my whole time and attention 10 The stuuV Oh

lungs to he7Iihy soundness. The hr't aud
most important step is ioI the patient 10 AVOID
taking cold, and the best OF all places on this
continent for this purpose in wlnlerr Is Flonta,
well down IN the State. where the temperature
is regular, and not subject 10 such variations as

who under the healing influence Of ,he climate

jacksonville, Hlbernla, Green Cove, and many
olber places IN various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended 10 conSumpllves IN winter.
My reasons for saying are tha! patients
arc less liable TO take cold there than
where there is a less even tenlera ere
and 1t is rot necessary 10 say that a con-
sumptive person exposes himself 20 frequent
colds no is certain TO die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, 90 well down into the State out

are taoubled with torpid liver, dlsordered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or cough,
but for those whose lungs are diseased a more
southern point is earnestly recommended.

my caution in regard 10 taking coli. pc son

anu YET die If he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody Is uslnS
Schenck's Mandrake Fills, for the climate Is
more likely 10 produce billiou' habits than more
northern latitude. It's well established !act
that natives OF Florida rarely die Of Consumption
especially those OF the southern part. Ga the
other hand in New england, one third, at eIst, ,
of the population die VI this terrible disease. In
the Middle States it does rot prevail so largely,
still there are many thousands oil cases there.
What vast percentage OF lie would be saved u
consumptlyes were easily alarmed in regard
to taking fresh cold as hey are about scarlet
fever, small po1, &c. But they are not, They
take what they term q litl!c cod, which they ere
creduious enough 10 believe will wear of IN
few days. They pay no attention 10 1t, and
hence II lays The ionDGal0n Tor another and

, all hope for care.
My advice tn persons whose lungs are affect
ed even slightly Is, o lay N stock OF SChencks

Scht nck'S Mandrake Pills and go TO Florida
