on this continent for this purpose in winter,
Is Florida, we'll down in the State, where the

One hundred miles further down tho river
is point which I would prefer to Palatka, as
tho temperature ia more even and the air dry
and bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are
located there. l should give decided pre-
ference to Melonville. 1t is two miles from
river or lake, and it seems almost impossible
to tako cold thero. The tables i'll Florida
might be better, and patients complain at
a 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
many other places in various parts of Florida,
can DO safely recommended to coMsumptives
in winter. My reaeone for saying so are that
patients are less liable to take cold there than
where there is q less even temperature, and it
s not necessary to say that where n consump-
two person exposes himself to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly. Therefore, my
advice is, 60 we'll down into tho State cut OF
the reach Of prevailing East winds and fogs.
Jacksonville, or almost any other Of the To-
calities have named, will benefit those who
are troubled with torpid liver, disordered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased
a more Southern point is earnestly recon-
monded.
For fifteen years prior to 1869. I was profes.

more likely TO produce bilious habits than
moro Northern latitudes. It is we'll estab-
lished fact that natives of Florida rarely die
| OF consumption, especially those of the South

land, ne-third, at least, of the population
die of this terrible disease. In tho Middle
States it does not prevail so largely, still
thero arc many thousands of cases there.

il consumptives were easily alarmed in re-
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c But they are
not. They take what they term little cold,
which they are crcduous enough to believe
will wear off in a few days. They pay no at

for another and another still, until the lungs
are diseased beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are

accordance with the printed directions, ex-
cept in some cases where freer use Of the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give tone to tho stomach-to get up good

OF such. With relish for food and the
qualification Of that relish comes good blood,
lowed by healing OF the lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chlls

I'd he avoids taking cold.
Now there arc many consumptiycs who have
not the means to go to Florida. Thequestion
may be asked. is there, no hope for such?
Certainly there is. My advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
the winter, with temperature of about
seventy degrees, which should be kept

by this system, and can do 30 again. Con-
sumption is as easily cured az any other
disease, if takap in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment Is pursued. The fact stands
undisputed on record that Schcnck's Puimo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Seawccd Tonic
have cured very many OF what eemcd 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 very jaws Of death by their use.
So far az tho Mandrake Pills arc concerned,
everybody should keep supply OF them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calo.

hind. In fact. they are excellent in all cases
