hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last win

had been badly diseased, but who, dnder the

cines, were getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down the river

the temperature is more even and the air dry
and bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are
located there. SHOULD give decided pre-

to take cold there. The tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain at
a return of appetite, and when this is the case
they generally increase in flesh, and then the
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibcrnia, Green Cove, and
many other places in various parts OF Florida,
can bo safely recommended to consumptiyes
in winter. My reasons for saying 80 are that
patients arc loss liabio to take cold there than
whero there is q less even temperature, and it
is not necessary to say that where n consump-
tive person exposes himself to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly: Therefore. my
advice is. go well down into the state. ont % OF
Jacksonville, or almost any other OF the To-
oalities have named, will benefit those who
are troubled with a torpid liver, disordered

In Florida. nearly everybody is using
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, for tho climate is
more Northern latitudes.. It is a we'll est!b-
lished fact that natives of Florida rarely die

States it does not prevail 30 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
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they are
not They take what thoy term little tso1;s cold,
will wear off in few days. They pay no at
tention to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lungs
are diseased beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in a stock OF
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go

This accomplished, nature will do the rest.

Certainly. there is. My advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
the winter, with temperature OF about
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly at that point, by means OF ther-
mometer. Let such a patient take his ex.
ercise within tho limits OF the room by walk,
ing up and down as much as his strength will
permit, in order to keep up q healthy circula-
tion of the blood. I have cured thousands
by this system. and can do so again. Con
sumption is as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
OF treatment il pursued. The fact stands
undispated on record that Schenck's Pulmo-
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 find
some poor consumptive who has been rescued
from the very jaws Of death by their usc.
SO far az the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply OF them on
hand. They act on the liver better than calo.i
mel, and leave none of it's hurtful effects be-
hind. In fact, they are excellent in all cases
