Dr. SCIIEXCK Advises Con sump*
tivci to go to Florida in Winter.
Having for the last thirtv-five years devoted
my whole time and attention to' the study of
lung diseases and consumption, I feel that fun
derstand fully the course that ought to be pur
sued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most
important step is lor the patient to avoid taking
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
in the State, where the temperature is regular,
and not subject to snch variations as in more
Northern latitudes. Palatka is apoint I can re
commend. A good hotel is kept there by Petef
niiin. Last winter 1 saw several persons there
whose luugs hail been badly diseased, but who,
under the healing influence of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.
Oue huudred miles further down the river is a
point which I would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry and
bracing. Mellon ville and Enterprise are'loca
ted there, I shonld give a decided preference to
Mellon ville. It is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there.
The tables in Florida might he better, and pa
tients complain at times but that is a good sign,
as it indicates a return of appetite, and when
this is the ease they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal'.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and
other places in various parts of Florida, can lie
safely recommended to consumptives in winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
a less even temperature, and it is not necessary
to say that wdiere a consumptive person exposes
himself to frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the State out of resell ot the prevailing east
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities 1 have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with a torpid liver, a ding
ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throa#
or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased
a more southern point is earnestly recommend
ed.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profes
sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, w here I saw and ex
amined on au average five hundred patients a
week. A practice so extensive, embracing ev
ery possible phase of lung disease, has enabled
no to understand the disease fully, and
hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities of “Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills,” and yet die if he does not avoid taking
cold.
In Florida, nearly every body is using
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for the climate is
more likely to produce blllious habits than more
northern latitudes. It is a well established fact
that natives of Florida rarely die of consumt
tion, especially those of the southern part. On
the other hand, in New England, one third, ut
least, of the population die of this terrible dis
ease. In the Middle States it does not prevail
so largely, still there are many thousands of ca
ses there. What a vast percentage of life woud
be saved if consumptives were as easily alarm
ed in regard to taking fresh cold as 'they are
about scarlet fever, small pox, &c. But they
are not. They take what t hey term, a little cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe will
wear off in a few; days. They pay no attention
to it, and lienee it lays the foundation for anoth
er and another still, until the lungs are diseased
beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose Inngs are affected
even slightly is. to lay in a stock of Schenck’s
Puhnomc Syrup, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic and
Selienck’s Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. I
recommend these particular medicines beeaue I
am thoroughly acquainted with their action. I
know that where they are used in strict accord
ance with my directions they will do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who prescribes for
eold. cough or night-sweats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out everv day, will
be sure to have a corpse on his hands before long.
My plan is to give my three medicines’ in ac
cordance with the printed directions, ext ent in
some cases where a freer use of ;he Mandrake
Tills is necessary. My object is to give tone to
the stomach—to get up a good appetite. It is al
ways a good sign wdien a patient begins to grow*
hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish
tor food and the gratification of that relish comes
good blood, and with it more flesh, which isclose
ly followed by a healing of the lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills
and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate
and annoy, and the patient gets w ell, provided
je avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptive who have
net the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for sucnV Cer
tainly there is. My advice to such is, an l ever
lias been, to stay in a warm room during winter,
with a temperature of about seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly at that .point,
°‘ a thermometer. Let such a patient
take his exercise writhin the limits of the room
by walking up and dow*n as much as his strength
will permit, in order to keep up a healthy circu
lation of the blood. I have cured thousands by
tins system, and can do so again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any ether disease if it is ta
ken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is
pursued. Ihe fact stands undisputed on record
that Schenck s Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Pills,
*?nd Seaweed Tonic have cured very manv of
what seemed to be hopeless cases of consu'mp
tron. Go where.you will, you will be almost cer
tain to find some poor consumptive who has been
reseured from the very jaws of death by their
use. m
So lar as the Mandrake Tills are concerned,
everykoky should keep a supply of them on hand.
I hey act on the liver better than calomel, and
leave none of its hurtful effects behind. In fact
thev are excellent in all cases where a purgative
medicine is required. If you have partaken too
freely of fruit and diarrlura ensues, a dose of the
Mandrakes will cure you. If you are subject to
sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes
and they w ill relieve you in two hours. If you
w ould obviate the effect of a change of water, or
the too free indulgence iu fruit, take one of the
Mandrakes every night or every other night, and
yon may then drink water and eat waterme
lons, pears, apples, plums, peeches or corn, with
out the ri*k ofoeing made sick by them.. They
will protect those who live in damp situations
against chills and fevers. Try them. They are
perfectly harmless. They can do you good'oulv.
