Having for the last thirty.nve years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study OF
lung diseases and consumption, feel that un.

Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many
other places In various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives in winter.
Ny reasons for saying so are that patients are
less even temperature, and II Is not necessary
TO say that where aconsumptive person exposes
himself TO frequent colds he is certain TO Tie
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the State out of the reach of pervading east
winds and logs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities have named, Will bene-

For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profession
ally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and Phlla,
on AN average five hundred patients "a week..
practice 80 extensive, embracing every possible
phase OF lung disease, has enabled me TO under
stand the disease fully, and hence, my caution
in regard to taking cold. A person may take
vast quantities of '5chencks Pulmonic syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake pills." and yet

In Florida nearly everybody is using Schencks
Mandrake Pils, for the climate is more likely TO
produce bilious habits than more northern lati-
tudes. 1t is a well established fact that natives
VI Florida rarely die OF consumption, especially
those OF the southern part. ON the other hand,
in New Ehgsnd, one-tnird, at least, of the poPu-
lation die OF this terrible disease. In the Midle
States It does not prevail 30 largely stu there
are many thousands of cases there. What u vast

Those who wish a thorough examination with
the Respirometer will be charged five dollars.
The Respirometer declares the exact condition
OF the lungs, and patients can readily learn
whether they are curable or not. But desire II
distinctly understand that the value of my
medicines depends entirely upon their being
taken strictly according to directions.
In conclusion, / will say that when persons
take my medicines and their systems are brought

so liable TO take cold, yet no one with diseased
