
there. / should give decided preference to
Mellonvlle. 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and 1t seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables In Florida might be better,
and patients 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.
Jacksonville Hibernia, Green Cove and many
other places in various parts of Florida
can be safely recommended to consumptives in
winter. Ny reasons for saying so are that pa
tients less liable to taks cold there than where
there is O less even temperature, and 1t is not
necessary to say that where q consumptive per-
son exposes himself to frequent colds he is GER
tain to die shortly. Therefore my advice is, go
well down into the State out of the reach of
prevailing east winds and fogs. Jacksonville,
or almost any other of the localities have
named, will benefit those who are troubled with
torpid liver, disordered stomach, deranged
bowels, sore throat cough; but for those
whose lungs are diseased more southern point
is earnestly recommended. rH
For fNeen years prior to 1859 was profess
sionally In New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where l saw and
examined on an average five hundred patients a
week. Apractice so extensive, embracing every
possible phase of lung disease, has enabled me
to understand the disease fully, and hence my
caution in regard to taking cold. A person may
take vast quantities of ''Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills, and
yet die If he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida nearly everybodyis using Schencks
Medicines, especially Schenck's Mandrake Pills,
for the climate is more 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 southern part. On the other hand
in New England one-third at least of the popu-
lation die of this terrible disease In the Middle
States 1t does not prevail SO largely; still there
are many thousands of cases there. What vast
percentage of life would be saved If consump-
tives were as easily alarmed in regard to taking
fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, small
pox, etc.! But they are not They take what
they term little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear off in a few days.
They pay no attention to it, and hence it lays
the foundation for another and another STILL
until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope of
clire.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is to lay in stock of Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic, and
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, and go to Florida
recommend these particular medicines because
am thoroughly acquainted with their action
l know that where they are used in strict ac-
cordance with my directions they will do the
work that is required. This accomplished,
scribes for cold, cough, or night sweats, and
then advises the patient to walk or ride out
every day, will be sure to have corpse upon
his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. Ny object is to give tone to
the stomach--to get up good appetite. 1t is
always agood sign when patient begins to grow
hungry. / have hopes of such. With relish
for food and the qualification of that relish
comes good blood, and with 1t more flesh
which Is closely followed by healing of the
lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates, the
creeping chills and clammy night sweats no lon
ger PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient gets
well, provided he avoids taking cold
Now there are many copsumptives who have
not the means to 60 to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such Ger
tainly there Is. 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 thermometer. Let such a
patient take his exercise within the limits
of the room by walking up and down
as much as his strength will permit, in
order TO keep up q healthy circulation of
the blood have cured thousands by this sys-
tenn, and can do so again. Consumption Is as
easily cured as any other disease If 1t Is taken
pursued. The fact stands undlsputed on record
that Schencks Pulmoric Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very many
of what seemed to be hopeless cases of con-
sumption. Go where you will, you will be
almost certain TO find some poor consumptiye
v no has been rescued from the very jaws of
death by their use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calo-
mel and leave none of its hurtful effects be-
bind. In fact they are excellent in all cases
where purgative medicine is required If you
have partaken too freely of fruit, aud diarrhea
If you are subject sick headache take a dose of
the Mapdrakes, and they will reelive you in two
hours If you would obviate the effect of
change of water, or the too free indulgence in
fruit AXE one of the Mandrakes every night
and you may then drink water and eat water
melons, pears, apples, plums peaches or corn
without the risk OF being made sick by them.
They will protect those who live in damp situa-
tions against chills and fevers. Try them.
They are perfectly harmless. They can do you