I have abandoned my professional visits to
Boston and New York, but continue to see pa
tients at my office, No. 15 N. SIXTH street, Phil
adelphia, every Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 2 p ir
Those who wish a thorough examination w itli
the Respirometer will he charged live dollar*.—
The Respiromefer declares the exact condition
of the lungs, and patients can readily learn
whether they are curable or not, But I desire it
distinctly understood that the medicines de
pends upon their being taken strictly accordin ?
to directions.
In conclusion, I will say that w-hen persons
take my medicines and their systems are
brought into a healthy condition thereby ther
are not so liable to take cold, yet no one with
diseased lungs can boar a sudden change of at
mosphere without the liability of greater or less
irritation of the hron dual tubes.
Full directions in ill languages accbmpauv
my medicines, so explicit and clear that any one
can use them without consulting me, ami can
be bought from any druggist.

A FAIIILYJMITHIE.
BY A. B. I.ONGSTIirET.
I describe a Georgia family. It is ft
fair specimen of Gtoigia families gen
erally, at the*i»eads of which fire pa
rents of good sense, good morals, and
well improved minds. To be sure,
there are in Georgia as many notious
about parental government as there
are in any other country, and the
practice is tvs various as the opinions.
Some parents eiercise no government
at all; others confine themselves ex
clusively to the government of the
tongue; and others rule by the rod
alone; but by far the larger class
blend these several modes of govern
ment, and prefer the one or the other
according to times and circumstances.
To this class belonged Mr. and Mrs.
Butler, the heads of the family which
I am about to describe. Gilbert was
tbe Christian name of the husband,
and Kliza of the wife. I was iutimate
l.> acquainted with them both before
their union, and was ever afterwards
admitted to their household with the
freedom of one of its members —indeed,
I was a connection of oue of them.
They had been married about eight
mouths when a dull November evening
found me at their fireside. In the
course of the evening the conversation
turned upon raising children. “By
the way, Eliza,” said Gilbert, “I have
been thinking for some time past of
interchanging views with you upon
this subject ; and there never can be a
better time than now, while Abraham
is with us, whose opinions we both re
spect, and who will act as umpire be
tween us.”
'Well/ said Eliza, ‘let me hear
yours.’
‘lf we should ever be blessed with
children (Eliza blushed a little,) let it
be a fundamental law between us that
neither of us ever interfere with the
discipline of the other, either by look,
Nvord, or action, in the presence of th*
children.”
‘To that rule I most heartily sub
scribe.’
‘When a child is corrected by one of
us, let not the other extend to it the
least condolence or sympathy.’
‘ln that also you have my hearty
concurrence.’
‘Let us never correct a chi and in a
passion.’
‘The propriety of that rule I fully
admit, but I fear that I shall not al
ways be able to conform to its requisi
tions. I will, however, endeavor to do
so.’
‘Well, if you will do your best I
sh*ll be satisfied.’
‘Let us, as far as it is practicable,
introduce among our childreu the uni
versally admitted principles of good
government among men.’
'That is a very indefinite rule,, hus
band. 1 know very liitle of the prin
ciples of good government among men,
and much less of. those principles
which are universally admitted.’
‘Well, I will be a little more specific.
I believe it is universally admitted that
laws should precede punishment, anti
that none should be punished who are
incapable of understanding the law.—
In accordance with these principles I
would never punish a child who is in
capable of distinguishing between
right and wrong, nor until he shall be
forewarned of the wrong and taught
to avoid it.”
‘These principles seem very reasona
ble to me,” said Eliza, ‘but they never
can be applied to children. If you do
not correct a child until it is old
enough to learn from precept the dif
ference between right and wrong,
there will be no living in the house
with it for the first five or six years of
its life, and no controlling it after
wards.”
Gilbert received these views of his
wife with some alarm, and entered
upon a long argument to couviuoe her
that they were erroneous. She main
tained her own very well, but Gilbert
had certainly the advantage of her in
the argument. All he could say, how
ever, did not in the least shake her
confidence in her opinion.
I was at length appealed to, and I
gave judgment in favor of Gilbert.
‘Well,’ said she, ‘I was never better
satisfied of anything in my life than I
am that you are both wrong. But let
us compromise this matter. I’ll agree
to this; if ever I Current a child before
it is old enough to receive instruction
from precept, and you do not approve
of my conduct, I will then promise you
never to do the like again.’
‘Well,’ said Gilbert, ‘that is very fair.
One mofe rule will settle the funda
mentals, and we may safely trust all
others to future auju tmeut. Let us
never address our children iu the non
sensical gibberish that is so universally
prevalent among parents, and particu
larly among mothera It is very silly
in the first place, and it greatly re
tards a child's improvement in the
second. Were it not tor this 1 have
no doubt children would speak their
mother tongue as correctly at four
years okl ■ a they do at sixteen.’
Eliza smiled* and ob erved that this
was such a small matter that it had
also better be left to future adjust
ment. To this Gilbert reluctantly as
sented.
