to take cold there. The tables in Florida
might be better, and patients complain at
times, but that il good sign, as it indicates
a return Of appetite, and when this is the case
they generally increase in flesh, and then tho
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hiberna, Green Cove, and
many other places in various parts OF Florida,
can be safely recommended to consumptivcs
in winter. My reasons for say ing 30 are that
patients arc less liable to take cold there than
where there is a less even temperature. and 1t
is not necessary to say that where consump
tive person exposes himself to frequent colds,
he is certain to die shortly. Therefore. my
advice is. go we'll down into the State. cut OF

hence my caution In regard to taking cold a
person may take vast quantities Of "Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Man
drake Pills" and yet die If he does not avoid
taking cold.
In Florida. nearly everybody is using
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, for the climate is
more likely TO produce bilious habits 1 Than than

there are many thousands OF cases there;

il consumptives wore as easily alarmed in re-
gard to taking fresh cold as they are about
scarlet fever. smallpox, &c. But they are
not. They take what they term little cold,
Which they are credulous enough to believe
will wear off in few days. They pay no at
tontion to it. and hence it lays the foundation
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 q stock OF
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills and go

medicines because am thoroughly acquaint-
ed with their action. i know that where they
are used in strict accordance with my direc-
tions, they will do the work that IL required.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prescribes for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
TO walk or ride ont every day, will be sure to
have a orpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines, IN
accordance with the printed directions, ex-
cept in some cases where freer use OF the
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object ls 10

Now there are many cnnsumptives who have
not the means to go to Florida. Thcquestionn
may be asked, is there no hopo Tor such?
Certainly there ia. My advice to such is. and
ever has been, to stay in warm room during
the winter, with q temperature OF abont
seventy degrees, which should he Kept
regularly at that point, by means of ther-
mometer. Let such patient take his tx e;
ercise within the limits of the room by walk

by this system, and can do 30 again. Con
sumption ia as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper KIND
OF treatment is pursued The fact stands
undisputed on record that Scbenck's Pulmo-

have cured very many of what seemed to be
hopeless cases of consumption. 20 where
you will, you will be almost certain to lind
some poor consnmptive who has been rescued
from the very jaws of death by their use.
So far as the Mandrake pillx arc concerned.
every body should keep supply OF them on
hand. They act OH the liver better than calc'
mel, and leave mono of it's hnrtful effects be-
hind. In fact, they arc excellent in all cases
where purgative medicine is required. II
