cold, and the best of all places on this continent
Tor this purpose In winter, is Florida, well down

and not subject to such variations as in more

In flOrldn,ueurly everybody rs using Schenck's

My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in a stock OF s5chenck's

Now there are many consumptives who have
not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, Is There no hope for such? Ger
tainly there is. My advice to such is, ana ever
has been, to stay in n warm room during the
grees, which should be kept regularly at that
point by means of Thermometer. Let such n
patient take his exercise within the limits of the
room by walking up and down as much as his
strength Will permit, in order to keep up a

Consumption is as easily cured as any other dis

So far as tho Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everybody should keep supply of them on

and leave none of its hurtful effects behind In
fact they are excellent in all cases where a pur-
