DIR. SCHENCK advises COnsumptives to

Having for the last thirty.fve years devoted my
whole time and attention to the study ofung diseases
and consumption, | feel that understand fully the
course that ought be pursued to toerably
bad OF diseased lungs to healthy soundness The
first and most important step is for the patient to avoid
taking cold and the best of all places this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida well down in the
State where the temperature is regular and not sub

TO say that where consumptive person exposes himself
to frequent colds he is certain to die shortly Therefore
my advice is go well down into the State of the
reach of prevailing east winds and fogs. Jacksonville,

MY advice to persons whose lungs are affected even

My plan is to give my medicines, in accordance with

to such s and ever has been, to stay in warm room
