Having for the last thlrty.ave years devoted
my whole time and attention TO the study OF
lung diseases and consumption, feel that un.

portant step Is Tor the patient TO avoid takln{
cold, and the best of all places on TINS continent
for tnis purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
In the State, where the temperature is regular,
and not subject TO such variations as IN more
Northern latitudes. Palatka Is a point can re-
commend. A good hotel Is kept there by ieter-
man. Last winter saw several persons there
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
under the healing influence OF the climate ana

temperature is more even ana the ar dry anu

and patients complain at times but that is n good

when this is the case they generally increase in

Jacksonville, HiOernla, Green Cove, and many
other places In various parts OF Florida, can be
safely recommended to consumptives In winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there Is
u less even temperature, aud IL is not necessary
to say that where n consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he Is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is go well down
into the State out of tue reach OF pervading east

In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schenck' =

produce pilious habits than more northern lati-
