nR. sCHENcK ADVISES CoNsgdp

Having for the last thirty i've years devoted
my whole time and attention to the duty 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 soupdpess. The first and most impor-s
tant step Is for thespatient to avoid taxing cold,
and the best of all places this tnent for this
purpose in winter, is Florida, well dow n in the
State, where the temperature ia regular, and not
| SUBJECT to such variations. as in more Northern
| latltudes. Palatki is APPOINT can recommend. -
A good hotel is kept. there by, ,Peterman. Last
winter l saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased but who, under the
healing influence of the climate and my medi-
| clnes, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is a.
point which would prefer t, Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and:
| bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are located
| there | should give decided pre- ference to
Meiionyile 1t is two miles from river or lake,
and 1t 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 1t indicates return, Of appetite, and when;
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal.
i Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove. and ma
ny 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 here there
is less even temperature, and it is not necessary
to say that where consumptiye 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 fogs ia cSsonville, or almost any other of
the localities | have named, will benefit those
who are troubled with torpid river, disorder
ed stomach, deranged bowels sore throat or
cough, but for Those whose lungs, are diseased
more southern point is earnesty recomm ended.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, was profes-
siona lily in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
| Philadelphia every week, where I saw and ex
| amined on an average five hundred patients
week A practice so extern sive, embracing every
possible phase of lung disease, has enabled me TO
understand the disease fully, and hence, my eau
ton in regard to taking cold Il person may take
vast quantities Of "Schenck's Pulmonc syrup
| seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. and yet dl
| II he does not avoid taking cold
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Schencks
/ Medicines, especially Schencks Mandrake Pills
for the climate is likely to produce bilious
habits than more northern ATTITUDES 1t is we'll
established fact that natives OF Florida rarely
die of consumption especially those of the south
ern part On the other hand, in New England
one-third, at least of the population die Of this
terrible disease. In the Middle States it does not
prevail as largely, still there many thousands
! OF cases there What vast percentage of life
would be saved if consumptives, were as easily
ARMED il regard to taking fresh cold as they
are abou: scarlet fever, small pox, &c. But they
are not They take what they term little cold
which they are credu louS enough tobelieve
wear off in few days. They pay no attention
to it, and hence it LAYS the founda ton for another
and another STILL until the lungs are diseased
beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in stock of Schenck
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenk's Seaweed Tonic and
Schenk's Mandrake 2 ills and go to Florida.
recommend these particular medicines because
| am, thoroughly acquainted with their action
l know that where they used in strict ac-
| cordance with my directions they will do the
work that is required. This accomplished, ma
ture will! do the rest. The physician who per-
scribes Tor cold cough or night sweats, and then
advises the patient to walk or ride out every
day, will be sure to have corpse on his hands
before long.
Ny plan is to give my three medicines, in &C
cordance with the printed direct TONS except in
some cases where frcer use of the mandrake
ills is necessary. My object is to give tone to
> tie stomach-to get up good appetite. 1t is
| always good sign when "a patient begins to
errow hungry. l have hopes of such. With a
glish for FOOD and the qualification of that rel
ish cones good blood, and with it more flesh,
which is closely followed bya healing of the
lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates, the
creeping chills and clammy night W ats no
longer PROSTATE and annoy, and the patient gets
S well, provided he avoids taking cold.
d Now there are many consumptires who have
: not the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked is there no hope for such! Ger
family there is. My advice to such Is, and every
has been, to stay in warm room during winter,
with a temperature of about seventy degrees,
which Should be kept regular al point, BY
means OF themofne ter. Let such a patelt
take his exercise within the limits of the room
: by walking up and down much as his strength
will per MT i'll order to keep up a healthy circu-
lation of the blood have cured thousands BY
this system, and can do again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other di sease if it is
taken in time, and the proper kind OF treatment
is pursued The fact stands undisputed on rec
ord that Schenk' s Pulmonc Syrup, Mandrake
Pills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very many
ofwhat seemed to be hopeless o consLmp-
ton. Go where you will, you will be almost
