DR. SCHENCK ADVISES CON.
~ suMrriVEs 40 GO 10 FLORIDA IN
Having for the last thirty-nve years devoted
my whole time and attention 10 the study of
lung diseases and consumption, feel that un-
derstand iully the course that ought to pursued
10 restore II tolerably bad case of diseased lungs
TO healthy soundncss. The first and most I'M
portaut step is ior 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 latltudes. Palatka is point can re-
commend. A good hotel 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 liver Is a
point which would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing, Mellonville ana Enterprise are located
shoqu sg miles se ryr en- 70
and 1t seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables III Florida might be better,
and patients complain ut times but that Is q good
sign, rs IL indicates II return Of appetite, and
wnen this is the case they generally Increase in
flesh, ana then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, IIi0ernia, Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida, can be
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
u less even temperature, and II is not necessary
to say that where u aconsumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he Is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is go we'll down
winds and Iogs. Jacksonville or almost any
other of the localities have named, viii bene-
fit those who are troubled with n torpid liver, a
disordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore
throat or cough, but for those whose lungs ar.
diseased more southern point Is earnestly re
commended.
For fifteen years prior to 1859, I was profession.

delphia every week, where saw and examined
on AN average five hundred patients q week. a

phase OF lung disease, has enabled mo to under

In tlurida, nearly everybody Is using Schcnck S
Mandrake rms, for the climate Is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern lati-
tudes. 1t is II well established fact that natives
of Florida rarely die oi consumpt .on, especially
