most important stop is for the patient to
avoid taking cold, and the best,of all places
on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is Florida, woll down in the State, where the
temperature Is regular, and not subject to
suoh variations as in more Northern latitudes.

One hundred miles further down the river
is point which would prefer 10 Palutka, as
tho tompcrature is more even and tho air dry

located there. I should give decided pre-
ference to Mellonvillc. 1t is two miles from

to take cold there. Tie tables in Florida

patients aro less liable to take cold there than
whero there is n less even temperature, and it
is not necessary to say that where n consump-
tive person exposes himsclf to frequent colds,
he is certain to dio shortly. Therefore, nv
advice is, go we'll down into the State. cut OF
the reach of prevailing East winds and fogs.

calitics have named. will benefit those who
arc troubled with Il torpid liver, disordercd
stomach, dcranged bowels, soro throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs arc diseased

For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profess
sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where saw and cx-
amincd on an average five hundred patients

every possible phase OF lung disease, has cna-
blcd me to understand tho disease fully, and
hence my caution i'll regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities Of ''Schcnck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Scawecd Tonic and Man
drake Pills, anu yet die if he docs not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using
Schcnclis Mandrake Pills, for the climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than
more Northern ATTITUDES. 1t is we'll estAb-
ished 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
die Of this terrible disease. In tho Middle
States 1T does not prevail go largely, still
there arc many thousands of cases there.

will wear OIL in fow days. They pay no at
tcntion to it, and hence it lays tho foundation
for another and another still, Until the lungs
are diseascd beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in stock of
Schenck's l'ulmonic Syrup, Schenck'a Scawecd
Tonic and Schcnck's Mandrake Pills and 20
to Florida. l recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
cd with their action. know that where they
are used i'll strict accordance with my direc-
tions, they will do the work that is required.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prcscribcs for cold, cough
or night-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 give my three medicines, in
accordance with the printed directions, tx-
ceept in some cases where freer use of the
give tone to tho stomach-to get up good
appetite. 1t is always q good sign when a
patient begins to grow hungry. have hopes
OF such. With relish for food and the
qualification OF that relish comes good blood
and wit it more hesh, which is closely fol-
lowed by a healing OF tho lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills
and clammy night-sweats no longer PROSTATE
and annoy, and the patient gets well, proyid-
ed he avoids taking cold.
Now thcrc arc many consumptivcs who have
not the means to go to Florida. Thcquestion
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
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means of a thcr-
momcter. Let such 4 patient take his ex.
ercise 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-
ton of the blood. have cured thousands
by this system, and can do so again. Con-
sumption is as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment il pursued. Tho fact stands
undispu!cd on record that Schcnck's Pulmo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Seaweed Tonic
have cured very many of what seemed to be
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where
you will, you will be utmost certain to find
some poor consumptivo who has been rescued
from the very jaws of death by their use.
SO far as tho Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep a supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than Gallo.
mel. and leave mono of its hurtful effects be-
hind. In fact they arc excellent in all cases
where a purgative medicine is required II
you have partaken too freely OF fruit and
dlarrhn,a cnsues, a dose OF the Mandrakcs
will cure you. If you arc subject to sick
headache, take duse of tho Mandrakcs and
they will relieve you in two hours If you
would oEviate the effect of q change of water,
or the too FREQ indulgence in fruit, take
one of the Mandrakcs every night or every
other night, and you may then drink watef
and eat watcrmclons. pears, apples. plum.,
peaches or corn, without the risk Of being sick
by them. They will protect those who live in
