DIR. SCHENCK advises Consumptives
to 20 to Florida in Winter.

nv whole time and attention to the study o
lung diseases and consumption, l feel that
understand fully the course that ought to On
pursued to restore tolerably bad case OF dis
eased lungs to healthy sOundness. The first
and most important step is for the patient tc
avoid taking cold, and the best of all places on
this continent for this purpose in winter, Is tlori'
da, well down in this State, where the temper
AZURE is regular, and not subject to such varla-
tions as in more Northern latitude, Palatka Is
point l can recommend. A good hotel IL kept
there by Petermau. Last winter saw several
persons there whose lungs had been badly us,
ased. but who, under the healing influence oil
the climate and my medicines, were getting
well.
One hundred miles further down the river is
a point which would prefer to Palatka, as tia
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing Mellonvile and Enterprise are loca-
ted there. The tables in Florida might be
better, and patients complain at times but that
is good sign, as it indicates return OF appe'
tite, 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 be safely recommended to consumptivet
in winter. My reasons for saying so are that
patients are less liable TO take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature, and
il is not necessary to say that where con-
sumptive person exposes himself TO frequent
colds he is certain to die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, go well down into the State out Of
the reach of prevailing east winds and logs
Jacksonville, or almost any other of the local.
ties have named, will benefit those who are
troubled with torpid liver, disordered stom-
ach, deranged bowels, sore throat or cough, but

southern point is earnestly recommended.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profess
ionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where ! saw aud ex-
amined on anaverage, five hundred patients
week. A practice so extensive, embracing
every possible phase of lung disease, has
enabled me to understand the disease fully, and
hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities OF "Schencki
Pulmonic Syrup Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills" and yet die if he does not avoid taking
cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, for the climate II
more likely to produce bilious habits than more
northern latiudes. 1t is a well established
fact that natives of Florida rarely die OF con
sumption, especially those of the southern
part. On the other hand, in New England one
third, at least, of the population die OF this ter
rible disease In the middle States 1t does
not prevail so largely, still there are many
thousands of cases there. What vast percen-
tagc OF life would be saved if cosumptlves
were as easily alarmed inregard to taking fresh
cold as they are about scarlet fever, small pox,
&c. But they are not. They take what they
term a little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear off in few days
They pay no attention to it, and hence II
laws the foundation for another and another
still. until the lungs are diseased beyond all
hope for cure.
NV advice to persons whose lungs are atfec-
ted even slightly is. to lay in a stock oi
Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup Schenck's Sea-
weed Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
go to Florida. recommend these particular
medicines because / am thoroughly acqualn'
ted with their action. | know that when
they are used in strict accordance with my di-
rections they will do the rest. The physician
who prescrbes for cold, cough or night-sweats
and then advises the patient to walk or ride
out every day, WILDE sure TO have corpse 0n
his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines In &C
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where a freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone
to the stomach-to get up good appetite II
is always good sign when patient begins
to grow hungry. ! have hopes ofsuch With
a relish for food and the qualification OF that
relish comes good blood, and with it more flesh,
which is closely followed by a healing OF the
lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates,
the creeping chlls andclammy night-sweats
no longer PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient
gets well, provided he avoids takngcold.
Now there are many consumptives who have
not the means to go TO Florida. The duesuo.
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 ofabout seventy
degrees, which should be kept regularly at
that point by means of thermometer. Let
such a patient take his exercise within the
limits Of the room by walking up and down as
much as his strength will permit. in order to
keep up healthy circulation of the blood
have cured thousands by this system. and can
do so again Consumption is as easily cured
as any other disease if it is taken in time, and
the proper kind of treatment is pursued. The
fact stands uudisputed on record that Schsnck
Pulm onic Syrup, Mandrake Pills and Sea
weed Tonic have cured very many of what
seemed to be hopeless cases of consumption
Go where you will, you will be almost certain
to find some poor consumptive who has beer
rescued from the very jaws Of death by then
use.
So far rs 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 hurtfu effects be
hind: In fact they are excellent in all casef
where a purgative medicine is required. Il
YOU have parta!:en too freely of fruit and dia
rrhea ensues, dose of the Mandrakes vii

change of water, or the too free Indulgence IN
fruit, take Que Of the Mandrakes every night
or every other night, and you may then drink
water aud eat watermelons pears, apples
plums, peaches OF corn, without the risk oil
being made sick by them. They will protect
those who live in damp situations against
chills and fevers Try them. They are per
tsctly harmless They can do you good only
/ have abandoned my professional visits 10
Boston and New York, but continue to see pa
TENTS at my office, No. Is n. SIXTH Street,
Philadelphia, every Saturday, from A. ". to
BPM. Those who wish thorough examina-
ton with the Respirome ter will be charged hive
dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact
condition Of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are durable or not But
desire it distinctly understood that the value Of
my medicines depends entirely upon their being
taken strictly according to directions.
In conclusion will say that when persons
take nv medicines and their systems are
brought into a healthy condition thereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, yet no one with
diseased lungs cen bear sudden change Of at
mosphere without the liability Ofgreater or less
irritation of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany
my medicines, so explicit and clear that any one
can use them without consulting me, and car
be bought from any druggist.
