4 AR. SCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME
~ TIVES TO 90 TIC FLORIDA IN WINTER.
Having for the last thirty five wears devoted
my whole time and attention to the duty of lung
diseases and CONSUMPTION, feel that under
stand fully the course that ought to be pursued
to restore d tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
to healthy soundness. The first and most impor
tant step Is for the patient to avoid taxing cold
and the best of all places this tinen for tlis
purpose in winter, is Florida, well down in the
State, where the temperature is regular, and not
subject to sucn variations as in more Northern
ATTITUDES. Palatki is peint can recommend
good hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last
winter saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who, under the
healing influence of the climate and my medi-
cines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is a
point which would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are located
there l should give decided preference to
Mellonville 1t is two miles from river 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.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and ma
nv other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptives in
winter My reasons for saying so are that patien is
less liable to take cold there than here there
is less even temperature and it is not necessary
to say that where consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds. he is certain die short
ly Therefore my advice is, 90 we'll down into
the State out of reach of prevailing east winds

the localities L have named, will benefit those
who are troubled with torpid river, a disorder
ed stomach, deranged bowels, throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are disea sed a
more southern point is earnestly recomm ended

In Florida, nearly every body is using Schencks
Medicines, especially Schenck's Mandrake Pills,
for the climate is more likely to produce bilious
| habits than more northern ATTITUDES 1t is well
| established fact that natives of Florida rarely
die of consumption, especially those of the south
ern part On the other hand, in New England,
| one-third at least, OF the population die Of this
terrible disease. In the Middle States it does not
prevail largely, still there are many thousands
of cases there What vast percentage of life
would be saved if consumptves were as easily
ARMED il regard to taking fresh cold as they
|
are not They take what they term little cold
which they are credu lous enough to believe
wear off in few days. They pay no attention
to it, and hence it laws the tounda ton 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 in a stock of Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenk's Seaweed Tonic and
Schenk's Mandrake ills and go to Florida.
recommend these particular medicines because

cordance with my directions they will do the
work that is required. This accomp lished, ma.
ture w ill do the rest. The physician who per-
scribes for cold, cough or night swcats, and then
ad ises the patient to walk or ride out every
day, will be sure to have corpse on his hands
before long.
Ny plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed direc tons, except in
some cases where freer use of the mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is t" give tone to
tie stomach-to get up good appetite. 1t i.

which is closely followed by "a healing of the
| lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates, the

well, provided he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptives who have
not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger
| tainly there is My advice to such Is, and every
has been, to stay in warm room during winter
| with temperature of about seventy degrees
whieh should be kept regular at point, by
means of themome ter. Let such a patient
take his exercise within the limits of the room
| by walking up and down as much as his strength
will per nit, in order to keep up healthy circu
lation ofthe blood. l have cured thousands by
this system, and can do so again Consumption
is as easily cured as any other di sease ii it is
taken in time, and the proper kind Of treatment
| is pursued. The fact stands undisputed on rec
ord that Schenk Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very many
ofwhat seemed to be hopeless of consump
ton. Go where you will, you will be almost
certa in to find some poor consumptive who has
been cured from the very jaws of death by theil
use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than Gallo
MEL and leave none of its hurtful effects behind
In fact they are excellent in all cases where &
purga tive medicine is required. If YOU have
partaken too freely of fruit and diarrhoea en-
sues, dose of Mandrake will cure YOU. If yOr
are subject to sick headache take dose of the
Mandrakes and they will relieve YOU in two
hours lfyou would obv late the effect of a
change fwater, or too free indulgence in fruit
take one of the Mandrakes every night, and you
pears, apples, plpms, peaches, corn without
risk ofbeing made sick by them. They will
protect those who live in damp situations agains
chills and fevers. Try them, they are perfectly
harmless, They can do good only. l have
abandoned my professional vFiststo Boston &New
York, but continue to see patients at my office
No. Is N. SIXTH Street Phiiadelphi ia, every
Saturday, from A. NJ. to p. M. Those who
wish thorough examination with RespirometeI
will be charged five dollars. The Respi rometer
declares the exact condition of the lungs, anG
patients can readily learn whether they are cur
able or not. But | desire it distinctly under
stood that the value of my medicines depends
entirely, npon their being taken strictly accord
ing to directions.
In conc fusion, " i'll say that when person:
take my medicines and their systemsare brough
into healthy condition hereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, yet no one with
diseased lungs can bear sudden change OF at
mosphere 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 car
use them without consulting me, and can be
bought from any druggist.
