every possible phase OF lung disc asc, has cna-
blcd mo to understand the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may tako vast quantities of "Schcncks
Pulmonic Syrup, Scnwced Tonic and Man
drake Pills." and yet die if hc does not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida, .noarIy everybody is using

States it does not prevail SO largely, etill
there nro many thousands OF cases there.

not. They iako what they term a little cold,
Which they are crc1ulous enough to believe

for another and another stil, until tho lungs
arc discascd beyond NIL hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in stock of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schcncks Scaweed
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida: I recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acQuaint-

are uecd in strict accordance with my direc-

Tho physician who prcscribes for cold, cough
or night-sweats, md then advises tho patient

have CORPSE on his hands before long:
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with the printed directions, e1-

Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object ls to
give tone to the stomach-to get up good
