DR. SCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME
TIYES TO GO to FLORIDA IN WINTER

/ Mr.. SCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME
/ IL TiVES TO co re FLORIDA IN WINTER.
1 Having for the last thirty five years devoted
| my whole time and attention to the duty of lung
diseases and consumption, feel thatl under
| stand fully the course that ought to be pursued
| to restore tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
| to healthy soundness. The first and most impor-
tant step is for the patient to avoid taxing cold
and the best of all places this con tnent for ts
| purpose in winter, is Florida, well dowh in the
State, where the temperature is regular, and not
| subject to sucn variations in Northern
| ATTITUDES. Palatki is point can recommend
| good hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last
winter l saw several persons there whose lungs
| had been badly diseased, but who, under the
| healing influence of the climate and my medi-
ciaes, were getting well.
| One hundred miles further down the river is a
| point which l would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
| bracings Mellonville and Enterprise are located
there l should give decided preference to
Mellonyille 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there
The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
tients complain at times but that is good sign,
as it indicates return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
| and then the lungs must heal.
| Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and ma
| nv other places in various parts of Florida
| can be safely recommended to consumptives in
winter My reasons for saying that patien Is
are less liable to take cold there than here there
is less temperature, and it is not necessary
| to say that where consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die short
| ly Therefore my advice is, go well down into
| the State out of reach OF prevailing east winds
| and fogs ia cksOnville, almost any other oil
the localities | have named, will benefit those
who are troubled with torpid river, disorder
| ed stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat OF
cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased a
more southern point is earnestly recomm ended.
| For fifteen years prior to 1869, | was profess
I sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
| Philadelphia every week, where | saw and ex
amined on average five hundred patients {
week A practice so exten sive, embracing every
possible phase OF lung disease, has enabled me tc
understand the disease fully, and hence, my eau
ton in regard to taking cold A person may take
vast quaint tiles of ''Schenck's Puimonic syrup
seaweed Tonic and MandE axe Pills." and yet dl
ii he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck:
Medicines, especially Schenck's Mandrake Pills
| for the climate is more likely to produce bilious
| habits than more northern ATTITUDES 1t is wei
established fact that natives of Florida rarel,
die OF consumption, especially those of the south
ern part On the other hand in New England
one-third, at least, of the population die Of thu
terrible disease. In the Middle States it does no
prevail as largely, still there are many Thousands
of cases there What vast percentage of iift
would be saved If consumptives were as easily
ARMED IT. regard to taking fresh cold as they
are abou. scarlet fever, small pox, &c. But the,
are not They take what they term a litte COLI
which they are credulo enough to believe
wear off in a few days They paw no attention
to it, and hence it laws the iOunda lion for anothe
and another still, until the lungs are disease,
beyond all hope TO" cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in stock of Schenck'
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenk's Seaweed Tonic an
ScLenk's Mandrake 2 ills and go to Florida
recommend these particular medicines becaus
| am thoroughly acquainted " it'll their action
| know tina where they used in strict &C
cordance with my directions toey will do tn
work that is required. This accomplished, IA
ture will do the rest. The physician who per
scribcs for cold, cough or nigh swcats, and the1
ad Uses the patient to walk or ride out ever
day, will be sure to have corpse On his hand
before long.
Ny plan is to give my three medicines, in &C
COZ dance with the printed direc TONS except i
some cases where freer use of the mandrak
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone t
tie stomach-to get up good appetite. 1t
always good sign when patient begins t
errow hungry. l have hopes of SUCH With
glish for rood and the qualification of that re-
sh comes good bluod and 18th it more flesh
which is closely followed bya healing of tn
lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates, tn
creeping chills and clammy night-sweats n
longer PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient get
! well, provided he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many oonsumptives who hav
not the means to so to Florida. The questio
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 a warm room during winter
With temperature of about seventy degrees
which should be kept regular at point, b
means of a themome ter. Let such patier
take hiS exercise within the limits of the ROOF
: by walking up and down as much as his strengt
will permit, in order TO keep up healthy circu
lation ofthe blood. l have cured thousands b
this system, and can do so again. Consumptio
is as easily cured as any other disease ii it
taken in time, and the proper kind of treatmen
is pursued The fact stands undisputed on re
ord that tSchenk' 5 Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrak
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very man
ofwhat seemed to be hopeless cases o f consLmI
ton. Go where you viii, you will be almos
certai in to find some poor cOnsumptiye who ha
, been cured from the very jaws OF death by thei
!, use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
+ every ody should keep supply of them o
\ hand. They act on the liver better than Gale
, mel, ard leave zone OF its hurtful effects behinC
t In fact they are excellent in all cases where
; purgative medicine is required. Ii you hav
r partaken too fl eely of fruit and diarrhOea ei
V sues, dose of Mandrake will cure you. lfyo
!. are subject to sick headache, take dose of th
Mandrakes and they will relieve you in tw

change of water, or too free indu gence in fru

Il may then drink water and eat watermelon:

In conclusion, i'll say that when person
