most important step is for the patient 10 AVOID
taking cold. aud the best Of oil pl7ces on this
continent for this purpose in UiuIer, is FLORIDA,
well down III the State. where tie temperature
is regular, and no! subject 10 such variations as
in m re Northern latl udes. Pala;ka is point

there whose lungs had been badly diseased, but
who Under The healing influence Of The climate
and my medicines, were getting well.
OGe hundred miles further down The river is

temperature is mere even and the air dry and
bracing. MellonviIis and Enterprise are loca-

good sign, as 1t indicates return ofapPeule. and
when this is the case they eeneral!o increase IN

ober PLACES IN various parts OF FLORIDA, can he

Ny reasons for saying 30 are tha! patients
arc ess liable 10 take cold there than
where there is a less even temperau ure
and il is rot necessary to say that con-
sumptive person exposes himself 10 frequent
colds no is certain TO die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, go well down into the State out
Of The reach o, prevailing east winds and fOgs.
Jacksonville, and almost any other OF the local

stomach, dcrauged bowels, s1re throat or cough,

Schenck's Mandrake FILLS, for the climate Is
more likely TO produce bilious habits than more
northern latitude. 1t is e well established fact
that natives oil Florida rarely die OF consumption
especially those Of TIE southern port On the
I olher hand in New England, one third, at least
of the population die OF tbs terrible disease. In
The MiJdis States il does not prevail so largely,
still there are many thousands OF cases there.

take what they term liuIe cold, which they rre
credulous enough to believe will wear OF IN a

hence ii lays the foundation ior another and

My plan is 10 give my three medicines, in &c.
cordance with my printed directions, except IN

provided he avoids taking cold
Now there tire many conSumptlvcs whu have
moi the means 10 go Florida. tie question may
be asked, is there 10 hope for such. CertaInly
there is. Ny advice ty such is, and ever has
| been, 10 stay in warm room durlDg the winter,
with temperature Of about seventy degrees,

ca If it is taken in time and the proper kind OF
treatment pursued. The fact stands undis'
puted on record that Schenck's PulmonIc Syrup
Mandrake Pills and Seas eed Tonic have cured
very many of what seemed 10 be hopeless cases
of cons umplion. 90 where you will, you will
be slmcst certain 10 find some poor cousunplIve
who as been rescued from The very jaws CT
death bv their use.
so far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
! everybody shoJld keep supply OF them on
hand. Thay act on the liver better ;haE cso-
Le. ard leave none ofits hur,ful effects behind.
In fact iheS are excellent IN all cases where a
purgdilye med cine is required. II you have
