Having ior the last thirty.nvc years devoted

My reasons for saying so are That patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there Is
less even temperature, and II is not necessary
To say that where n consumptivo 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 pervadng east

term little cold, which they are crcduluuS
enough to believe will wear oil in u few days.
They pay no attention to it, and hence it lays
the foundation tOr another and another stlll,
until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope Tor
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in Il stock OF SchencNs

My plan is TO give my three medicines, in nc

| Now there are many consumptyes who have
not the means to go to Florida, The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger

thousands by this system, and can do so again.
Consumption is as easily cured as any other dis
ease II II is taken in time, and the proper kind
of treatment is pursued. The fact stands unds-
puted on record that SchenclI's Pulmonic syrup,
Mandrake PMS, and Seaweed 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
VINO has been rescued from the vey jaws OF death
by their use.
eNerybOdy should keep supply OF them on
hand. They act ON the liver better than calomel
and leave none of its hurtiul effects behind In
fact they ARE excellent in all cases where pur-
gutive medicine Is required. If you have par
taken too freely of fruit and diarrhpa enSues Il
dose OF the Mandrakes will cure ycu. If you'are
subject to sick headache, take u dose of the Man
brakes and they will relieve You in two hours.
| II you would obvlate the effect OF n change OF
water, or the too free indulgence in fruit take
one of the MandralSes every night or every Oihor
night, and you may then drink water and eat
watermclons, pears, apples, plums, peaches or
corn, without the risk OF being made sick by
them. They Will protect those who live in damn

The Res promoter declares the exact condition
whether they are curuble or not. But desire 1t
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 systems are brought
into II healthy condition thereby, they are not
so liable to take cold, Yet no one with diseased
lungs can bear Il 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 amy druggist.
