Having for the last thirty. five years devoted my
whole time and attention TO the study of lung diseases
and consumption, feel that understand fully the
course that ought tn loo pursued to restore Olerably
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 sub
ject to such Variations as IN more Northern ATTITUDES.

my advice is, go well down into the State, out OF tho

My advice to persons whose lungs are affected even

Now there are many consumptives who have not the

to such is, and has BEEN to stay in warm room
during the winter with temperature of about seventy
degrees which should be kept regularly at that point

that Schenck's Pumonc Syrue. Mandrake Pills, and

SO far as the Mandrake pills are concerned every.
body should keep supply on hand. They act the
liver better than caome and leave of its hurfu

where purgative medicine is required. If you have
paraken too freely of fruit and diarrhea enses dose
