on this continent for this purpose in winter,

temperature is regular, and not subject to
such variations as in more Northern latitudes.

One hundred miles further down tho river

the temperature is more even and the air dry
and bracing. Mellonvillo and Enterprise are
located there. should givo decided pre-

Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, aud
many other places in various parts OF Florida,

III winter. My reasons for saying 30 are that
patients are less liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature, and it
is not necessary to say that where a consump-
tive person EXPOSES himself to frequent colds.
he is certain to die shortly. Therefore, my
advice is, go well down into the State. out Of

hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a

more likely to produce bilious habits than

there are many thousands Of cases there.

scarlet fever. smallpox, &c. But they are
not. They take what they term a little cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe
., will wear on in few days. They pay no at,
for another and another still, until the lungs
arc diseased beyond all hope for cure.
| NY advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in a.stock OF
schenck's Pulmonic Syrup schenck's seaweed
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida: I recommend these particular
| medicines because I am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. know that where they
| are used in strict accordance with my direo-
| tions, they will do tho work that is required.
| This accomplished, nature will do the rest
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
! to walk or ride out every day, will bo sure to
| have corpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my. three medicines, in
cept in some cases where freer use OF the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give tone to the stomach-to get up a good
appetite. 1t is always good sign when
OF such. With relish for food and the
qualification OF that relish comes good blood,
and with it more flesh, which is closely fol-
lowed by healing Of tho lungs. Then the
and clammy night-swcats no longer PROSTATE
and annoy, and the patient gets well, provid-
ed he avoids taking cold.
NOW there are many cOnsumptlves who have
not the means to go to Florida. Thequestion
may be asked, is there no hope for such?
| Certainly there is. My advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
| the winter, with q temperature of about
| seventy degrees, which should be kept
| regularly at that point, by means Of ther-
| mometer. Let such q patient take his ex.
| ercisc within tho limits of the room by walk
| ing up and down as much as his strength will
| permit, in order to keep up healthy clrcula-
| ton OF the blood. I have cured thousands
by this system, and can do 80 again. Con-
sumption is as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputcd on record that Schenck's Pulmo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Pills, and Scawced Tonic
have cured very many OF what seemed to be
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where
you WILL you will be almost certain to find
| some poor consumptivo who has been rescued
from the very 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 calo'
| mel, and leave none of it's hurtfnl effects be-
hind. In fact, they are excellent in all cases
where q purgatiye medicine is required. II
you have partakcn too freely Of fruit and
diarrhGa ensues, dose OF tho Mandrakes
will curo you. II you arc subject to sick
headache, tako dose Of the Mandrakes and
| they will relieve you in two hours. If you
| would obviate the effect Of change of water,
or tho too free indulgence in fruit, take
one of the Mandrakes every night or every
| other night md Won NAV then drink water
