IhR. SCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME
IL TivES TO 60 &c FLORIDAm WINTER.
/ Having for the last thirty five wears devoted
| my whole time and attention 10 the duty Of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that1 under-
! stand fully the course that ought to be pursued
to restore 4 tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
to healthy soundness. The first and most impor.
tant step is for the patient to avoid taxing cold,
and the best of all places this con tinent for ts
purpose in winter, is Florida, well dow n in the
State, where the temperature is regular, and not
| subject to such variations in more Northern
| latitudes. Palatki is point can recommend
| A good hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last
| winter saw several persons there whose lungs
| had been badly diseased, but who, under the
| healing influence of the climate and my medi-
| cines, were getting well.
| One hundred miles further down the river 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
| there / should give decided preference to
Mellonville 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there
The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
tients complain at times but that is good sign,
as it indicates return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
| and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and ma
ny other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to consum ptives in
winter My reasons for saying so are that patients
is less temperature, and it is not necessary
to say that where consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds. he is certain to die short
ly Therefore my advice is, go well down into
the State out of reach OF prevailing east winds
and fogs jacksonville, or almost any other of
the localities have named. will benefit those
who are troubled with torpid river, disorder
ed stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased
| more southern point is earnestly recomm ended.
For fifteen years prior to 1852 was profes-
siona lily in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where l saw and ex,
amined on an average five hundred patients e
week practice exten sve, embracing every
possible phase of lung disease has enabled me to
| understand the disease fully, and hence, my eau
| ton in regard to taking cold A person may take
vast quantities of ''Schencks Pumonic syrup
seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. and yet dl
| if he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck
| Medicines, especially Schenck's Mandrake Pills,
| for he climate is more likely to produce bilious
habits than more northern ATTITUDES 1t is well
established fact that natives of Florida rarely
die OF consumption, especially those of the south
ern part On the other hand, in New England,
one-third, at least, of the population die Of this
prevail as largely, still there many thousands
of cases there What vast percentage of life
| would be saved if consumptives as easily
ARMED il regard to taking fresh cold they
|
are not They take what they term little cold
| which they are credu lous enough to believe
| wear Off in few days. They pay attention
to it, and hence it Laws the founda ton for another
| and another still, until the lungs are diseased
| beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in q stock of Schenck's
| Pulmonic Syrup, Schenk's Seaweed Tonic and
Schenk's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. !
recommend these particular medicines because
1 Al oh u cd x.,,b f,o.r
know tina where they used in strict &C
cordance with my directions they will do the
work that is required. This accomplished, ma
ture W i'll do the rest The physician who per-
scribes for cold, cough or night swcats, and then
advises the patient to walk or ride out every
day, will be sure to have corpse ON h,s hands
before long.
Ny plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cor dance with the printed direc tons, except in
some cases where freer use of the mandrake
Pills is necessary. My OBJ ject is to give tone to
tie stomach-to get up good appetite. 1t is
always good sign when patient begins to
errow hungry. l have hopes of such. With a
glish for rood and the qualification of that rel
ish comes good blood, and with it more flesh,
which is closely followed by healing of the
lungs. Then the cough ioosens and abates, the
creeping chills and clammy night-sweats ne
longer PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient gets
well, provided he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many oonsumptives who have
not the means to 60 to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such! Ger
tainly there is. My advice to such Is, and every
has been, to stay in warm room during winter
with temperature of about seventy degrees
which should be kept regular at point, b,
means of thermometer Let such a patient
take his exercise within the limits of the room
by walking up and down as much as his strength
will permit in order to keep up healthy circH
lation of the blood. l have cured thousands by
this system, and can do so again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other disease ii it i,
taken in time, and the proper kind of treatment
is pursued The fact stands undisputed rec
ord that Schenk's Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very man,
| of what seemed to be hopeless cases o consump-
ton. Go where you will, you will be almost
certa in to find some poor consumptive who has
been cured from the very jaws of death by their
use.
So far the Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep supply of them Oh
hand. They act on the liver better than Gallo
mel, and leave none of its hurttul effects behind
In fact they are excellent in all where
purga tive medicine is required. Ii you have
; partaken too freely Of fruit and diarrhoea en-
sues, a dose of Mandrake will cure you. If you
are subject to sick headache, take dose Of rht
Mandrakes and they will relieve you in two
! hours. Ii you would obv late the effect Of
change of water, or too free indulgence in fruit
take one Of the Mandrakes every night, and you
pears, apples, plums, peaches, corn without
risk FLEEING made sick by them. They will
protect those who live in damp situations agains
chills and fevers. Try them, they are perfectly
harmless. They can do good only. l have
abandoned my professional visitst" Boston &NeN
York, but continue to see patients at my office

wish thorough examination with Respirometel
will be charged five dollars. The Respi rometer
declares the exact condition of the lungs, ant
patients readily learn whether they are cur
able or not. But desire it distinctly under
stood that the value of my medicines depends
entirely upon their being taken strictly accord
ing to directions.
In conc fusion, W i'll say that when persons
take my medicines and their systemsare brough
into a healthy condition hereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, yet one will
diseased lungs can bear sudden change OF at
mosphere without the liability of greater OIL
less irritation of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany my
medicines, SO explicit and clear that any one cal
use them without consulting me, and can b.
bought from any druggist.
