. Having for the last thirty.aye years DEVOTED
my whole time and attention 10 the study Of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that under

restore tolefably bad case Of diseased lungs TO
healthy soandness. The hrst and most import
ant step Is for the patient TO avoid taking cold,
and tho best OF all places on this continent for
this purpose In winter, is FloFlda, well down In

Grn attitudes. Palatk1 Is point can recon-

Last winter saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under
the healing influence Of the climate and my med.
lclnes, were getting well.

temperature Is moro even and the air dry and

there. The tables in Florida might be better,

Philadelphia, every week, where saw and TX
amInCd on an average Ave hundred patients q
week. A practice 80 extensive, embracing every
possible phase Of lung disease, has enabled me
10 understand tho dlicAsGfully, and hence, my
caution In regard TO taking cold. A person may
take vast quantities OF "SchCnck's PulmOnic
Syrup, SeAwccd Tonic and Mandrake Pills, and

In FloridA, nearly everybody is using sGheIck :
Mandrake pills, for the climate Is more likely 70
produce bilious habits than moro northern iati.
tndes It's o well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die Of consumption, especially
those OF tho southern part On the other hand,
in Now England, One.thlrd, at least, Of tho Pop1-
latiOn, die Of this terrible disease. In tho Mid:
dlo States IL docs not prevail 30 largely, still
there arc many thousands Of cases there; What

My plan ID TO give my three medicines In &C

some cases where trecr use OF the Mandrake
Pills Is necessary. My object is to give tone TO

Is as easily cured Us any other disease II II Is
taken In time, and the proper Einh OF treatment
Is pursued. The fact stands undisputcd on re-

Of what seemed to be hopeless cases Of cOnsump-
ton. Go where you will, yOu will bO almost Ger

So far AS the Mandrake Pills arr concerned,
everybody should keep supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calOnlel,
and leave mono Of Its hurtll effects behind. In
fact they arc excellent In all cases where a pur-
gatiVe medicine Is required. II yOn have par

The Respiromcter declares the exact condition Of
the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether
they arc durable Or not. But desire It distinct
ly understood that the value Of my medicine de-
ponds entirely upon their being taken strictly ac-
cOrding to directions ,A p..t
In conclusion, Twill say that when persons
take my medicines and their systems are brought
into healthy condition thereby, they arc note
liable to take cold, yet no one With diseased
lungs can bear sudden change Of atmosphere
without the liability Of greater or less irritation
Of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions In all languages accompany my
medicines, SO explicit and clear that any ono can
use them without consulting mo, and can DO
