and 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 tlorl-
da well down in this State, where the temper

tions as in more Northern latitude, Paatka is

there by Peterman. Last winter | saw several
persons there whose lungs had been badly dis
ased. but who, under the healing influence OF
the climate and my medicines, were getting

better and patients complain at times but that

many other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptlves

In Florida, nearly everybody is using
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, for the climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than more
northern latiudes. 1t is well established
fact that natives of Florida rarely die of con-
sumption, especially those Of the southern
part On the other hand, in New England one
third at least, of the population die OF this ter

! rections they will do the rest. The physician
who prescribes for cold cough or night-sweats
and then advises the patient to walk or ride
| out every day, WILDE sure to have corpse on
| his hands before long.
Nv plan is TO give my three medicines in
| cordauce with the printed directions, except in
some cases where freer use of the Mandrake
| Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone
to the stomacl-to get up good appetite. 1t

gets well, provided he avoids takingcOld.
Now there are many consumptives who have
not the means to 20 to Florida. The question
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 a temperature ofabout seventy
degrees, which should be kept regularly at

such patient take his exercise within the
limits of the room by walking up and down as

| have cured thousands by this system, and can
do so again. Consumption is as easily cured
as any other disease if it is taken i'll time, and
the proper kind Of treatment is pursued. The
fact stands undisputed on record that Schenck s
Pulm onic Syrup Mandrake Pills and Sea
weed 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 consumptve who has been
rescued from the very Jaws Of death by their
use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep a supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than Gallo
| mel and leave none of its hurtful effects be-
! hind: In fact they are excellent III all cases
where a purgative medicine is required. If

cureyou. If you would Obviate the effect Of
change of water, or the too free indulgence in
! fruit take one Of the Mandrakes every night
or every other night, and you may then drink
water and eat watermeons, pears, apples,
plums, peaches or corn, without the risk OF
being made sick by them. They will protect
those who live in damp situations against
chills and fevers. Try them. They are per-
fectly harmless They can do you good only.

Bpm Those who wish thorough examina-
ton with the Respirome ter will be charged five
dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact
condition Of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are durable or not. But
desire it distinctly understood that the value Of
my medicines depends entirely upon their being
taken strictly according to directions
In conclusion | will say that when persons
take my medicines and their systems are
brought into a healthy condition thereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, vet no one with
mosphere without the liability ofgreater or less
irritation Of the bronchial tubes
Full directions in all languages accompany
my medicines so explicit and clear that any one
can use them without consulting me-, and can
be bought from any druggist.
