understand fully the course that ought TO be
pursued to restore a tolerably bad case of dis
eased lungs to healthy soundness. The first
and most important step is for the patient to
avoid taking cold, aud the best of all places on
this continentfor purpose in winter is Flori-
da, well down in this State. where the temper
allure is regular and not subject TO such varia-
tions as in more Northern latitude, Palatka is
point can recommend A good hotel is kept
there by Peterman Last winter saw several
persons there whose lungs had been badly dis
ased. bntwho, under the healing influence of
the climate and my medicines, were getting
well.
One hundred miles further down the river is
APPOINT which would prefer to Palatka, as tho
temperature Is more even and the air dry and
bracihg. Melonville and Enterprise are loca-
ted there. The tables in Florida might be
better, aud patients complain at times but that
is good sign, as it indicates return OF appe-
tite, and when this is the case they generally
increase in flesh and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Ilibernia, Green Cove, and
many other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptives
in winter. Ny reasons for saying so are that
patients are less liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature, and
it is not necessary TO say that where con
sumptiye person exposes himself 10 frequent
colds he Is certain TO die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, 90 well down into the State ont Of

person may take vast quantities of 'Seleneks

Pills" and yet die if 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
noithern latiudea 1t is well established
fact that natives Of Florida rarely die of con
sumption, especially those of the southern
part On the other hand, in New England one
third, at least, of the population die of this ter
rible disease. In the middle States it does
not prevail SO largely, still there are many
thousands Of cases there. What vast percen-
tage OF life would be saved if cosumptiyes
were as easily alarmed inregard to taking fresh
cold as they are about scarlet fever small pox,
&c. But they are not They take what they
term a little cold which they are creduons
enough to believe will wear off in a few days.
They pay no attention to it, and hence 1t
laws the foundation for another and another
still. until the lungs are diseased beyond all
hope for cure.
NV advice TO persons whose,lrngs are afiec-
ted even slightly is, TO lay in a stock of
Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea
weed Tonic and SchenclIs Mandrake Pills and
go to Florida. | recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acqnain-

they are used in strict accordance with my d.
reciions they will do tho rest. The physician

and then advises the patient to walk OF ride
out every day, WILDE sure to have corpse ON
his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines III ac-
cordance with the printed directions, except IN
some cases where freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary My object is to give tone

may be asked, is there no hope for such
Certainly there is. Ny advice to such is, and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
the winter. with a temperature ofa5out seventy
degrees which should be kept regularly at
that point, by means OF Thermometer. Let

limits Of the room by walking up and down AS

as any other disease ifitis taken in time, and
the proper kind Of treatment is pursued. The |
fact stands undisputed on record that Schenck's

seemed to be hopeless eases of consumption
Go where you will, you will be almost certain

So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned |

In conclusion will say that when persons

brought into healthy condition thereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, yet no one with
diseased lungs can bear a sudden change of at
