stand fully the course that ought to bo pur-
sued to restore e tolerably bad case Of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and
most important stop is for tho patient to
avoid taking cold and the beat of all places
on this continent for this purpose in wintcr,
is Florida, well down in tho State, whero the
temperature is regular, and not subject 10
such variations as in more Northern latitudee.
Palatka is q point can recommend. good
hotel is kept there by Pctcrman. Last win
ter saw several persons there whose lungs
had been badly diseased, but who, under the
healing influence of the climate and my mcdi-
cincs, were getting well.
Ono hundred miles further down the river

tho temperature il more even and the air dry

located there. should give n decided pre-
ference to Mcllonvillc. II is two miles from
river or lake, and it seems almost impossible
to take cold there. Tho tables in Florida
might DO better, and patients complain at
times, but that liz good sign, as it indicates
a return OF appetite, and when this IL the case
they generally increase i'll flesh, and then the
lungs must heal!
Jacksonville, IIbcrnia, Green Cove, and
many other places i'll various parts of Florida,
can DO safely recommended to consumptives

patlonts arc less liable to take cold there than
where there is n less even temperature, and it

lishcd fact that natives Of Florida rarely die

My advice to persons whose lungs arc

Now there are many cnnsumptivcs who have
not the means to go to Florida. Thcqutstion
may be asked, is there no hopo Tor such?
Certainly there is. My advice to such liz. and
ever has been, to stay in q warm room during
the winter, with temperature of about
seventy degrees, which should DO kept
regularly at that point by mcans of ther-
momcter. Let such patient take his *

undiapu,cd on record that Schcnck's Primo

have cured very many of what seemed to be
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where

So In: az he Mandrake Pills are concerned
everybody should keep II supply of them on
hand. They act on tho liver better than culu
mel, and leave none of its hurtful effects be-
hind. In fact, they are excellent in MI cases
where purGatiyc medicine is required. II
