Having for the last thirty-nve years devoted
my whole time aud attention TO the study OF
lung diseases and consumption, feel that un.
TO restore tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
TO healthy soundness. The first aud most Inn
portant step is for the patient TO avoid taking
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, IL Florida, well down
IN the state, where the temperature is regular
and not subject to such variations as IN more
Northern latltudes. Palatka is a point can re-
commend. good hotel is kept there by Peter
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
under the healing influence of the climate aud
One hundred miles further down the liver Is n
point which would prefer TO palatka, as tho
bracing. Melonville and Enterprise are located
there. l should give decided preference to
Mellonville. IL is two miles from river or lake,
and IL seems almost impossible TO take cold
there. The tables in Florida might be better,
and patients complain at times but that Is good
when this is the case they generally Increase in
ilesh, aud then ,he lungs must heal.
Jacksonville Hlbernia, Green Cove and many
other places IN various parts of Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives In winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there Is
a less even temperature, and IL Is not necessary
1 say ,hat a. waere aconsamptive person exposes Z
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the state out of the reach of pervading east

throat or cough, but for those whose lungs ar

For fltec years prior TO 1862 was profession

ueipnia m pm every week, where saw ana examlheH
practice so extensive, embracing every possible
phase OF lung disease, has enabled me TO under
stand the disease fully. and hence, my caution
in regard to taking cold. A person may take
vast quantities of "Sclenck's Pulmonic syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills." and yet
die II he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody Is using Schenck s
Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern latl-
tudes 1t is n well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die OF consumption especially
those OF the southern part. on the other hand,
IN New Ehglsnd, one-thlrd, at least, OF the popu-
lation die OF this terrible disease. In the Midle
are many Thousands of cases there. What a vast
perce itage OF life would be saved If coLs1mp-
tlNes were as easily alarmed in regard TO taking
| fresh cold AS they are about scarlet fever, small
poX, &C. But they are not. They take what they

They pay no attention to 1T, and hence II lays
the foundation for another and another stlil,
cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in n stock of Schenck's
Pulmonic syrup, SchenCk's Seaweed Tonic and
Schencks Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. /

that is "equired. Tins accomplished, nature Will
do the rest. The physician who prcscr1bes for

some cases where u treer use of the Mandrake

the stomach-to set up a good appetite. 1t is al

closely followed by healing of the lungs. Then

Now there are ny consumptives who have
not the means TO go to Florida. The question
tainy there is. My advice to such is, and ever
has been, to stay in II warm room during the
winter, win temperature OF about seventy de-
gtees, which should be kept regularly at that
point. by means of n thermometer. Let such n

thousands by this system, and can do so again.
Consumption is as easily cured as any other dis

Mandrake Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured
very many OF what seemed to be hopeless eases
OF consumption. Go where you Will, you Will be
almost certain to lind some poor consumptive
who has been rescued from the vey jaws OF death
by their use.
SO TAR as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep supply of them on
hand. They act ON the liver better than caomel
and leave none OF Its hurtful effects behind In
fact they are excellent in all cases where pur
gative medicine is required. If you have par

brakes and they Will relieve you In two hours.
If you would obvlate the effect OF a change of
water, or the too free indulgence in fruit, take
night, and you may then drink water and eat
watermelons, pears, apples, plums, peaches or
corn, without the risk of being made sick by
them. They will protect those who live in damp
situations against chils and fevers. Try them.
Ihey are perfectly harmless. They can do you

the Respirometer will be charged five dollars.
The Respirometer declares the exact condition
OF the lungs, and patients can readily learn

distinctly understand that the value of my
medicines depends entirely upon their being
taken strictly according to directions.
In conclusion, will say that when persons
take my medicines and their ystems are brought
INTO healthy condition thereby. they are not
so liable 10 take cold, yet no one with diseased
lungs can bear sudden change of atmosphere
without the liability of greater or less irritation
OF the bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany
my medicines, so explicit and clear that any
one can use them without consulting me, and
can be bought from any druggist.
