most important step is for the patient to
avoid taking 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 as in more Northern lntitudea.

hotel is kept there by Pcterman. Last win

had been badly diseased, but who, under the

Ono hundred miles further down the river
is point which would prefer 10 Palatka. as
the temperature is more even and the air dry

located there l SHOULD give decided pre-

TO take cold there. The tables in Florida

patients arc less liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temper ature, aud it
is not necessary to say that whero consump-
tive person exposes hiE!self to frequent colds,
| he ls certain to die shortly. Therefore, my
advice is, so well down into the State, cut of
the reach of prevailing East winds and fogs.

are troubled with torpid liver, disordered

hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A
