Having for the last thlrty-nvc years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study OF
lung diseases and consumption, feel that un,
derstand fully the course that ought to pursued
10 restore tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
TO healthy soundness. The first and most Inn
portant step is for the patient to avoid taking
cold and the best of all places on this continent
in the State where the temperature is regular,
and not subject to such variations as IN more
Northern latitudes Palatka isa point can re-.
man. Last winter saw several persons there
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
under the healing inliuence OF the climate ana
my medicines, were getting WELL
One hundred miles further down the liver Is a
point which would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing, Mellonville and Enterprise are located
Mellonyile. IL Is two miles from river or lake.

MY reasons for saying so are That patients are
less liable TO take cold there than where there Is
less even temperature, and IL Is not necessary
70 say thnt where aconsumptive person exposes
himself To- frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice Is, go well down
into the State out of the reach Of pervading east
winds and iogs. Jacksonville, or almost any
otner OF the localities have named VIII Dene-
NJ those who are troubled with torpid liver,
ulsoruered stomach, deranged bowels, sore
throat or cough, but for those whose lungs ar
diseased a more southern point Is earnestly re
commended.
For fifteen years prior to 1862 was profession

practice so extensive, embracing every possible
phase OF lung disease, has enabled me to under
stand the disease fully, and hence, my caution

In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schencks
Mandrake pils, for the climate is more likely TO
produce bilious habits than more northern latl-
tudes. 1t is u well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die OF consumption, especially
those SEQ OF the southern partr on me other % nan1,
laton die of this terrible disease. In the Mldle
| states II does not prevail SO largely sun There
are many thousands of cases there. What n vast
percentage of life would be saved II cohs imp
tives we've AS easily alarmed in regard TO taking
fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, smal
pox, &c. But they are not. They take what Ihey
term little cold, which they are eredulous
They pay no attention to 1t, and hence it lays
the foundation for another and another sun,
until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope ior
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay IN a stock OF Schgnek
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. l

cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day, VIII

My plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where "a freer use of the Mandrake
Pills Is necessary. My object is to give tone to
the stomach-to get up "a good appetite. 1t is al

Now there are many consumptives who have |
not the means to go to Florida. The question |
tainly there is. Ny advice to such is, and ever
has been, To stay in warm room during the |

Mandrake Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured
We very many o. what seemed to be hopeless cases
OF consumption. Go where you Will, you will be
almost certain to find some poor consumptiye

SO far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply of them on

fact they are excellent in all cases where a pur-
gative medicine is required. If you have par

one OF the Mandrakes every night or every oiher
night, and you may then drink water and eat
