The last thirty-hve years devoted my whole
time and attention to tho study OF lung dis
e4see and consumption, feel T. at under
stAnd fully tho course that ought to bo pur-
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and
most important step iB for the patient to
avoid taking GELD, and :he bee: CT g! places
on this continent for this purpose in winter
is Florida, woll down in tho State, where the
temperature is regular, and not subject to
such variations ae in more Northern latitudes.
Falatka is point can recommend. A good
hotel is kept thcro by Pcterman. Last win
tor saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who undor tho
healing influence of tho climate and my medi-
cines, were getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down the river
is point which would prefer TO Palatka, as
tho temperature is moro even and the mir dry
and bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are
located there, l SHOULD give decided pre-
river or Lake. and it seems almost Impossible
to take cold there. The tables i'll Florida
might bo better, aud patients complain at
times, nnt TINT i good sign & as It indicates ~,
they generally increase i'll flesh, and then the
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, IIibcrnia. Green Cove, and
man: other places in various parts ut Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptives
in winter. My reasons for saying 80 are that
patients arc less liable TO take cold there than
where thcro is u less even temperature, and it
is not necessary to say thatwhero consump-
tive person EXPOSES himsclf to frequent colds,
he is certain to dio shortly. Therefore, my
advice is, go we'll down into tho State. ont ol
ho roach of prevailing East winds and fogs.
Jacksonville, or almost any other or tho 10
calities have named. will benefit those who
arc troubled with torpid liver, disordcred
stomach, deranged bowels, core throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs arc diseased

mendcd.

person may take vast quantities of 'Schcnck's 4

In Florida. nearly everybody is using
Schcncks Mandrake FILLS. for tho Climate is
more likely 10 produce bilious habits than
more Northern latitudce. II is n we'll cstab-
lishcd fact that natiyta OF Florida rarely die
of consumption, especially those of the South
crn purt. On the other hand, in New Eng
land, onc:third, at least. OF the population
States it does not prevail so largely, still
there arc many Thousands of cases there.
What a vast per ctntase of life would be saved
II consnmptives were as easily alarmed in re-
| scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they are
| not. They take what they term little cold
| which they arc crcdulous enough to believe
will wear off in few days. They .pay no at
tcntion to it, and hence it lays the foundation
| for another and another etill, until the lungs
arc daeaacd beyond all hope for cure.
| Ny advice to persons whose. lungs are

! Schenck's PulmoniC Syrup, Sclencks Scawecd

to Florida: recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. know that where they
arc ueed in strict accordance with my dlrcc-
tions, they will do the work that is required.

My plan is TO give my three medicines, i'll
cept in some cases where freer use OF the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to

and with it moro iicsh, which is closely fol-
lowed by healing OF the iungs. Then the
