every possible phase OF lung disease, has ena-

hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a.
person may take vast quantities of '!Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Scawced Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yet die if he does not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida. nearly everybody is using

ern part. On tho other hand in New Eng
land, one:third, at least, of tho population

States it does not prevail 30 largely, still
there arc many thousands Of cases there.
What vast per centage of life would be saved
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
scariot fever, smallpox, &c. But they are
not. They take what they term a little cold,
Which they are credulons enough to believe
will wear of in a few days. They pay no at.
tcntion to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lunge
| are diseased beyond all hope for cure.
| My advice to persons whose lungs are
| affected even slightly ie, to lay in stock Of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Seaveed
Ionlc and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
| to Florida. I recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-

are used in strict accordance with my direc-
tions, they will do the work that is required.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest s
The physician who prescrihea for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
| to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to
have corpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with the printed directions, e1-
cept in come cases where freer use Of the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
| give tone to the stomach--to get up good
appetite. 1t is always good Sign when a
of such. With a relish for food and the
qualification of that relish comes good blood.
and with it more flesh, which is closely fol-
lowed by healing OF the lungs. Then the

Now there arc many cOnsumpiiycs who have.

may be asked, il there no hope Tor such?
