that alcohol Is not digested. II Is not TODD.

the doctor. were digested like soup, the
Kidneys and liver would extract from II its
poisonous properties as they extract the
Injurious salts IRON our food, aud this
poison would never reach the brain.
Once stimulated uunatUrally by poison
ous substance like whiskey, the nerve
cells call Tor larger and larger doses, till
By and by man can drink two quarts OF
whiskey or eat seventy grains OF morphine
a day. Cinchona rntrd stops the call i,.r

Does not red Peruvian bark and alec
hol both stimulate the nerve cells: Then
why can one cure the otherf" | asked.
We'll. alcohol is a fermented, distilled
stimulant, with poison In 1t, while my med
icine is natural stimulant, containing no
nerves, aud. not being poisonous, allays
inflammatlon-rtla j.. Il holds the cells
opei until the morbid deposit is forced out,
and the cells accustom themselves 10 re-
ceive their stimulus naturally through the
arteries. 1t stops all craving for alcohol.
Please explain the passage OF food and
poisoned alcohol 10 the brain again"
said.
We'll. when man drinks alcohol. il
goes. like electricity, straight TO the nerve
cells; thence to the eye Through the optic
nerve; then 20 the brain. making man
talk lively; then to the spinal centre, lin
bering the bacs; then To- the muscular
system; and when Il finally gets to the
stomach, he yomits. Food goes just the
opposite way. Food goes to the stomach
first. then into the heart, and finally
through the arteries to the brain
Then red Peruvian bark stimulates and
builds up the nerve cells until they begin
to receive nutrition from the bloodl"
Yes. that's 1t. The only credit claim
is making this discovery and discovering
the location OF the disease known a dip

How did you know that red chinchona
bark would cure drunkenness
We'll. first discovered it down In Ma
rylaud. twelve years ago. An account MAS
published In the .SuH at that time | hhd
case OF a drunkard, Bill Strvrrs. who also
had intermittent fever. l. was hard case
OF fever. aud so | tried red Peruvian bark
instead OF quiuine. TO my surprise It Iot
only cured h!s fever, but he never wanted
10 drink whisAey afierward. When he
went into n saloon and the boys asked him
to drink, Bill said:
II cam. boys. That dogon re,l bark the
doctor gave me not only Killed my fever,
but il spoiled all the wbiskcy ln Maryland
for me
What conspicuous cures iu Chicago
eau YOU refer to. Doctor:
We'll, DR.. =. B Noble he had the a.
cohoiic disease. His nerve cells were
poisoned. He was once President Of The
Illinois Dental Association. He got To De

beloved by every body. He trtcd r,d r.,
ruv.au bark three weeks sgo. He well

at his cure as a miracle. Dr Noble Knows
II was disease. and don't object to being
referred to
