InR.. SCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME
IL TIVES TO 60 re FLORIDA IN WINTER.
Having for the last thirty .fxe-years devoted
my wholettime and attention to the duty of lung
diseases and consumption, / feel that l under
| stand fully the course that ought to be pursued
to restore tolerably bad ease of diseased lungs
to healthy soundness. The first and most impor-
tant step is for the patient to avoid taxing cold,
purpose in winter is Florida, we'll down in the
| State, where the!emperature is regular, and not
subject to such variations as in more Northern
| ATTITUDES. Palatki is point recommend.-
good hotel is kept there BY Peterman. Last
winter saw several persons there, whose lungs
| bad been badly diseased, BUT who, under the
Ehealng influence of the climate and my medi-
cines, were getting we'll =. ... ff.
+ One hundred mites further down the river is a.
point which I-weuld prefer to Palatka, as the
| temperature is more even and the air dry and
| bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are located
| there l should give decidedspreference to-
| Mellonyille 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 "a return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
| and then the lungs must heal e.ses
4. Jacksonville, Hbernia, Green Cove, and ma
ny other places in various parts of Florida,
4 can be safely recommended to 1consumptives in
winter Ny reasons for saying SO are that patients
are less liable to take cold there than here there
l
| 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, a disorder
| ed stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are disea sed !

one-third, at least, of the population die Of this
terrible disease. In the Middle States it does not
prevail as largely, still there are many thousands
of cases there What vast percentage of life
would be saved if eonsumptiyes were as easily

wear off in few days. They pay NO attention
to it, and hence itlays the ounda ton for another
and another still, until the lungs are diseased
beyond all hope for cure.
l. My advice TO persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in stock of SchencRs
Pulmonic Syrup, .Schenk's Seaweed Tonic and;
Schenk's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. L
recommend these particular medicines because.
! am thoroughly acquainted with their action.
l know that where they used in strict ac-
lcordaneezwith my directions they will do the
work that is required. This accomp lished, na-
ture will do the rest. The physician who per-
scribes for cold, cough or night sweats, and then
advises the. patient to walk or ride out every
day ,Swill be sure to have "a corpse on his hands
before long. a4s ~ t-!- .-g
Ny plan is to give my three medicines, in .e-
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where freer use of the mandrake
:, Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to
tie stomach-7to get up good appetite. 1t is

which is closely followed bya healing of the
lungs. Then the cough looSens and a6ates II.
creeping chills and clammy night-sweats no
longer PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient qets
i well, provided he avoids taking cold
/ Now there are many consumptves who hav.
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 ever =
has been, to stay in warm room during winter
with temperature of about seventy depre..
which should be kept regular at a point Ly
means of themome ter. Let such a patieSt
, take his exercise within the limits of the rona
u by walking up and down much as his strength
will permit, in. order to keep up ahealthy cirss-
this system, and can do so again. Consunptiob
| Is as easily cured rs any other disease ifit ia
taken in time, and the proper kind of treatment
: is pursued. The fact stands undisputed ou rse-
ord that Schenk' Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic ha We cured very m,uv

ton. Go where you Will, you will be almost
certa in. to. find somepoor eonsumptive who has

So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply. of them os

wish thorough examination with Respirome,sr
will be charged five dollars. The Respi rome, Or

patients can readily learn whether they are GU. :
able or not. But desire it distinctly under

2 In conclusion, i'll say that when persov.
take my medicines and their systemsare brought
into healthy condition hereby, they

diseased lungs can bear sudden change of A.

less irritation of the bronchial tubes.

use them without consulting me, and can be