About two mouths after this con
versation Gilbert was ‘‘ blessed” witu a
fine son, whom he named John James
Gilbert, itlier the two grandfathers
and himself—a profusion of names
which he had cause afterwards to re
"pent.
Just fourteen months and six days
thereafter he was “blessed” with a fine
daughter, whom Eliza named Auna
Francis Eliza, after the two grand
mothers and llorself.
Fifteen months thereafter he re
ceived a third blessing, like unto the
first, which he called George Henry,
after his two brothers.
Thirteen months and nine teen days
after the birth of George, a fourth
blessing descended upou Gilbert, in
the form of a fine son. This took the
name of William Augustus, after two
brothers of his wife.
Eliza now made a long rest of nine
teen months, four days and five hours
(I speak from the fcunily record,)
w hen, by way of amends, she present
ed her husband a pair of blessiugs.—
As soon as bis good fortune was made
known to him, Gilbert expressed re
gret that he had not reserved his own
name until now, in order that the
twins might bear his name and mine.
Seeing this could not be done, he be
stowed my name on the first born, and*
gave me the privilege of naming the
second. As I considered “a good
name rather to be chosen than great
riches,” I called the innominate Isaac
—after the patriarch, and a beloved
uncle of mine. •
In this very triumphant and lauda
ble manner did Mrs. Butler close the
list of her sons.
She now turned her attention to
daughters, and in the short space of
five years produced three that a Queen
might have been proud of. Their
names, in order of their births, were,
Louisa, Rebecca, and Sarah. It was
one of Mrs. Butler’s maxims, ’lf you
have anything to do, do it at once,’
and she seemed to have been governed
by this maxim iu making up fier fami
ly, for Sarah completed the number of
her children.
John ivas about n year old when I
was again at Gilbert’s for the evening.
He was seated by the supper-table
with the child iu his arms, addressing
some remarks to me, when I called bis
attention to the child, who was just in
the act of putting its fingers into the
blaze of the caudle. Gilbert jerked
him away suddenly, which so disap
pointed and incensed Master John
James Gilbeifc that he screamed insuf
ferably. Gilbert tossed him, patted
him, valked him, and whistled to him,
but he could not detract his attention
from the candle. He removed him
out of sight of the luminary, but that
only made matters worse. He now
commenced his first lesson in the ‘prin
ciples of good government.’ He
brought the child towards the candle,,
and the nearer it approached the
more pacified it became. The child
extended its an. s to catch the blaze,
and Gilbert bore ii slowly towards the
fiame untiL the hand came nearly iu
contact with it, when he snatched it
away, crying ‘Bunny finnies!’ which is
by interpretation, ‘You’ll burn your
fingers.’ Eliza and I exchanged smiles,
but neither of us said anything.
The child construed this into wan
ton teasing, and became, if possible,
more obstreperous than ever. Gilbert
now resorted to another expedient.—
He put his own fingers into the blaze,
withdrew them suddenly, blew them,
shook them, and gave every sign of
acute agony. This not only quieted
but delighted the child, who signified
to him to do it again. He instantly
perceived (what was practically de
monstrated the minute afterwards)
that the child was putting a most dan
gerous interpretation upon his last
illustration. He determined therefore
not to repeat it. The child, not satis
fied with the sport, determined to
repeat it himself,, which the father op
posing, he began to reach and cry as
before. There was but one experi
ment left, and that was to let the
child feel the flame a little. This he
resolved to try, but how to conduct it
properly was not so easily settled. It
would not do to allow the infant to
put his hand into the blaze, because it
would either burn it too little or too
much. He therefore resolved to direct
the hand to a poiut so near the flame
that the increasing heat would induce
the cJuild to withdraw his hand him
self. Accordingly he brought the ex
tended arm slowly towards the flame,
the child becoming more and more
impatient with every moment’s post
ponement of its gratification, until the
hand became within about an inch of
the wick, when he held the child sta
tionary. But John would not let his
band remain stationary, nor at the
chosen point. He kept snatching at
the candle, till finding all his efforts
fruitless, he threw himself violently
back, gave his father a tremendous
thump ou the nose with the back of
lib head, and kicked and screamed
most outrageously.
‘You little rascal,’ said Gilbert, ‘l’ve
a good mind to give you agtpd spank
mg.’
‘Give him to me,’ said Mrs. Butler.
‘You’d better not take him,’ said
Gilbert, in an under tone, ‘while ho is
in such a passion.’
‘No danger,’ said she; ‘hand him to
me.”
As she received him, ‘hush, sir/ said
she sharply, and the child hushed in
stantly and was asleep in a few min
utes.
‘Strange, ’ said Butler, ‘bow much
sooner the mother acquires control
over a child than the father.’
