DIR, SCWENCK advises Consump-
tiyes to SO to Florida i'm Winter.
Having for the last thiry-ive years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study Of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that | under
stand fully the course that ought to be puasued
to restore toleraby bad case of diseased lungs
to health and soun6ness TIE first and most i'm
portant step is for the patient to avoid taking
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose i'll winter, is Florida, we'll down
in the State, where the temperature is regular
not subject to such variations rs in more North
ern latitudes Palaika is a point cal recon-
mend. A good hotel is kept there by Peterman.
Last winter saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under
the herring influence of the climate and my med
icines. were getting we'll.
Che hundred miles further down the river is a
point which l would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Nlellonvile and Enterprise are located
there. l should give a decided preference TO
Mellonyille. 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there
The tables in Florida might be BETTER and pa
tients complain at times but that is good sign,
as it indicates O return of appetite, and when
this is tns case they generally increase IN flesh,
and the lungs mus heal
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many
other places in various parts of Florida, can lie
safely recommended to consumptiyes IN winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there IL
less even temperature, and it is not necessary to
say that where consumptve person exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the State out Of the reach of prevailing east
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any 9th
er CT the iacai1ties l have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with torpid liver, dis
ordered stomach, deraDged bowels, sore throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased &
more southern point is earnestly recommended.
For fifteen years priorto 1869, I was profits

Philadelphia every week, where saw and exam

BILE phase of lung disease has enabled me to I'M
derstand the disease fully, and hence, my caution
in regard to taking cold. Aperson may take vast
quantities of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea-
weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills., and yet die if
he does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schcnek's
Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more nortl ern lati-
tudes 1t is well established fact that natives
Of Florida rarely die of consumption, especially

die States it does MT prevail SO largely still there
are many thousal. is OF cases there. What vast
percentage of life would be saved if consump-
tives were as easily alarmed in regard to taking
fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, small
pox, &c. But they are not. They take what
they term a little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear off in few days.-
They pay no attention to it, and hence il lays the
foundation for another and another still, until
lungs are diseased beyond all hope of cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay IN stock OF Sehenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and
Schencks Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. |

anee with my directions they will do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest The physician who presciibes for
cold, cough or nightsweats, and then advises
the patient to walk ride out every day, will be
sure to have corpse his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines. in
cordanee with the printed directions. except in
some cases where freer use of the Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object in this is to give
tone to the stomach-to get up good appetite

Now there are many consumptives whs haze
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
has been, to stay in warm room during the win
ter, with temperature of about seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly at that point by
Of thermometer. Let such patient
take his exercise within the limits of the

by this system, aud can do SO again. Consump
ton is as easily cured as anv other disease if it
is taken in time, and the proper Kind Of treat
ment is pursued The fact stands undisputed on
record that Schencks Pulmonic Syrup Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very many
of what seemed to be hopeless cases of consump-
ton. Go where you will, you will be almost GER
tain to find some poor consumptive who has been
rescued from the very jaws of death by their use.
Sc far the Mandrake Pills concerned,
everybody should keep supply ofthem on hand.
They act on the liver better than calomel, and
leave none of its hurtful effects behind. In fact
they are excellont in all cases where q purgative

Those who wish thorough examination with tho
Respirometer will be charged five dollars. The
Bespirometer declares the exact condition of the
lungs, and patients readily learn whether they

In conclusion, l will say that when persons
take my medicines and their 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.
