~ SuMPrINES TO GO TO FLORIDA IN
Having for the last thirty .Hve years devoted
my whole time and attention 10 tho study oi
lnng diseases and consumption, feel that un-
derslnud mlly the course that ought to pursued
to restore n tolcrably bad ease OF diseased lungs
To healthy sounducss. The first and most ni-
cold, and the best of all places on THIS continent
for THIS purpose In wlnter Is Florida, well down
in tho state, where the temperature Is regular,
and not subject to such variations MS in moro
Northern latitudes. Palatlta is point can re-
man. Last winter saw several persons there
whose lungs had boon badly diseased, but who,
under tho healing influence of the climate and
my medicines, We're getting well.

and 1t seems almost impossible to take cold
there. The tables in Florida might be better,
and patients complain at times but that is n good
sign, as It indicates q return of appetite and
when this is the case they generally increase in
flesh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, llibornia, Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida can be
safely recommended to consumptives I'M winter.
MY reasons for saying so are That patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is

In Florida a,nearly everybody is using schencls's
Mandrake Pllls, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern latl-
tudCs. II Is Il well established fact that natives
of Florida rarely die OF consumption. especially
those OF the southern part. on the Other hand

lation die of this terrible disease. In the Midlo
states IL does not prevail so largely stu there
are many thousands of cases there. What n vast
percentage of life would be saved If cohs1mp-
lives were as easily alarmed in regard TO tnlSir

term a little cold, which they are credulous

recommend these particular medicines because

do the rest. The physician VINO prescrbes for
cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out every day, Will
be sure to have corpse on his hands before
long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in ac-
cordance with the printed directions, except in
some cases where IL freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to
the stomach-to get up good appetite. IL is al
ways a good sign when patient begins to grow

he avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptvcs who have
not the means to go TO Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger
tainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever
winter, with q temperature of about seventy de-
grees, which should be kept regularly at that
patient take his exercise within the limits of the
room by walking up and down as much as his
strength will permit, in order to keep up q
healthy circulation of the blood. l have cured
thousands by this SYSTEM and can do so again.
Consumption is easily cured as any other dis
ease If it is taken in time, and the proper kind
of treatment is pursued. The fact stands undis-
puted on record that Schenck's S Pumonic Syrup,
Mandrake Pills, and Seaweed 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 consumptive
who has been rescued from the vey jaws of death
by their use.
SO TAR as the Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calomel,
and leave none of its hurtful effects behind In
fact they are excellent in all cases where pur-
gative medicine is required. If you have par
taken too freely OF fruit and diarrhua ensues, Il
dose OF the Mandrakes Will cure ycu. If you are
subject to sick headache, take u dose of the Man
brakes and they will relieve you IN two hours.
If you would obviate the effect OF II change OF
water, or the too free indulgence in fruit, take
one of the Mandrakes every night or every oiher
watermelons, 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.
Ihey are perfectly harmless. They can do you
good only.

ton and New YORK, but continue to see patients

Those who wish thorough examination with
the Respirometer Will be charged five dollars.
The Respirometer declar the exact condition
of the lungs, and patients can readily learn
whether they are durable or not. But desire it
distinctly understand 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 theirs systems are brought
into healthy condition thereby, they are not
so liable to take cold, yet no one with diseased
lungs can bear sudden change of atmosphere
without the liability of greater or less irritation
of the bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany
my medicines, so explicit ana clear that any
one can use them without consulting me, and
can be bought from any druggist.
