Having for the last ,hirty-nvo years devoted
my whole time and attention TO the study ol
lung diseases and consumption, feel that 1 un-
dcrsiand fully the course that ought to pursued
To restore tolerably bad case OF diseased lungs
to healthy soundness. The first nnd most I'M.
portant step is for tho patient to avoid takin1
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
in the State, where the temperature is regular,
and not subject to such variations rs in moro

commend. a good hotcl is kept there by Peter
man. Last winter saw several persons there
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
| under the healing Influence of the climate and
my medicines were getting well.
one hundred miles further down the ilvcr Ia q
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing, Mellonville and Enterprise are located
there. 1 should give u decided preference to
Mellonyle. 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and 1t seems almost impossible to take cold
aud patients complain at times but that is a good
sign, as 1t indicates return of appetite, and
when this is the case they generally Increase in
ncsh and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, llibernin, Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptivos in winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there ls
n less even temperature, and IL is not necessary
to say that where n consumptlvo person exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain TO die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into tie state out of the reach of pervadng east
winds and logs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities | have named, Will benG

disordercd stomach, derangod bowels, sore
throat or cough, but for those whose lungs ar

Mandrake liils, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern lnti-
tudes. II is n well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die of consumption, especially
in New Ehglsnd one-third, Mt least, of the popu.
lati0n die OF this terible disease. In the Niido
Sta.es 1t does not prevail SO largely sti.l there
are many thousands of cases there. What n vast
perez ltage of life would be saved If cDhslmp-
tives Were as easily alarmed in regard to taking
fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, small

cold, cough or nght-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or fidc out every day, Will

M; NJ plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed directions except in
some cases where u freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to

Now there are many consumptves who have |
not the means to go TO Florida. The question |
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger |
tainly there is. My advice to such is and ever |
has been, TO stay in II warm room during the |
winter, with temperature of about seventy de |
grees, which should be kept regularly at that |
point by means of a Thermometer. Let such a |
room by walking up and down as much as his |
strength Will permit, in order to keep up 1t
healthy circulation of the blood. l have cured |

iery many of what seemed to be hopeless cases |
)f consumption. Go where you Will, you will be |
Utmost certain to lind some poor consumptive |
who has been rescued from the vey jaws OF death |

IN conclusion, Will say that when persons |

so liable to take cold, yet no one with diseased |
lungs can bear sudden change of atmosphere |
