HAvrSc for the last thlrty-dve years devoted my
whole time and attention 10 the study Of lung dis

Of all places on this continent for this purpose in
winter, is Florida, well down in the State, where
the temperature is regular, and not subject 10 such
variations as in more northern latitudes. Palatks
Is point can recommend. A good hOtclis kept
there by PeteInan. Last winter saw several per-
Eonsthere whose lungs had been badly diseased but
who, under the healing influence Of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.

should give decided preference TO MeIonville: It
is two miles from ryer or lake and It seems almost
impossbleto take cold there. The tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain at times:
but that IS good sign as it indicates 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 safe

reasons for saying so are that patients less li-
bic 10 take cold there than where there is q less
even temperature; and 10 Is not necessary to say,
that, where u consumptivc person exposes himself
to frequent colds, he is certain to die shortly;
therefore my advice Is, go we'll down into the State

In Florida, nearly everybody is using schenck's
Mandrake PMS; for the climate is more likely
to produce bilious habits than more northern lati-
tUdes. 1t is well-established fact, that natives
Of Florida rarely die Of consumption, especially

they are excellent in all cases where purRative
