DR SCHENCK ADVISES CON.
I n sgNPTIyEs TO GO. TO- FLORIDA IN
Having for the last thIrty-hYe 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 pursued "a
restore tolerably bad case OF diseased lungs "a
healthy soundnets. The first and most import
ant step Is for tho patient 70 avoid taking cold
and the best Of all places on this continent FOL
this purpose In winter, ID FLORIDA. well down II
the State, where the temperature Is regular, and
not subject 70 such variations as IN more Sorth
mand. A good hotel Is kept there By Petcnnan
Last winter saw several persons there whose
l. lungs had been badly diseased, but who, undel
the healing influence Of the climate and my med
icincs, were getting well. e..
Ono hundred miles further down the river y O
point which would prefer to Palatka, a. the
temperature Is moro even and tho air dry and
bracing. MelIoiYllle and Enterprise arc located
there. / should give decided preference To
Mcllonyillc. 1t IL two miles from Eiyer or lake,
and It seems almost impossible 70 take cold
there. The tables in Florida might DO better,
and patients complain at times, but that Is good
sign, as 1t indicated return OF appetite, and
when this is tho case they generally Increase In
dcsh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, HibCrnia, Green Cove, and many
other places In various parts OF Florida, can BE-
safely recommended TO consumptiYes IN winter
MY reasons far saying SO are that patients arc
less liable TO take cold thefe than where there Il
q less even temperature, and II Is not necessary
to say that where e0nsumptlTe person exposes
himself 10 frequent colds no is certain 10 die
shortly Therefore my advice is, go well down
into tie State out OF tho reach Of prevailing cast
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, OF. almost any
other OF tho localities llayo named, VIII benefit

week. A practice so extensive, embracing every
possible phase Of lung disease, Inns enabled me
10 understand tho disease fully, and hence, my
caution In regard 70 taking cold. 4 person may
iako vast quantities Of "schchck's PIllmonlG
Syrup, Scawecd Tonic and Mandrake Pill" and
yet die IL no docs not avoid taking cold: :,
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck'
Mandrake Pills, for the climate IS more likely y
produce bilious habits than more northern latt
tudcs. Il Is well established fact that natives
OF Florida rarely die Of consumption, especially
| those Of tho southern part, ON the other hand
In New England, one third, at least, Of the popu'
latIon, die Of this terrible disease. In tho Mid
die States II docs not prevail 10 largely, SUI
there arc many thousands Of cases there. What
vast per CCniagO Of life would be saved II CON
sumpdYCs werG as easily alarmed In regard to
taking lfGsh cold as they arc abOut scarlet fever
smOll pOx, SC. But they arc not. They take
what they term little cold, which they arc cred
ulous enough to believe Will wear on II ieM
days. They pay no attention to It, and hence Y
lays tho foundation for another and another still
until the lungo arc diseased beyond all hope fol
cure,
Ny advice to persons whose lungs arc affected
even slightly Is, TO lay iua stock Of schenck'l
PGlmonlc Syrup, SchGnck's SCawced Tonic and
SchCnck's Mandrake Pills and 60 to Florida.

that is required This accomplished, nature Will
do tho rest The physician who prcsCribes lOT
cold, cough or nlghisweats and then advises the
patient to walk or ride out every day, will DO SURE
to have corpse on his hands before long.
My plan Is to give my three medicines, In ac'
cordanCO with the printed directions, exception
some cases where itCet use OF the Mandrake muir s.

Then the cough loosens and Abates, the creeping

Vlhed he avoids taking cold. .
Now there arc many consumptives who have
not the means to 90 to Florida. The question
may be asked, Is there no hope for suchE 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 OF that point, by
means Of thermometer. Let such u patient
take his exercise within the limits oi the room BY

this system, and can do 70 again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other disease II 1t is
taken In time, and the proper kind OF treatment
Is pursued. The. iAct stands undisputGd on re-
cord that Schencks Pulmonic syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very many
Of what seemed to be hopeless cases OF eonsump'
ton. Go whore you will, you Will DO almost GER

rescued from the Jaws Of death by their use.
so far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply Of them on
hand. They act on the liver better than ealomel,
and leave none Of Its hurti1l effects behind In
fact they are excellent In all cases where pnr'
