tUlerably bad case Of diseased lungs to healthy

for the patient 10 avoid taking cold; and the best
of all pIuces on this continent for this purpose In

sons there whose lungs had been badly diseased but
VIII, under the healing influence of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles farther down the river is a
point which would prefer to Palatka as the tenn
peraturc is more even, and the air dry and bracng
Mcllonville and Enterprise are located there. L
is two miles from river or lake, and tseems almost
impOssbleto take cold there. The tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain at times
but that Is GOOD sign, as 1t indicates return OF
appetite and when this is the case, they generally
increase in flesh, and then the lungs must heal.

other places in various parts of Florida be safe

for saying are, that patients less liza
bic to take cold there than where there is a less
even temperature; and it is not necessary to say,
that, where Consumpt tive 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 prevailing east winds and togs

taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using schencks
Mandrake Pills; for the climate is more likely
to produce bilious habits than more northern latl
tudcs. 1t is well-established fact, that natives
Of Florida rarely die of consumption, especially
those Of the southern part. On the other hand, in

lhey are credulouS enough to believe will wear Off
in a few days. They pay no attention to it, and
hence it lays the foundation for another and

even slightly, is to lay in stock Of Schenck Pull
