nR. SCHENCK ADVISES CON-
- SUMPTIVES TO GO TO FLORIDA IN

- suMPTIvEs TO 60 TO FLORIDA IN
Having for the last thirty-five years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study of
lung diseases and consumption, feel that un.
to restore tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
To healthy soundness. The first and most inn
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
and not subject to such variations as in more
Northern latitudes. Palatka is point can re-

under the healing influence of the climate and
my medicines were getting well.
one hundred miles further down the liver is a
point which would prefer to paatka, AS the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracng Mellonville and Enterprise are located
there. 1 should give decided preference to
Mellonvll!e. 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables in Florida might be better,
and patients complain at times but that is n good
sign, AS it indicates a return of appetite, and
wnen this is the case they generally Increase in
flesh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many
other places In various parts of Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives in winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
less even temperature, and 1t is not necessary
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
winds and logs. Jacksonville, or almost any

In Florida nearly everybody Is using Schenck' $
