Is regular and not subject Ia such variations As
IN more Northern ATTITUDES PaiatAa i Il point
can recommend. A good hotel is kept there

sons there whose lungs had been badly diseased,
but " no, under the healing influence Of the cli-
mate and nv medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down :ae river Is
a poin, which would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are ioca-
ted there. should give q decided preference 10
Msllonville II is two miles from river or lake,
and il seems almost impossible to take cold there.
The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
,ients complain a. times bat that is good sign,
as IL indicates a return OF appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal.
jacksonville, lii5erna, Green Cove and many
other places in various parts of Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptiyeS in winter.
My reasons for saying so ara that patients are
less liable 10 take cold there than where there is
less even temperature, and il is not necessary
to say that where couSumptve person exposes
himself 20 frequent colds he is certain 10 die
shortly Therefore nv advice is, go well down
into the State out OF the reach of prevailing east
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other Of the Localities have named, will benefit

Now there arc many consumptivcs who have

So far rs the Mandrake Pills are concerned.
every body should keep a supply Of them on

mel, and leave none of its hurtful effects behind
In fact they are excellent in all cases where q

water or the too free indulgence in fruit, take
one of the Mandrakes every night or every Other
night, and you may then drink water and eat

them. They will protect those who live in damp
