patients nro less liable to take cold there than
where there is less oven temperature, and it

My advice to persons whose lungs are

Now there are many cnnsnmptivcs who have
not the means TO go to Florida. The u,ston
may be asked, is there no hope ior sucl?
Certainly there Id. My advice 10 such is. and
ever has been, to stay i'll a warm room during
the winter, with temperature of aluui
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means OF q thcr
mumeter. Let such patient take his t1.

so far as the Mandrake Pills arc concerned,
everybody should keep a supply OF them on

you have partaken too freely OF fruit and

would obviate tho effect Of change OF water,
or the too free indulgence in fruit, take
