TO Ko'to Florida in Wlnter.-Having for
the last thirty-6ve years devoted my whole
time and attention to the study OF lung dig
eases and consumption, feel that under
stand fully the course that ought to be pur-
sued to restore q tolerably bad case Of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and
most important etep is for the patient to
avoid taking cold, and the best Of all places
on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is Florida, we'll down in the State. where the
| temperature is regular, and not subject to
| such variations as in more Northern latitudee.
Palatka is point can recommend; good
hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last win

had been badly diseased, but who, undor the
| healing influence Of the climate and my medi-
| cines, were getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down the river

tho temperature is more even and the air dry
| and bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are
located there. should give q decided pre-
| ference to Mellonville. 1t is two miles from
river or lake, and it seems almost impossible
to take cold there. The tables in Florida

| 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
many other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptlves
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 1t
is not necessary to say that where consump-
tive person exposes himself to frequent colds,
advice is, go we'll down into the State. out Of
the reach Of prevailing East winds and foge.
Jacksonville or almost any other OF the To-
callties nave named, will benefit those, who
are troubled with torpid liver, dlsordered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased

mended.

In Florida. nearly everybody is using

What vast per ctntage of life would be saved
if coneumptives were as easily alarmed III re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
not. They take what they term little cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe
will wear of in q few days. They pay no at
tcntion to it, and hence it lays the Foundation
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 stock OF
Tonic and Schcnck's Mandrake Pills and so
to Florida. 1 recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. know that where they
are used in strct accordance with my dircc-
tions, they will do the work that ls required.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
Tho physician who rrcscribcs for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
TO walk or ride out every. day. will be sure to
have a corpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my. three medicines, IN
accordance with the printed directions, en-
Mandrake Pills il necessary. My object IL to
give tone to the stomach-to get up good
appetite. 1t is always good sign when
patient begins to grow hungry. have hopes
Of such. With a relish for food and tho
qualification Of that relish comes good blood,
and with it more flesh, which is closely fol-
lowed by healing of the lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills
and clammy nightaweats no longer PROSTATE

cd he avoids taking cold.

may be asked, is thero no hope for such?
Certainly there is. Ny advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay i'll warm room during
the winter, with a temperature OF about
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly ut that point, by means of ther-
momcter. Let such patient tako his eS.
ercise within tho limits Of the room by walk
ing up and down as much as lis strength will
permit in crder to keep up healthy circula-
tion of the blood. 1 have cured thousands
by this system, and can do 80 again. Con-
sumption is as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputcd on record that Schcncks 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 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 arc concerned.
