on this continent for this purpose in winter,

the temperature is more even and the air dry
and braciug. Mellonville aud Enterprise are
located there. I should give decided pre-
ference to Mellonyille. 1t is two miles from
to tako cold there. Tho tables in Florida
might bo better, and patients complain at
times, but that Is good sign, as it indicates
return OF appetite, and when this is the cas-

Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and
many other places i'll various parts of Florida,
can bo safely recommended to consumptivcs
in winter. My reasons for say ing so are that
patients are less liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature, and it
is not necessary to say that where consump-
tive person exposes hmsclf to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly. Therefore. my
advice is. SO we'll down into the State, cut Of

States it does not prevail largely, still
there are many thousands Of cases there.
What a vast per centagc of life would be saved
if consumptives were easily alarmed in re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they are
not. They take what they term little cold,
which they arc credulous enough to believe
will wear of in a few days. They pay no at
tention to it, and hence it lnys the foundation
for another and another still, until the lungs
arc diseaaed beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in stock of
Schenck's Pulnonic Syrup, Schcnck's Scawced
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida. l recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-

NOW there arc many ycOnsumptives who have
not the means to 80 to Florida. hequestion
may be asked, is there no hope for such?
Certainly there is My advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
the winter. with temperature, of about

regularly at that point, by means of a thcr-
mometer. Let such patient take his ex.
ercise within the limits OF the room by walk
ing up and down as much as his strength will
permit, in order to keep mp healthy circula-
tion of the blood. I have cured thousands
by this system, and can do so again. Com
sumption is as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputed on record that Schenck's Pumo-
mic Syrup Mandrake Pills, and Scaweed Tonic
have cured very many of what seemed to be
hopeless cases Of consumption. Go where
you will, You will bo almost certain to find
some poor consumptive who has been rescued
from the very jaws of death by their use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep a supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than Gallo.
