most important step is for the patient to
avoid taking cold, and the best OF all places
ia florida, we'll down in the State, where the
temperature is regular, and not subject to
suoh variations as in more Northern latitudce.

Jacksonville, Ilibcrnia, Green Cove, and
many other places in various parts OF Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptivcs
| in winter. My reasona for saying 30 are that
patients are less liable to Take cold there Than
where there is less even temperature, and it
| is not necessary to say that where coneump-
live person exposes himself to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly. Therefore, my
advice is. go we'll down into the State. cut OF

calitics have named. will benefit those who
are troubled with torpid liver, disordercd

menued.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profcs:.
eionally in New York, Boston, baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where saw and ex-
nmined on an average five hundred patients
week. practice so extensive, embracing
every possible phase of lung disease, has cna-
blcd mo to understand the disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. a
person may take vast quantities of "Schcncks
rulmonic Syrup, Scawecd Tonic and aInn-
drake pills.' and yet die if he does not avoid
taking Geld.
In Florida. nearly everybody is using
Schench's Mandrake Pills, tor the climate IL

lishcd fact that natives of Florida rarely die

die of this terrible disease In the Middle
States it docs not prevail so largely, still
there arc many thousands OF cases there:
What vast per ctntago Of life would be saved
If cunsUmptives were as easily alarmed in re-
gard To taking fresh cold as they are about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they arc
Il
which they crcdulous enough to believe
will wear on in few days. They pay no at
tention to it. and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lungs
arc .liseaaed beyond all hope for cure.
My advice 10 persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is. to lay in stock Of
Schenck's Iulmonic Syrup, Schenck,ss Seaweed
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go
TO Florida. l recommend these particular
medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. know that where they

tions, they will do the work that is required
This accomplished, nature will do tho rest
The phyaician who prcscribes Tor cold, cough
or nEht-sweats, and then advises the patient
to walk OF ride ont every day, will be sure to
have Il CORPSE OH his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, in
ccpt in some cases where freer use OF the
Mandrake Pills il necessary. My object is to
give tone TO the stomach-to get. up a good
appetite. It is always good eign when n
patient begins to grow hungry. have hopcs
of such With n relish for food and the
qualification Of that relish comes good blood,
and with it more flesh, which is closely fol
lowed by healing OF the lungs. Then the
cough looscns and abates, the creeping chilis
and clammy night-sweats no longer PROSTATE
and annoy, and the patient gets well, provid-
ed he avoids taking cold.
Now there arc many cOnsumptives who have
not tho means to go to Florida. Thcquestion
may be asked, is there no hope Tor such?
Certainly there ID. My advice to such is. and
|
tho winter, with l. temperature of about
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means Of q ther
momcter. Let such patient take his ex.
ercise within the limits of the room by walk
ing up and down as much as his strength will
permit, in order 10 keep up healthy circu!s-
tion of the blood. I have cured thousands
by this system, and can do 30 again. Con-
sumption is as easily cured as any other
disease. if taken i'll time, and the proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact etands
undisputed on record that Schenck's Pnlmo-
mic 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 ind
some poor coneumptivc who has been rescued
from the very jaws OF doath by their use.
SO far as the Mandrake Pills arc concerned.
everybody should keep supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calo.
mcl, and leave none Of its hurtful effects be-
hind. In fact, they are excellent i'll all cases
where purgativc medicine is required. II
