For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profession

deiphia every week, where / saw and examined
on an average iive hundred patients week. A |
practice SO extensive, embracing every possible
phase OF lung disease, has enabled me to under.

in regard To taking cold. A person may take |
vast quantities OF 'schencks Pulmonic Syrup. |

until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope for |

My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is to lay III IL stock OF Schenck's
Pulmonic syrup, schenck's Seaweed Tonic and
schencks Mandrake Pills and go to Florida I
recommend these particular medicines because
am thoroughly acquainted with their action.

ance with my directions they VIII do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature VIII
do the rest. The physician who prescrioes for
cOlu, cough or nlgnt-SWeatS, and then advises
the patient to walk ride out every day, will
long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed directions except in
some cases where n freer use Of the Mandrake
Pills Is necessary. My object is to give tone to |
the stomach-to get up good appetite 1t Is al |
ways good sign when n patient begins to grow
food and the gratification of that relish comes ,
good blood, and with It more flesh, which is ,,
closely followed by healing OF the lungs. Then !

Now there many consumptives who have ! =
not the means to go to Florida. The question /,
may be asked, is there no nope for such? Ger
.ainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever ,
mas been, to stay in II warm room during the
winter with temperature of about seventy de- a
yrees, which should be kept regularly at that >
point by means of a Thermometer. Let such a
patient take his exercise within the limits OF the
