I>r. SCHjKNCK Advises Consumptives to
to Florida iu Winter.
Having r or tbe List tliirtv-flre y.-ara fle voted
my whole time nnd attention to the study of
lung diseases and consumption, If. ,} that I un
derstand fully the eourse t it ough. te Le i ur
sued to r* store a tolerably bud case of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. Tiie f rst and most
important stis for th.^patient to ?ivoid taking
cold, and the best of all p’aees on this continent !
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well do in ■
in the State, where the temperature is regular,
an"! not subject to such variations as in more •
Northern latitudes. TVatka is a point Icm
recommend. A good hotel i« kept there bv Fo
terman. Last, winter Isitv several j. ersi nstl ere
whose lunrrs had Leen badly diseased, but weh
under the hea’in<r influence of the climate and
my medicine, were trettir g well.
One hundred miles further down the river is a
point which I wool! prefer to P.datka, as the
temperature is more even and the air more dry
and braeine. Mellonville and II derprise are
located there, 1 should give a decided prefer
ence to Mr-lliuiville. It is two miles from
or lake, and it seems almo-t imt-ossihle to take
cold there. The tables in Florida might be bet
ter, and patients complain at times, but that is
a good Bit?n, as : i n Mcat-ee .* r. turn of appetite,
«nd when this is the case they gen. rally in
crease in flesh, and V en the lui gs inust h. al.
Jacksonville, Hibernia,Green fqve, and many
other places in various parts of i loriaa, can be
safely recommended to consumptives in a inter.
My reasons for faying so are that patterns are
legs liahl to take co!,l there than where there
is a less even temp raltire. and it is not e*'*’s—
sary to say ilia! where a consumptive perse ; ex
poses himself to frequent eel’s he is ce; .ain to
die shortly. Therefore, my advice is, p> Well
down into the State out of 'he reach of prevail
ing east winds and Coirs. Jacksonville, or almost
any other of the localities I hnv- named, will
benefit those who are troubled with a torpid
liver, a disordered stomach, derail-ed bowels,
aore throat or cough, l ut for those whose lunes
are diseased a more Southern poiui is earnestly
recommended.
For fifteen years prior to 18C9, T was profes
sionally in New Yo-k, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every Week, where f saw and ex
amined on an average five hundred patients per
week. A practice so extensive, embracing eVery
possible phase of lung disea e, lias enabled me
■to understand the disease fully, and hence my
caution in regard to taking ■d. \ person may
•take vast quantities of “"chenek’s Pulmonic
By rup, Seaweed T• ■ni and Man rake Pi le,” and
yet die if he does not avoid I akin r cod.
In Flor ida, near ly evervbo.lv is using Be/ienck’s
Mandrake Pills, for tire c ,: m ite is more likely to
produce bilious habits than more northern lati
tude*. It is a well established fa. t that nntiver
of Florida rarely die of c URiiinp'ion, cspe.-iallv
those of the southern pari.. Oi the 01 her hard
in New England, one third, at least, of the pop
ulalion dip of this terrible dls tree. In the Mid
dle States it doe. not prevail so largely, still
there arc man vt' ousrtn '» of en..-s rlr •. ' hat
a vast pern n’agc of life on'd 1 e saved, if
consumptives were « c idly alarme 1 in regard
to taking fresh cohl ns they are about sc r'et
fevet, small pox, Ac- But they at - not. They
take what they term a lilt! cold, which they
are credulous enough to belie v will a ear offdn
a few lays. Thee pay n" attention to it-and
hence it lays the foundation lor me ‘her and
another-till, until the lungs are HseaaeJ be- on, l*l
- all hope for cere. gl.

