April Is JOHN G. SEEGERS. n,
aB- DR.. schencIs Advises Consumptivcs
to go to Florida In IVin,cr.-Iiaying for
the last thirty-fivo years devoted my whole
time and attention to tho study of lung tlis-
eases and consumption, feol that under
stand fully the course that ought to DO pur.
sued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased
lungs to healthy soundnoss. The first and
most important step is for tho patient to
avoid taking cold, md tho best of all placcs
on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is Florida, we'll down in the State, where tho
temperature ia regular aud not subject to
such variations as in more Northern attitudes
tt paiatka a. is point can recommend. A good
hotel is kept there by Poterman. Last win
ter saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who, under tho
healing influence Of tho climate and my mcdi-
cines, wero getting we'll. H
Ono hundred miles further down tho river
is point which would prefer to Palatka, as
tho temperature is moro even and the mir dry
and hracing. Mollonville and Enterprise nro
located there. should give decided pre-
florence to Mcllonvillo. 1t is two miles from
river or lake. and it seems almost impossible
to take cold thero. Tho tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain ut
times, but that ls good sign, rs il indicates
a roturn of appetite, and when this is the case
they generally increase in flesh, and then the
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and
many other places i'll various parts of Florida
can bo safely recommended to consumptiyes
in winter. My reasons for saying 80 are that
patients arc less liable to take cold there I'll All
where there is less even Temperatures, and it
is not necessary to say that where consnmp-
tive person exposcs himself to frequent colds.
he zig certain to die shortly. Therefore, my
advice ls, so we'll down into tho State out OF
the reach Of prevailing East winds and fogs.
JacksonviIle, or almost any other of the To-
calities have named, will benefit those who
are troubled with torpid liver, a disordered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs arc diseased
= more Southern point is earnestly rcQom-
mended.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profes.
sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where saw and ex-
amlned on IN average five hundred patients q
week. A practice SO extensive, embracing
bled me to understand the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a
persor may take vast quantities of 'Schenck's
Pulmonio Syrup, seaweed Tonic and Man
drake Pills." and yet die If he does not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida. noarly everybody Is using
schenok's Mandrake Pills, for tho climate is
more more likely to produce bilious habits than
lished fact that natives Of Florida rarely die
OF consumption, especially those of the South
ern part. On the other hand, in New Eng
land, one.third, at least, Of the population
States it does not prevail go largely, still
there arc many thousands OF cases there.
What vast per centage of life would DO saved
II consumptives wore as easily alarmed in re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they arc about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they are
not. They take what they term little cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe
will wear of in a fow days. They pay nc at
tention to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another STILL until the lungs
are diseased beyond all hope for cure.
MY advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is. to lay i'll stock Of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schcnck's Scaweed
Tonic and Schencks Mandrake Pills and 70
to Florida. recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acuuaint-
cd with their action. know that where they
are used in strict accordance with my drec-
tions, they will do the work TINT is required.
This accomplished, nature will do the res.
The physician who prcscribes for cold, co,lsl,
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
TO walk or ride out every day, will tc sure to
have torpsa OIL his bantls before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with tho printed directions, tx
cept i'll some cases where Il frecr use OF the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. Ny object is q
give tone TO the Btomach-tO get up a good
appetite. 1t il always n good sign when a
patient begins to grow hungry. ] have hopes
OF such. With n relish for food and the
qualification OF that relish comes good blood.
and with it more flesh, which is closely fol.
lowed by healing OF the lnnGs. Then the
cough lOosens and aDates, the creeping ciil,s
| and clamrhy nightswnats no longer prOsirate
and annoy, and the patient gets well, proyid-
cd hc avoids taking cole.
NOW there are many c0nsum,tivcs who have
not tho means to 60 to Florida. The q acs,i n
may be asked, ls thcro 10 hope ior sucl?
Certainly there is. My advice 10 such is. and
ever has been, TO etay i'll Il warm room during
the winter, With temperature Ut a;ont
seventy. degrees, which should be kept
regularly NJ that point, by means o. Il tier

OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undlspnted on record that Schcnck's puImn-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Stawocd ionic
have cured very many Of what seemed 10 be
hopeless cases OF consumption Co where
ynn will, you will b. ulmost certain to find
some poor coilsnmpiivc who has been rescued

SO far as the Mandrake Pills arc concerned.
