Having for the last ,hlrty-nve years devoted
my whole time and attention 10 the study oI
lung diseases and consumption, iGgl tnag T. , uni
to restore a t0orably bad case of diseased lungs
to healthy soundness The first and most M
portant step is for tho patient to avoid taxing
cold, and the best of an places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, IS Florida, well down

point which would prefer TO Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and

and il seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables in Florida might be better,

when this is the case they generally increase in

Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, ana many
other places In various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended to cunsumptivcs in winter.

In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck' .
Mandrake PMS, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern lati-
tudes. 1t is a well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die of consumption, especially
those Of the southern part, ON the other hand,
In New Ehglsnd, une-third, at least, of the popu-

states 1t does not prevail so largely stu there

the patient TO walk or ride out every day, Will

My plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed directions, except IN
some cases where u trecr use OF the Mandrake
Pills Is necessary. My object is to give tone to

Now there are many conSumptlyos who have
not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is lhcrc no nope for such7 Ger
tainly there is. Ny advice to such is and ever
mas been, To stay IL u warm room during the
winter, with a temperature OF about seventy de
gieCs, which should be kept regularly Mt that
point by means of II thermometer. Let such a
patient take his exercise within the limits of the
room by walking up ard down much rs his
strength will permit, in order TO- keep up {,
thousands by this system, and can do SO again.
Consumption is as easily cured as any other dis
ease II IL is taken in time, and the proper Kind
of treatment is pursued. The fact Stands uudis-
putet on record that Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
Mandrake Pills, and SeaweeG Tonic have cured
of consumption. Go where you will, you viii be
almost certain to find some poor cOnsumptive
who has been rescued from the vey jaws OF death
by their use
so far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calUmel
and rcave none of its nurtful effects behind In
fact they are excellent in all cases where II pur
gative medicine is required. If you have par
taken too freely of fruit and diarrhpa ensues, q
duse OF the Mandrakes will cure ycu. If you are
subject to sick headache, take dose Of the Man

water, or the too free indulgence in fruit, take
one of the Mandrakes every night or every oihel
night, and you may then drink water and eat
watermelOns, pears, apples, plumS, peaches OI
corn. without the risk OF being made sick by
them. They Will protect those who live in damp
situations against chils and ievers. Try them.
They are perfectly harmless. They can do you
good only.
