nR SCHENCK ADVISES CON-
-, ~ suMPTlvEs 10 60 TO FLORIDA IN
Having for the last thirty.nvo years devoted
my whole time and attention To the study Of
lung diseases and consumption, feel that I'm.
dersiand fully the course that ought to pursued
To restore tolerably bad case OF diseased lungs
to healthy soundness. The first and most I'M
por,ant step Is for the patient TO avoid t,a;isln{
for this purpose In winter. Is Florida, well down

Northern latitudes. Palatka is n point can re.

whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
under the healing influence of the climate anu
my medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the liver is n

Jacksonville, Hibernia Green Cove and many
other places in various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives IN winter.
MY reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than whore there is
less even temperature, and 1t is not necessary
| TO say that where consumptive person exposes
| himself to frequent colds he is certain to die
| shortly. Therefore my advice Is, go well down
into the State out Of tue reach OF pervading cast
| winds and fogs. Jacksonville or almost any
| other of the localities have named, Will bene-
| Mt those who are troubled with torpid liver,
disordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore

diseased q more southern point is earnestly re

| practice so extensive, embracing every possible

| in regard to taking cold. A person may take
| Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills." and yet
die If he docs not avoid taking cold.
| In Floridauearly everybody is using Schencis
Mandrake Pills, for the climate Is more likely TO
i produce bilious habits than more northern lati-
| tudes. 1t is well established fact that natives
| OF Florida rarely die OF consumption, especlhlly
| those OF the southern part ON the other manu-,

| They pay no attention TO 1t, ana hence IL lays
the foundation for another and another sun,

My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in a stock OF Schencks

My plan is to give my three medicines, In ac-