‘Not at all,’ said Mrs. Butler. ‘You
would have controlled him as easily as
I did if you had given him the same
lesson before hand that I gave him.—
He got in just such an uproar the oth
er day, and finding nothing else would
quiet him, I spanked it out of him, and
i nave had Lio trouble *ti quieting- hirti
since.’
I begin to think, Butler,’ said I,
j ‘that Eliza was right iu the only points
l of difference between you touching the
j management bi elnhlran. I observed
that yon addressed the child just now
in the gibberish which you so much
condemned before ) ou became a father;
and though it semed ridiculous enough,
especially in you, I think it would have
appeared still iwore ridiculous il yon
hud said so a child so young,, ‘Joiiu,
uiy son, do not pm your lingers into
the flame of the caudle, k will bury
them.’ And your experiment has
taught you the absolute impossbility
of governing children oi very tender
years by prescribed rules.’
‘I am half inclined to your opinion,’
said Butler. Etoza’s disci pi hie has
performed several good officers, it
has relieved us of John’s insufferable
noise, it has taught him to controll
his temper at its first upj earauccyand
it has learned him the meaning of a
word (‘hush’) w hich will oiteii supply
the place of correction, and always
forewarn of desires unlawful
However, this case is an exception to
my rule rather than a refutation of it.
,Affcer a child gets old enough to un
derstand the language of msuucuou,
he should always be preiuomsked be
for he is punished.’
Eliza again joined issue with him,
and an argument ensued in which GiU
bert silenced his wife as before, but
with no better effect upon her judg
ment The matter was referred, to iue,
and 1 decided this time in favor qf? the
wife; rather upon the doctrine of cn »n
--ces than of dialectics.
Gilbert now squared himself for an
argument a little more obstinate than
that from which he had just come off
victorious. After waiting a reasonable
time, ‘Well,’ said he, ‘proceed.’
‘Proceed where?’ said I.
‘With your reasons.!
’l’ve got no reasons/ said I, ‘ex
cept that your wife thinks so.’
‘Well, really,’ returned he, ‘that is
very profound, and proves you feo>be
the best judge for the decision of iny
wife’s controversies that she could se
lect.’
‘There may be more sound philoso
phy in it,’ rejoined I, ‘than at first
sight appears. Your wife has already
proved herself to be a better- judge of
these matters than both of us put to
gether; and I think I understand why
it is so. She has lmd ten times the ex
perience iu them that we have had,-
Her habits of iife have been domestic;
she has seen children of all- ages and
under all cireu Distances, and from six
teen to twenty-three she supplied her
mother’s place iu her father’s family.’
‘A pretty handsomo retreat,' said-
Gilbert
Long before the second son arrived
at the reasoning age Gilbert abdicated
unreservedly in favor of his wife, con
tenting himself with the subordinate
station of her ministerial, officer, in
which he executed her orders in cases
requiring more physical strength than
she possessed..
Passing over the intermediate peri
od, I now introduce the reader to this
family after most of the children had
reached the ‘age of reason.’ In con
templating the scene which lam aboub
to sketch, he will ue to turn
bis thoughts occasionally to Gilbert’s
‘principles of good government.’
Sarah was about two ydars and a
half old when Gilbert invited me to
breakfast with him, one 'December
morning near the Cunstimis holidays.
It was the morning appointed for his
second killing of bogs; which, as the
Southern reader knows, it is sort, of
family carnival iu Georgia. I went,,
and found ill the children at home,
and Gilbert’s mother added to the
family circle. John and Anna Lau
reached the age when they were per
mitted to take seats at the first table;
though upon this occasion. John,be
mg engaged about the poik did nos
avail bimscif of this pmihge. The
rest of the children were taught to
wait for the second table. Breakfast
was announced; and, after the are its
and Anna had dispalched their meal,
the children were summoned. As
they had been taught not to seat them
selves at the table until bidden, and a*
there were some preparatory arrange
ments to be made, they ail gathered
around the fire, clamorous with thee
events of the morning.
4 By jdekfiy," said William, ‘didn’t
that oia black barrer weigh a heap T
‘Look here, young gentleman,’ said
his mother, ‘where did you pick up
such language us that V Now let ,iue
ever hear you ‘by-jokeying/ or by-tug
anything else again, and i ll ‘by-jokey’

‘But the black barier,’ said George,
‘didn’t weigh as much to his size ua
the Jbob tail speckle, though.’
‘He did.*
‘He didn’t.’
‘Hush your drspulifag this instant!
stop it [ You shah not contradict eacii

At this instant William snatched a
pig-tail out of Isaac’s liana.
,Ma/ yelled Isaac, ‘make Bill gi’ me
muh tail’
‘You William ! give him his—thing..
And if I was near you I'd box your
ears for snatching that—Mr Butler,
