The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1871-01-13

the laet th1rty-nVe years devoted my Wholo
time and attention to the study OF lung dis
eases and consumption, feel that under
| stand fully tho course that ought to be pur-.
| sued to restore tolerably bad case OF deceased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first 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 Florida, we'll down in the State, whore tho
| temperature is regular, and not subject to
| such variations as in more Northern latitudee.
Palatka is point I can recommend. A good
hotel is kept thoro by Peterman. Last win
| ter saw several persona there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who, undor tho
healing influence of the climate and my medi-
cines, were getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down the river
is point which would prefer to Palatka, as
the temperature lis more even and the air dry
and bracing. Mcllonville and Enterprise arc
located there. I should give decided pre-
ference to Mcllonville. 1t is two miles from
river or lake, and it seems almoet impossible
to take cold there. The tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain at
times, but that is good sign, as it indicates
a return of appetite, and when this is the case
they generally increase in flesh, and then The
lungs must heal.
many other places i'll various parts OF Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptiycs
in winter. My reasons for saying 30 arc that
patients arc less liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature, and it
is not nocessary to say that where n consump-
tive person exposes himsclf to frequent colds,
advice is, 60 well down into tho State. cut OF

For fifteen years prior to 1869, 1 was profcs.
| sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where saw and OK
amined on an average five hundred patients
every possible phase of lung disease, has cna:
blcd me to underst and the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a
person may take vast quantities Of "Schcncks
Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yet die if he docs not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida. nearly everybody is using
moro Likely to produce bilious habits than
moro Northern latitudcs. 1t is well cstab-
| lishcd fact that natives of Florida rarely die
of cons umption, especially those of The South
ern part. On the other hand, in New Eng
land, one third, at least, OF the population
die of this terrible disease. In tho Middle
States it does not prevail largely, still
there are many thousands of cases there.
What vast per centage of life would be saved
if cOnsumptives were as easily alarmed in re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
not. They take what they term little cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe
will wear OH in few days. They pay no at
tcntion to it. and hence it lays the foundation
| for another and another still, until the lungs
arc deceased beyond all hope for cure.
| My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly ia, to lay in stock of
Schenck's pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Scawc.d
Tonic and Schencks Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida. l recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
cd with ;hcir action. know that where they
are uecd in strict accordance with nv tlircc-
tions, they will do the work that is required
This accomplished, nature will do the rest. 4.
The physician who prescribes for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
TO walk or ride out every day, will be sure to
have { torpsc on his hands before long.
Ally plan is to give my three medicines, in
accordance with tho printed directions, tx-
sSpt in some ;, eases where frcer use of the
give tone to the stomacEto get up q good
appetite. 1t is always good sign when
patient begins to grow hungry, lave horcs

may be asked, is there no hope Tor such?
Certainly there is. My advice to such IL. and
ever has hecn, to stay in warm room during
tic winter, with II temperature of about
seventy degrees, which should he kept
regularly at that paint, ly means of thcr-
| momctcr. Let such patient take Lie tx

permit, i'll order to keep up q healthy circuIa-
ton oil the blood. J have cured thousands
by this system, and can do so again. Con-
; sumption is easily cured as any other
disease, il taken i'll time, ard the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputcd on record that Scbcnck's rnlmo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Scawccd Tonic
! have cured very many Of what sctmcd 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 very jaws of death by their use.
