eases and consumption, feel that under
stand fully the course that ought to be pur-
sued to restore tolerably bad case OF diseased
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, where tho
temperature is regular, and not subject to
such variations as in more Northern latitudcs.
Palatka is a point can recommend. good
hotel is kept thoro by Potcrman. Last win
ter I aaw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who, under tho
healing influence of the climate and my medi-
cincs, wcro getting we'll.
One hundred miles further down the river
is point which would prefer TO Palatka, as
th" temperature is more even AMI, ;.,o air dry
and bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are
located there. should give decided pro-
ference to Mellonville. 1t is two miles from
river or lake, and it seems almost impossible
to tako cold there. The tables III Florida
might be better, and patients complain at
times, but that ls good sign, AZ 1t indicates
l. return OF appetite, and when this is tho caso
they generally incresse in flesh, and then the
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, aud
many other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptives
in winter. My reasons for saying 30 are that
patients are less liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature, and it
is not necessary to say that where consump-
tive person exposes himself to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly. Therefore, my
advice il, so we'll down into tho State. out OF
the reach of prevailing East winds and fogs.
Jacksonville, or almost any other OF the To-
calities have named. will benefit those, who
arc troubled with torpid liver, disordered
stomach, derangcd bowels, soro throat or
cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased
a moro Southern point is earnestly recon-
mended.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profess
eionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where saw and ex-
amined on an average five hundred patients
week. A practice so extensive, embracing
every possible phase Of lung disease, has ena-
bled mo to understand tho disease fully, and
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities of "Schencks
Pulmonic Syrup, Scawccd Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yet die If he does not avoid
taking cold.
In In Florida. nearly everybody is using
moro likely to produce bilious habits than
more Northern latitudes. 1t is well estab-
lished fact that natives OF Florida rarely die
Of consumption, especially those of the South
ern part. On tho other hand, in New Eng
land, onc-third, at least, Of tho population
die of this terrible disease. In tho Middle
States it does not prevail 30 largely, still
What a vast per ctntage of lifo would be saved
if consumptives were as easily alarmed i'll re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they arc about
scarlet fever, smallpox, &c. But they arc
which they are credulOus enough to believe
will wear of in a few days. They pay no at
| tention to it, and hence it lays tho foundation
| for another and another stil, 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 rulmonic Syrup, schenck,s seaweed
to Florida. 1 recommend these particular
| medicines because 1 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 the rest.
The phyeican 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 corpse on his hands before long.
My plan il to give my three medicines, in
! accordance with the printed directions, eX-
| cept i'll come cases where q freer use Of the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give tone to tho stomach-to get up a good
| appetite. 1t is always good sign when u
patient begins to grow hungry. have hopes
OF such. With a relish for food and tho
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 loosens and abatcs, tho creeping chills
| and clammy night-sweats no longer prostl alto
and annoy, and the patient gets well, proyill-
ed he avoids taking cold.
Now there arc many consumptives who have
not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such?
Certainly there is. My advice to such is. and
ever has been. to stay in a warm room during
| the winter, with temperature of about
seventy degrees, which should he kept
regularly at that point, by means of q thcr-
momcter. Let such patient take his ex.
erciso within the limits Of the room by walk
| ing up and down as much as his strength will
permit, in order to keep up a healthy circula-
tion OF the blood. l have cured thousands
by this system, and can do so again. Con-
sumption il AZ easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and tho proper kind
OF treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputcd on record that Schcnck's Pulmo-
mic Syrup, Mandrake Pills, and Seaweed Tonic
have cured very many of what Eeemcd to be
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where
you will, you will be almost certain to find
some poor consnmptivo who has been rescued
from the very jaws of death by their uso.
SO far a. the Mandrake Pills arc concerned
every body should keep a supply OF them on
hand. They act on the liver better than Gallo.
