understand fully the course that ought - be pur-
sued to restore tolerably bad case Of diseased
lungs to heollhy soundness. The frt aid
most important step is foI the patient to avoid
taking cold, and the best Of all places on this
continent for this purpose in winter, is Florida,
well down m the State, where the temperature
is regular, and not sutjec: 10 such variations as
in m re Northern latludes. Pala!ka is point
can recommend. \ good hotel Is kept there by
Peterman. Last winter saw several persons
there whose lungs had been badly diseased, bu,
who under the healing influence Of the climate
and my medicines were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is
q point which would prefer TO Paalka, as the
temperature IS more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellonye and Enterprise are loca-
ted there. ] should give deoiced preference
to Meonville. 1t is two miles from ryef or
lake and it seems almost impossible TO take
cold there. The tables in Florida might be bet
ter, and patients COnp lain at times but that IS a
good sign, as it indicates return ofapPeute. and
when this is the case they ecneTaIlo increase IN

safely recommended 10 coaSumPI!Te5 n winter
My reasons fer saying 50 are that patients
! arc less liable to take cold lLcTe than
where there is Z less even tempera ufo
and it is 10! necessary TO say that con-
sumpti,e person exposes himself 10 frequent
colds he is certain 10 die shortly. Therefore
my advice is, 20 well down ia.o lie S.ais out
of the reach o. prevailing east winds and logs

tiles that have named, viii benefit those who
are taorbled with torpid liver, disoFdered
stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or cough,

In Florida, nearly everybody Is usinS

more l;key 10 produce bilious habits than more
northern latitude. 1t is well established !act

take what they term little cold, which they gre

another still until the lungs are diseased beyond
al! hope for cure.

recommend these particular medicines because
SIN thoroughly acquainted with tdcir action

dance with my directions they vi do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature
will do The rest. The physiciPn who prcscribes

My plan is 10 give my three medicines, in ac'
cordance with ny printed directions, except N
some cases where Z lreer use OF the Mandrake
