a moro Southern point is earnestly recon-
mended
For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profes.
sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
| Philadelphia every week, where l saw and ex-
| amined on All average five hundred pstl nts a
week. practice 80 extensive, embracing
! every possible phase OF lung disease, has ena-
blcd mo to understand the disease fully, aud
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast qua ntities If "Schenck's
| Pulmonic Syrup, Seuwccd Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yet die if he does not avoid
! taking cold.
In Florida. nearly everybody is using
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Tor the c innate is
moro likely 10 produce bilious habits than
more Northern latitudes. I, is well est..b-
lished fact that natives of Florida rarely die
OF consumption, especially those of the South
ern part. On tho other hand, in New Eng
land, one third, at least, OF the population

States it does not prevail so largely. still
there are many thousands of cares there.

will wear off in few days. They pay no at
| tention to it., and hence it lays the foundation
| for another and another still, rntil the lungs
ar. diseased beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in a stock OF
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Seaweed
| Tonic and Schenck's Mandi axe Pills and go
to Florida: recommend theeo particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
cd with their action. know that wliel e they
/ arc used in strict accordance with my direc-
tions, they will do the work that is required.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
| The physician who prtscribcs for cold, cough
or niEht-sweats, and then advises the patient
to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to
have orpse on his hands before long:
| My plan is to givo my three medicines, in
accordance with tho printed directions, t1-
cept i'll some cases where fretr use of the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object IL to
give tone to the stomach-to get up a good
appetite. 1t is always good Sign when a
| patient begins to grow hungry. have hopes
of such. With relish for food and the
| gratlhcation OF that relish comes good bloOd,
| lowed by healing OF the lungs. Then the
cough loose ns and ahat,s, the creeping chilIs
and clamniy night-sweats no longer prostrate
| and annoy, ana the patient gcts well proVid-
| ed he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many cnnsumpiivcs who havo
not the means to go to Florida. Thequestion
may be asked, is therc no hope tor such?
Certainly there ia. My advice to such liz. and
ever has bcen to stay in warm room during
tue winter, with temperature OF about
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means Of ther-
| moneter. Let such patient take hls tX
erciso within the limits of tho room by walk
ing up and down as much as his strength will
permit, in order to keep up healthy circula-
tion Of tho blood. have cured thousands

sumption Id easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. Tho fact stands
undisputed on record that Scbcncks Pulmo-
mic syrup, Mandrake Fila, and Seaweed i ionic
have cured very many Of what seemed to be
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where
you will, yuu will br almost certain to find
some poor comsnmptive who has heen rescued
from the very jaws of death by their use.
