!; IL I,, Ss,uMPTTvEs TO GO 70 FLORIDA IN
Having for the last thIrty.aye years devoted
my whole time and attention TO the study Of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that under'
stand fully the course that ought to bG pursued "a
restore q tolerably bad case OF diseased lungs 70
healthy soundness. The first and most import
ant step is for tho patient to avoid taking cold
and the best Of all places on this continent fol
this purpose In winter, 10 Florida, well down In
the State, where the temperature Is regular, and
not subject 10 such variations as In more North
ern attitudes. Palatka e a point ! can recon-
mend. A good hotel Is kept there by PeternAn.
Last winter saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under
the healing influence OF the climate and my med
iclnes, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river Ia q
point which | would prefer 10 PalatGa, as the
temperature Is more even and the air dry and
braclng. MellonYillo and Enterprise are located
there, | should give decided preference To
McllOnville, II Is two miles from river or lake,
and II seems almost impossible TO take cold
there. The tables In Florida might 10 better,
and patients complain at times, but that Is good
sign, as Il indicates a return ofappetltc, and
flesh, and then the lungs must heal,
Jacksonville, Hibcrnia, Green Cove, and many
other places In various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended to cOnsumpttvcs 10 winter.
My reasons far saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there Ia
a less even temperature, and u is not necessary
TO say that where acOnsumptiVo person exposes
himself TO frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice lie, 20 we'll down
into the State out Of the reach Of prevailing cast
winds and fOgs Jacksonville, or almost any
other Of the localities have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with torpid liver, a dis
ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat
or cough, but for those whose lungs arO diseased

mcnded.
For 6itecn years prior to 1860, I was pro fes.
sionAlly In New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, every week, where saw and cx'
amined on an average i've hundred patients a
week. A practice 90 extensive, embracing every
possible phase OF lung disease, has enabled me
10 understand the disease flllyrand hence, my
caution In regard to taking cold. A person may
take vast quantities OF "schenck's pnlmOnic
Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills." and

tudes. 1t Is well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die OF consumption, especially
those OF the southern part. On tho other hand,
In New England, One.thlrd, at least, OF the pOpu.
lation, die Of this terrible disease. In The Mid.
die States 1t does not prevail 20 largely, still
there arc many thousands OF cases there. What
q vast per cdntage Of life would be saved II con-
sumptlyes were as easily alarmed In regard TO
taking fresh cold rs they are about scarlet fever,
smoll p0x, &c. But they are not. They take
what they term little cold, which they arc cred.
uOus enough to believe will wear of Ia few
days. They pay no attention to It, and hGneo II
lays the foundation for another and another still,
until the lunge arc diseased beyond all hope for
cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs arc affected
even slightly Is, to lay In q stock Of Schenck's
Pclmonic Syrup, Schenck's SeaweGd Tonic and
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. l
recommend these particular medicines because

ancG with my directions they will do the work
that Is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who prCscrlbcs for
cold, cough or nightsweats and then advises the
patient to walk or ride out every day, will DO sure
10 have a corpse on his hands before long

Now there arc many consnmptivCs who have
not the means TO go to Florida. Tho question
may be asked, IL there no hope for suchf Ger
tRinly there Is. My advice to such L., aud ever
has been, to stay In warm room during the win
ter. with temperature OF about seventy degrees,
which should DO kept regularly at that point, by
means Of thermometer Let such a patient

So far rs the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calomcl,
and leave none Of Its hurtful effects behind. In
fict they arc excellent In all cases where pur-

them. They arc perfectly harmless. They can
do you good only.

In conclusion, / win say that when persons
take my medicines and their systems are brought
into healthy condition thCtcby, they arc not go

lungs can bear sudden change Of atmosphere
