the last thirty-hve years devoted my whole
time and attention to the study OF lung diH-
stand fully the course that ought to be pur-
sued to restore q tolerably bad case OF diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and
avoid taking cold, and the beet Of all places
| on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is Florida, we'll down in the State, where the
such variations as in more Northern latitudes:

had been badly diseased, but who, under the
healing influence OF tho climate and my medl-
cincs, wcre getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down tho river
is poiut which would prefer to Palatka, as
the temperature is more even and the air dry
and bracing. MellUnvillo and Enterprise arc
located there. I should give decided pre-
ference to Mellonvlle. 1t is two miles from
river or lake. and it seems almost impossible
to take cold there. The tables i'll Florida
might be better, and patients complain at
times, but that is good sign, as 1t indicates
Il return Of appetite, and when this is the case
they generally increase in flesh, and then the
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibcrnia, Greon Cove, and
many OF her places in various parts OF Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptives
in winter. My reasons for say ing 80 are that

In Florida. nearly everybody is using

of consumption, especially those of the South

gard to taking fresh cold as they are about

are diseased beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly il. to lay in stock OF
Schcnck's Pulmoiic Syrup, Schcnck's Seawccd
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go

medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. know that where they
are used in strict accordance with my direc-
tions, they will do the work that IL required.

My plan is to give my three medicines, In

ever has been, to stay in q warm ros III during
