most important step is for the patient to
avoid taking cold, and the best OF all places
on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is FLORIDA, vol down in tho State, where the
temperature is regular, and not subject to
such variations as in more Northern latitudee.

they generally increase in flesh, and then the
lungs must heal.

In Floridn. nearly everybody is using
Schenck's Mandrakc Pills, Tor the climate is
more Northern iattudcs. 1t is we'll cstab-
lishcd fact that natives of Florida rarely die
OF consumption. especially those of the South
ern part. On the other hand, in New Eng
land, onc:third, at least, of tho population
die OF this terrible disease. In the Middle
States it does not prevail SO largely, still
there arc many thousands of cases there.
What vast per ctntago of life would be saved
if consumptives were as easily alarmed in re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about

tention to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lungs
are diseaacd beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs arc
affected even slightly is. to lay in stock of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Seawecd
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida. / recommend these particular
medicines because l am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. know that where they
are uscd in strict accordance with my direc-
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prescribos for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises tho 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 tho printed directions, e4-
cept in como cases where freer use of the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give tono to tho stomacll-to got up good
appetite. 1t is always good sign when a
patient begins to grow hungry. have hopes
OF such. With a 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 lupgs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills
and olammy night-sweats no longer prostrate
and annoy, and the patient gets well, proyid-
ed he avoids taking cold.
NOW there are many consumptives who have
not the means to 90 to Florida. Thequestion

Certainly there is. My advice to such is. and
eyer ever has been. to stay in warm room during
tho winter, with a temperature Of about
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means of a ther-
mometer. Let such patient take his ex-
eercise within tho limits'o Of the room by walk
ing up and down as much as his strength will
permit, in order to keep up healthy circnla-
tlon OF the blood. I have cured thousands
by this system, and can do 30 again. Con-
sumption is as 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 schenck's Pumo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Seaweed Tonic
have cured vory many of what seemed to be
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where
you will, you will be almost certain to end
some poor consumptive who has been rescued
from tho very jaws of death by their 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. |

hind. In fact, they arc excellent in all cases |
where purgativo medicine is required If
you have partaken too freely OF fruit and |

will cure you: II you are eubject to sick |
