Palatka is point can recommend. A good
hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last win
ter saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased. but who, under the
healing influence Of tho climate and my medi-
cines, wore getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down the river
Is point which would prefer to Palatka, as
tho temperature is moro even and tho air dry
and bracng. Mellonvillo and Enterprise arc
located there. I should givo a decided pre-
ference to MelloDvillo. 1t is two miles from
river or lake, and it seems almost impossible
to tako cold thero. Tho 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 feah. and then the
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibcrhia, Green Cove, and
many other places in various parts OF Florida,
can bo safely recommended to consum ptives
i'll winter. My reasons for say ing 20 are that
patients are lcss liable to take cold there tina n
where there is less even temperature. and it
ia not necessary to cay that where consump.
tive person exposes himself to frequent colds
he is certain to die shortly. Til, ,reforo my
advice is, go well down into tho State, cut OF
Jacksonville, or almost any other of the To-
caliiies have named, will benefit those who
are troubled with torpid liver, disordered
stomach, derangcd bowels, core throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs arc diseased
more Southern point is earnestly recon-
mended.
For fifteen years prior to 1869. was profes
eionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
philadelphia every week, where saw and ex-
amined OH an average five hundred patients
week. A practice so extensive, embracing
every possible phase of lung disease, has cna.
bled mo to understand the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a
person may take vast quantities Of "Schcnck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Scaweed Tonic and Man
drake Pills." and yet die if he does not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida. noarly everybody ia using
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, Tor the c innate is
moro likely TO produco bilious habits than
more Northern latitudea. II is we'll cstlb-
lished fact that natives Of Florida rarely die
OF consumption, especially those of the South
ern part. On tho other hand, in New Eng
land, one:third. at least, of tho population
dlo OF this terrible disease. In tho Middle
States it does not prevail so largely, still
there arc many thousands of cases there.
What vast per centage of life would bo saved
if consumptivcs were as easily alarmed in re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they arc
not. They take what they term little cold,
will wear of in few days. They pay no at
tention to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, rntil the lungs
are discased beyond all hopo for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in a stock Of
Hchcnck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schcnck's Soawced
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida. I recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
cd with their action. know that where they
are ueed in strict accordance with my dircc-
tions, they will do the work that is required.
This accomplished, nature will do tho rest

or night-swcats, and then advises tho patient
to walk or ride out evory day, will bo sure to
have corpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with tho printed directions, cx-
cept in some cases where a freer use Of the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give nn,t;to tone to the stomachto get up good

of such. With a relish for food and tho
qualification of that relish comes good blood,
lowed by healing of tho lungs. Then tho
congh loosens and abates, the creeping chills
and clammy night-swests no longer prostrate
and annoy, and the patient gets we'll, provid-
ed he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many c0nsumptives who have
not the moans to 90 to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope Tor such2

the winter, with temperature of about
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means Of a ther-
moncter. Let such patient tako his cx.

disease, if taken III time and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputed ON record that Schench's Puimo-
mic syrup, Mandrake Tilla, and Scawecd 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 consnmptive who has been rescued
from the very jaws Of death by their use.
SO far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
