TYR. SCHENCK ADVISES CON-
- SuMPTIVES TO GO 70. FLORIDA IN
Having for the last thIrty.dve 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 to
restore tolerAbly bad case OF diseased lungs TO
healthy Eoundness. The frst and most import
ant step. Is for the patient to avoid taking cold,
and the best OF oil places on this continent for
this purpose In winter, Is Florida, well down IN
the State, where the temperature Is regular, and
not subject TO such variations az In more North
crn latitudes. PaIatka Is point can recon-
mend. A good hotel is kept there by PeterlnAn.
Last winter saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under
the healing influence Of the climate and my med

jacksonville, IIiberniG, Green Cove, and many
other places In various parts OF Florida, can be
Safely recommended TO c0nsumptlvcs In winter.
My reasons far saying so are that patients are
less liable TO take cold there than where there is
q less even temperature, and II Is not necessary
TO say that where cOnsumptlVe persOn exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice Is, 90 well down
into the State out Of tho rcAch OF prevailing east
winds and fOgs jacksonville, or almost any
other Of tho localities have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with torpid liver, dis
ordered stomach, derlnged bowels, sore throat
or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased

In Florida, nearly everybody Ia using SchcnCk's
Mandrake Pills, for the climate Is more likely Ia
produce billions habits than more northern laii'
tudCs. II Is q we'll established fact that natives
Of Florida rarely die Of consumption, especially
those Of the southern part. On the other hand.
In New England, OnC.third, at least, Of the Popn'
latOn, die OF this terrible disease. In the Mid.
do States 1t docs not prevail no largely, still
there arc many thousands Of cases there. What

what they term little cold. which they arc cred
nlOus enough to believe will wear OF In few
days They pay no attention TO II, and hence II
lays the foundation for another and another still,
until the lungC arc diseased beyond all hope for
cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly Is, TO lay in u stock Of Schcnck's
Pclmonic Syrup, SChGnCk's SCawccd Tonic and
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida
recommend these particular medicines because

unce with my directions they will do the work
that Is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who pFcscrbcs for
cold, cough or nlghiswCnis and then advises the
patient 10 walk or ride ont every day, will be sure
10 have u corpse on his hands before long.
My plan II 10 give my three medicines, In ac'
cOrdancc with the printed directions, exception
some cases where ireGr use OF the Mandrake
Pills Is necessary. My object is to give tone to

Now there arc many COnsnmpliNCs who have
