ETHES TO 60 TO FLORIDA ~

HAVING for the last thirty-nvc years devoted my
whole tine and attention 10 the STUDY lung dis
cases and consumption, feel that understand
tJlerIbly bad case Cf diseased lungs TO b. althy
soundncss 1he e. st and D.Cst impatient step Is
for patient to avoid taking cold; and tho best
of all PAGES on this continent for this purpcsc in
winter, Is FLORIDA, well down in the Stale V hero
the temperature is re ular, and not subject tosuch
Is point can recommend. A God hgtcIis kers
there by Peteulan Last winter I saw several pcr-
onsthere whose lungs had been badly diseased, but
who, under the healing influence Of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles farther down the river is
point which would prefer to falatka, as the tenn
peratureis more even, and the air dry and bracing
MellOnville and Enterprise arc located there. 1
should give decided preference to MeuouyiIle: It
is two miles from ver or lake, and It seems almost
impossibletO 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, Hibcrnia, Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida can be saf
ly recommended to eonsumpuves in winter. Ny
reasons for saying so are that patients are less la
bic to take cold there than where there is q less
even temperature; and it is not necessary TO say,
that, where consu1np tive person exposes himself
10 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 fogs.
Jacksonville or almost anv other OF the localities
Ihave named, will benefit those who arc troubled
with torpid liver, disordered stomach derangGd
bowels, sore throat or cough; but for those whose

For ffteen years prior to 1859, I was profession
ally In New York, Boston, Baltimore, and Philadel-
phia every week, where saw and EXAMINED on an
average five hundred patients week. A practice
soextensve, embracing every possible phase oflung
disease, has enabled me to understand the disease
fully; and hence my canton in regard to taking
cold. person may take vast quantities OF
fSchenck's Pulronic Syrup, Scaweed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills, and yet die if he does not avoid
In Florida, nearly everybody is using schenck's
al .nf- HfaHwm
to p.odnce bilious habits than more northern latl-
tudes. 1t Is well-established fact, that natives
OF Florida rarely die of consumption, especially
those of the southern part. On the other hand, in
New England. one-third at least Of the population
die OF this terrible disease. In the Middle States,
1t does not prevail so largely still there are many
thousands OF cases there. What vast percentage
Of life would be saved if consumpttves were as
easily alarmed in regard totakng fresh colds as they
are about scarletfeveF, smallpox &c but they are
not: they take what they term little cold, which
they are eredulous enough to believe will wear OF
hence m Il lays the Foundation for another - and an an
other STILL until the lungs are diseased beyond all
hope Of cure.
1Iy advice to persons whose lungs are affected,
even slightly, is to lay in stock Of Sehencks Pull
monte Syrup, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic, and
Schenek's Mandrake Pills, and 90 to Florida. re-
commend these particularmedi because 1 am
thoroughly acquainted with their action. 1 know,
that, where they are used in strict accordance with
my directions, they will do the work that Is re-
qlired This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prescribes for cold, cough, or
night sweats and then advises the patient to walk
or ride out every day, will be sure to have corpse
on his hands before long.
Myplanis, to give my three medicines in accord
ance with the printed directions, except in some
cases were freer use of the Mandrake Pills is
necessary. Ny object Is, to give tone to the stom
aeh,-to get up good appetite. It is always a
good sign when patient begins to grow hungry:
have hopes of such. With relish for food, and
the qualification Of that relish, comes good blood,
and with it more flesh, which is closely followed
by healing of the lung, then the cough lOOsens
and abates, the creeping chills and elammy night

Now, there are many consumptives who have
not the means to go to Florida. The question may
be asked, Is there no hope for suehp Certainly
there is. My advice to such is, and ever has been
to stay in warm room during the winter, with a
tefnperature Of about seventy degrees, which
should be kept regularly at that point by means of
ather1nometer. Let such patient take his exer-
else 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.
/ Ihave cured thousands BY this system, and can do
other disease, If IL Is taken in time and the proper
kind Of treatments pursued. The fact stands IN
disputed on record, that schencks Pulmonic
Syrup, Mandrake Pills, and beaWeed Tonic have
cured very many Of what seemed TO be hopeless
cases of consumption. Go where you viii, you will
be almost certain to ind some poor oonsumptive
who has been rescued from the very jaws Of death
50 far as fhe Mandrake Pills arc concerned,
everybody should keep q supply Of them on hand
They act on the liver better than ealomel, and
leave none of its hurtful effects behind. In fact
they arc excellent in all cases where a purgative
medicine is required If you have partaken too
freely of fruit, and darrh@a ensnes, dose Of the
MandrakeS will cure you. If you arc subject to
sick headache, take a dose Of the Mandrakes, and
they Will relieve you in two hours II You would
ebviste the effect OF change Of water, or the too
free indulgence in fruit, take Of the Mandrakes
every night, and you may then drink water, and
eat watermelons pears, apples, plums. peaches, or
corn, without the risk OF being made sick by them.
They will protect those who live IN damp situations
against chllls and fevers- Try them. They are
perfectly harmless. They can do you good only.
have abandoned my professional visits TO Bos-
ton and New York, but continue to see patients at
my office, No. Is North Sixth Street, Philadelphia
every Saturday, from g. Az, to 3, Pm. those who
wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer
will be charged five dollars. The Respirometer
declares the exact condition of the lungs; and
patients can readily learn whether they are cur
that the value of my medicines depends entirely
upon their being taken strictly according to direc
dons.
In conclusion, viii say, that when persons
take my medicines, and their systems are BROUGHT
into healthy condition thereby, they arc not so
liable TO take cold; yet no one with diseased lungs
can bear sudden change of atmosphere without
the liability Of greater or less irritation Of the bron
chial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany my
medicines, so explicit and clear that any one can
use them without consulting me, and be
bought from any druggist.
