Mr. SCHENCK ADVISES CONSUME.


1 TIYES 70 co re FLORIDA IN WINTER.
Having for the last thirty.iive wears dcvoted
my W hole time and attention to the duty of lung
diseases and consumption, feel that under
| stand fully the, course that ought 10 be pursued
to restore d toierablv bad case of disea ed lungs
to healthy soundness. The first and most impo.
step is for the patient to avoid taxing cold.
and the best all places this con tiuent for this
purpose in winter, is Florida, well down in the
State, where the temperature is regular, and not
subject to sucn variations as in more Northern
ATTITUDES. Paatki is point can recommend
A good hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last
winter saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased but who, under the
healing influence of the climate and my medi-
cincs, getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is a
point which | wculd prefer u Palatka, as the
| temperature is more even and the air dry and
| bracing. MellonvilIe and Enterprise are located
there ! should give decided preference to
Mellonviile 1t is two miles from river lake,
and il seems almost impossible to take cold there
The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
| tents complain at times but that is good sign,
as it indicates a return OF appetite, and when
this Is the case they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hbernia, Green Cove, and ma
nv other places in various parts of Florida,
can be safely recommended to cnnsumptiveS in
winter Ny reasons for saying so are that patients
less liable to take cold there than here there
is less even temperature and 1t is net necessary
tn say that where Il cOnsumptlve person exposes
himself TO frequent colds. he is certain to die short
ly Therefore my advice is, go well down into
the State out of reach OF prevailing east winds
and iogs Jacksonville, or almost any other OF
the localities | have named. will benefit those
who are troubled with a torpid river, disorder
! ed stomach, deraEged bowels, sore throat or
| cough, but for those whose lungs diseased a
| more southern point is earnestly recommended.

vast quantities Of ''SChenck's Pulmonc syrup

ii ne does not avoid taking cold.
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Euhcnck
Medicines, especially Schenck's Mandrake Pills,
for he climate is more likely to produce bilious
| habits than more northern ATTITUDES 1t is we'll

to it, and hence tiavs the founda ton for another

! NV advice to persons whose lungs are affected
| even slightly is, to lay in stock of Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenk's Seaweed Tonic and
| Schenk's Mandrake Z ills and go to Florida. |
| recommend these particular medicines because

work that is required. This accomplished, ma

Ny plan is to give my three medicines, in &C
cordance with the printed direc tions, except in
some cases where freer of the mandrake

| Now there are many consu4lptives who have
not the means TO go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Ger
tainly there is. Ny advice to such Is, and evei Y
has been, to stay in warm room during winter,
W 18th temperature of ABOUT seventy degrees,
which should be kept regular at a point, by
means of thermometer. let sHch a patient

/ this system, and can do so again. Consumption
| is easily cured as any other disease it is
taken in time, and the proper kind OF treatment
| is pursued. The fact stands undsputed on rec
p; ord that Schenk' Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very many
ofWhat seemed to be hopeless cases of consump-
ton. Go wheGe you Will, you will be almost
certa i'll to find some poor consumptive who has
been cured from the very jaws OF death by thei
! use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
| everybody should keep supply of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than Gallo
mel, and leave none of its hurtul effects behind.
In fact they are excellent in all cases where a
purgat tive medicine is required. Ii you have
| partaken too freely of fruit and diarrhOea ell
sues, dose of Mandrake will cure you. II YOU
| are subject to sick headache, take dose of The
| Mandrakes and they will relieve you in two

pears, apples, plums, peaches, corn without
risk ofbeing made sick by them. They il.
protect those who live in damp situations against
chills and tevers. Try them, they are perfectly
harmless. They can do good only. | have

In conc fusion, " i'll say that when persons
