nR. SCHENCK ADVISES CON.
- SUMPrINES TO 60 TO FLORIDA IN


Having for the last thirty.nve 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
to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
to healthy soundness. The first and most i'm
cold, and the best OF nll places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, wei down
in the state, where the temperature Is regular,
nnd not subject to such variations as IN more
Northern latitudes. Palatko Is u point | can re-
commend. A good hotel is kept there by Peter
man. Last winter saw several persons there
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
my medicines, were getting well.
one hundred miles further down the liver Is
point which would prefer to Palatka ns the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing Mellonvllle and Enterprise are located
Meonville. 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and II seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables in Florida might be better,
aud patients complain at times but that is good
sign, as Il indicates return Of appetite, ana ia
flesh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, llibernia, Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida, can he
safely recommended to consumptives In winter
My reasons for saying SO are that patients are
less liable TO take cold there than where there Is
u less even temperature, and 1t Is not necessary
TO say that where a consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he Is certain TO die
shortly. Therefore my advice is 20 well down
into the State out of the reach of pervoding east
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities have named, Will bene-

dclphia every week. where saw and examined
on AN average i've hundred patients week.. A
practice so extensive, embracing every possible
phase of lung disease has enabled me To under
stand the disease fully, and hence, my caution
in regard to taking cold. a person may take
vast quantities of "Schenck's Pulmonic syrup,
SeawUed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, and yet
die If he does not avoid taking cold. ,.-
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck s
Mandrake Pills. for the climate is more likely to
iudes IL is n we'll established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die OF consumption, especially
those OF the southern part. ON the other hand
in New Ehglsnd, one-third, at least, of the peopu-
l0tion die of this terrible disease. the Mid
States 1t does not prevail 80 largely II there
are many thousands of cases there. What vast
percentage of life would be saved If cohs imp
tiVes were as easily alarmed in regard to taking
fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever small

term II little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear OIL in few days.
they pay no attention TO It, ana hence IL lays
until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope for

Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. l

know that where they are used in strict accord
anco with my directions they wall do the work
that Is required. This accomplished, nature Will
do the rest. The physician who prescribes for
cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day, will
be sure to have IL corpse on his hands before
long.
My plan is to give my three medicines in ac-
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where n 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

closely followed by a healing of the lungs. Then
the cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills

he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptves who have
not the means to 20 to Florida. The question
may be asked is there no hope for such? Cer-
has been, to stay in II warm room during the
winter, with temperature of about seventy de-
grees, which should be kept regularly at that
point. by means OF n thermometer Let such n

room by walking up and down as much as his

thousands by this system, and can do so again.
Consnmptio1 is as easily cured as any other dis:
ease II II is taBen In time, and the proper kind
of treatment is pursued. The fact stands undis-
puted on record that Schenck's s Pumonic Syrup,
Mandrake Pills, and Seawecd Tonic have cured
very many OF what seemed to be hopeless cases
OF consumption. Go where you will, you will be
almost certain TO find some poor consumptive
who has been rescued from the vey jaws OF death
by their use.
SO far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should Keep n supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calomel
and leave none of its hurtful effects behind In
fact they are excellent in all cases where n pur-
gative medicine is required. If you have par
taken too freely OF iruit and diarrhoea ensues,

subject to sick headache, take dose of the Man.

II you would obviate the effect of a change of
water, or the too free indulgence in fruit, take
one of the Mandrakes every night or every oher
night, and you may then drink water and eat
watermelons, pears, apples, plums peaches or
corn, without the risk of being made sick by
them. They Will protect those who live in damp

| have abandoned my professional visits to Bos-

at my office, No is n. SIXTH Street, Philadel-

Those Who wish thorough examination with
the Respirometer Will be charged five dollars
The Respirometer dec ares the exact condition
of the lungs, and patients can readily learn
whether they are durable or not. But desire IL
distinctly understand that the value of my
medicines depends entirely upon their being
taken strictly according to directions.
In conclusion, will say that when persons
take my medicines and their sy ystems are brought
into healthy condition thereby they are not
so liable to take cold, yet no one with diseased
lungs can bear sudden change of atmosphere
without the liability OF greater or less irritation
of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany
my medicines, so explicit and clear that any
one can use them without consulting me, and
can be bought from any druggist.
