Gases and consumption, I feel that I under
stand fully the course that ought to be pur-
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and
most important stop is Tor the patient to
avoid taking cold, and tho best Of ali places
on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is Florida, well down in the State, where tho
temperature is regular, and not subject 20
such variations as in more Northern latitudee.
Paiatka is point can recommend. A good
hotel is kept thero hy Pcterman. Last win
ter naw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who under the
healing influence of tho climate and my medi-
cines, were getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down the river
is point which Iwould prefer to Palatka, as
the temperature is moro even and tho air dry
and bracing. Mcllonvillo and Enterprise arc
located there, should give q decided pre-
ference to Mcllonvillc. 1t is two miles from
river or lake, andit seems almost impossible
to take cold there. Tho tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain at
return of appetite, and when this is the case
hey generally increase in flesh, ard then the
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and
many other places i'll various parts Of Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptivcs
in winter. My reasons for sa. ing 80 are that
patcnts are less liable to take cold there than
where there is n less even Temperature aud it
is not necessary to cay that whcro consump-
two person exposes hims elf to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly. TIL, rcfore. my
advice is, go well down into tho State. cut of
tho reach of prevailing East winds and fogs.
Jacksonville, or almost any other of the To-
calitics have named, will benefit those WHO
are troubled with torpid liver, disordcrcd
stomach, deranged bowels, eorc throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs arc diseased
moro Southern point is earnestly RECON-
mendcd.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profess
eionaly in New York, Boston, baltimore and
Philadelphia every week. where saw and c1-
amincd on an average five hundred patients
week. practice 80 extensive, embracing
every possible phase Of lung disease, has cna.
blcd me to understand the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may tako vast quantities Of 'Schcnck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Scawced Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yet die if he does not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida. nearly everybody is using
schcncks Mandrake Pills, tor the climate is
moro likely to produce bilious habits than
lishcd fact that natives of Florida rarely die
OF consumption, especially those of tho South
ern part. On the other hand, in New Eng
land, one:third, at least, of the population
die OF this terrible disease. In the Middle
States it does not prevail so largely, still
there arc many thousands of cases there.
What vast per centage of life would be saved
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they are
not. They take what they term little cold,
which they arc credulous enough to believe
tcntion to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lungs
are diseased beyond all hope for cure.
ny advice to persons t, whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in stock of
Schenck's Pul onic Syrup, Schenck's Scawccd
Tonic and Schcncks Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida. l recommend theso particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. 1 know that where they
arc used in strict accordance with my dircc-
tions, they will do tho work that is required
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prescribcs for cold, cough
or night-swcats, and then advises the patient
TO walk or rido out every day, will be sure to
have orpse OIL his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines. in
cept III some cases where Il freer use OF the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give tone to the stomach--to get up good

of such. With relish for food and the
qualification OF that relish comes good blood,
and with it more flesh, which is closely fol-

and clammy night -eweats no longer PROSTATE
and annoy, and the patient gets we'll, provid-
cd he avoids taking cold.
Now there arc many coneumptiyes who have
not the means to so to Florida. Thequestion
may be asked, is there no hope Tor such?
Certainly there is. Ny advice to such is. and
over has been, to stay in warm room during
seventy degrees, which should he kept
regularly at that point, by means of ther-
mometcr. Let such patient take his ex.
ercise within the limits OF tho room by walk

permit, in order to keep up healthy circua-
tion OF tho blood. have cured thousands
by this system, and can do so again. Con-
sumption is casly cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued The fact stands
undispnted on record that Schcnck's Pulmo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Ti.ls, and Scawccd 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
everybody should keep n supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calu
mel, and leave none Of its hnrtful effects be-
hind. In fact. they are excellent in all cases
