ADVISES CONSUMPTIVES
TO GO TO
FLORIDA IN WINTER.

Having for the last thirty.fv years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study OF
lung diseases and consumption, feel that
understand fully The course that ought - be pur-
sued TO restore toerably bad case Of diseased
lungs TO healthy soundness. The fr't AID
most important step is for The patient 10 avoid
taking cold, and the best OF all places on this
continent for this purpose in winter, is Florida,
well down m the State. where the temperature
is regular, and not subject 10 such variations as
in m re Northern latI udeS. Pals.ka is point
can rccomend. A good hotel is kept there by
PeterDan. Last winter law several persons
there whose lungs had been badly diseased, but
who under the healing influence Of the climate
and my medicines, were getting well.

temperature is more even and the air dry aud

TO Mellonvlle. Ii is two miles from river or

cold there. The tables in Florida might be bet.

Jacksonville, II HIbernia, Green Cove, and many
o,ber places 10 various paris Of Florida, can be
safely recommended TO consumptlves IN winter.
My reasons for saying SO are that patients
arc less liable to take cold there than
where there is less even lempera' ure
and It is rot necessary to say that con.
sumptive person exposes himself to frequent
colds bo is certain to die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, 90 well down into the State out

are taorbed with torpid liver, a disordered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or cough,

Ia Florida, nearly everybody is usin5
Schenck's Mandrake Fills, for the climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than more
northern latitude. 1t is well established fact
that natives of Florida rarely die Of consumption
especially bose OF the southern part. On the
olher hand in New England one third, at least /,
of the population die Of this terrible disease. In
the Middle States it does not prevail SO largely,

to taking fresh cold as they are about scarlet

take what they term little cold, which they ere
creduous enough to believe will wear of IN a
few days. They pay no attention to 1t, and
hence it lays the Foundation Tor another and

all hope for cure.
