safely recommended to consumpllyes in winter
My reasons for saying SO are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there il
less even temperature, and it is not necessary to
say that where consumptve psrson exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain 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 9th

he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida nearly everybody is using Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern latl-

Of Florida rarely die of consumption, especially
those of the southern part On the other hand,

are many thousands of cases there. What a vast
percentage of life would be saved if consump

they term little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear off in Il few days
They pay no attention to it, and hence ii lays the
foundation for another aud another still, until
lungs are diseased beyond all hope of cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected

that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who prescribes for
cold cough or night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day. will be
sure to have corpse his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines. in &C

some cases where freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary My object IN this Is to give

Now there many consumptives whe have

may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger

has been, to stay in arm room during the win

which should be kept regularly at that point by
means Of thermometer. Let such patient
take his exercise within the limits of the room

of what seemed to be hopeless of consump

rescued from the very jaws Of death by their use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply ofthem on hand.