Now thei c are many consumptives who have
not the means'o goto Florida. 'I he question
may be asked, is there no hope for - 'ten t Cer
tainly there is. My adrir •to such is, and ever
has been, to stay in a warm room do ing the
winter, with a tem: era!tire of t.b.mt seventy
‘degrees, whi-h should he kept regularly at that
point, by m, m of a the mom-t r. Let such a
patient take his exercise will it tlo-limits of the

strength will permit, in older to k* ep up a
healthy circulation of the blood. 1 have cured
thousands by this system, and c u do so again.
Consumption is as easily c r.d as at y other
disease if it is taken in time, and the proper
kind of treatment is pursued. The fa t stand
undisputed on record that Shcntk'a Pmmnnic
Syrup, Mandr tke Pills, and Seaweed Tonic luwe
cured very many of what seem. -1 to he hopeless
cases of consumption. Go wV r* you wilt, you

Speak Out !
Draw from the scabbard word.; r-f truth,
And let them thrsli in Error’s eyes ;
Strike bravely homo the two-edged sword,
And take the world by quick surprise—
Speak out!
In thoughtful minds, from age to age,
Ileid by seme creed, or fear, or doubt.
Were thoughts which might have grown to
deeds,
And would, had they been spoken out.
Speak out!
Now in the days when light is full,
When true men wait with open ears
To hear new truths, or old proclaimed,
That are net lies grown grey with vcais—
Speak out!
No matter who is in the gate—
Who stands within the market place—
Who in the temple strives to turn
The uttered words to your disgrace—
Speak out!
We cannot help but see the sun,
Nor from our eyes shut wrong and sin ;
Oar lips, which are the doors of ; pooch,
Are not to shut our thoughts within—
Spoak out!
There are old wrongs which skulk and hide
Behind some usage of the past ;
‘ God's truth alone, out.-; oka !r, man,
| Shall drive theta from their piece at last:
Speak out I
Not to make war where peace might reign,
i (’1 lie blessed reign qf truth and right)
But what the honest mind ;ss.rciws,
And what you fuel and know is right—
Speak out I
A word may thrill a soul, and touch
Ami start a moral influence
I hrough many years—perhaps thru’ spheres
Beyond our earth’s circumference :
Speak out!
Ami listening ear.-- shall hoar the truth,
Though spoke in exile and alone;
The seed shall fall ia open soil,
And glow from oil' the barren stone:
Speak out!
fheie's hope when tongues begin to tell
An i shame the world of its '. tree deeds,
When helping bands outreach to bless
And tear to *-hreds its false old oreads :
Speak out!
For w ods are mightier now by far,
Vi hi- !, r " ; • ;

And Light and Truth will spread at last

Service op Despots.—Says a letter writer
in an able English weekly : ‘The most remark
able form of human insanity is that which im
pels groat masses of men, and nations to serve
despots and do their work. The public opinion
of Russia is little more advanced rb.,11 the
public opinion of the Hottentots, but, .~ t< h ,s
it Is, it is easily excited in Caver of any Cz.tr.
Germany, boasting its intellectual development,
and having really taken, by force of mind, a
high place in the world's history, is a! mo-'. * s
easily misled as Russia.’ And America, at
times, as oa«i!y as either of them.
A Net for fltri.t f.—Within a few days quite
a number of our citir-ons have received circu
lars from a party in New York, tendering the
sale of Counterfeit money at a low price. The
letter is apparently written, but: really litho
graphed, in addressed ‘dear friend’ and ccm
plimsots the receiver on having heard of him
■ n shrewd aid reliable person, no 1 one likely
to enter into a business the nature of which
. explained in thialetter.’ The letter covers
i ; , *<rly two pares of largo rizo paper. Ho
r.<f rs to sell bit's the s-ize ; of which are 50c..
’> and -510 ; iu addition he states that ‘not one
inker in five hundred can detect them.’ This
is probably the same party who awakened the
cupidity of one of our Radical Congressmen,
aid so completely sold him a package with a
genuine two dollar bill and the balance waste
piper. These people so manage that they
cannot he arrested, as they do not sell counter
feit money ; and although their business is
dishonest and censurable, still no sympathy can
be entertained for the really dishonest person
