When cocaine was discovered inc rnedi- cal world exclaimed thank heaven I"
 But useful as 1t is, it is also dangerous. especially when it's use is perverted from the deadenins of pain for surgical opera- tons to the stimulation and destruction of the human body. Its first effects are soothing and captivating, but the thrall- dom is ths most horrible slavery known to humahity.
 L. Stephens, A. D., of Lebanon. O. was interviewed by our reporter yester- day at the Grand Hotel, and during the conversation the doctor said: "The CO., caine habit IS thousand times worse than the morphine and opium habits, aud you would be sstonished, !" he said, If you kusN how frightfully the habit is increasing"
 What are its efscts?"
 'It Is the worst constitution yrecker ever known. lt ruins the liver and kid neys in half year, and when this work is done the strongest constitution soon succumbs."
 "po you know oi Dr. Underhill's case here in Cincinnati 2"
 That leading physician who became . victim of the cocaine habit2 Yes Hs case was a very sad one, but the habit can be cured. l have rescued many A man from a worse condition"
 What, worse than Dr. Underhil'sw
 Indeed, sir, far so. Justin Nj. Hall, A. M, Fl. D.. president of the State Board of Health of Iowa, and a famed practitioner, and Alexander Neil, M. b.. professor of surgery in the Colum bus Medical College, and president of the Academy of Medicine, a man widely known, Rev. W. r. Clancey. of Indian apolis. Ind, from personal experience in opium eating, etc, can tell you of the kind of success our form of treatment wins, and so can H. c. Wilson, formerly of Cincinnati, who is now associated with me"
 Would you mind letting our readers into the secret of your methods ?"
 Well, young man, you surely have a good bit of assurance 10 ask man to give his business away 10 the public {; but l won't wholly disappoint you. l have treated over 20,0O0 patients. In common with many eminent physicians, l for years made 8 close study Of the et- fects of the habits on the system and the organs which they most severely attack Dr. Hall, Dr. Neil and Mir Wilson, whom l have mentioned, and hundreds of others equally as expert, made many similar experiments on their own behalf. We each found that these drugs worked most destructively in the kidneys and liver; m fact, finally destroyed them. IL vas then ap- parent that no cure could be effected until those organs could be restored 10 health. We recently exhausted the en- tire range of medical science, experi- menting with all known remedies for these organs, and as the result of these close investigations we all substantially agreed, through following different lines of inquiry, that the most reliable scien- tific preparation was Warmers safe cure. This was the second point in the discOy- cry. The third was our own private form of treatment. which, of course, We do not diYulge 10 the public. Every case that we have treated first with Warmers safe cure, then with our own private treatment, and followed up gain with WarneT's S safe cure for few weeks, has been successful. These habits can't be cured without using 1t, because the habit IS nourished sustained and ID the liver and kidneys. The habit can be kept up in moderation, however, if free use be also made, at the same time, of that great remedy"
 "Yes, it is a world famed and justly celebrated specific. Like many other physicians, used to dsride the claims made for 1t, hut know now for fact that it is the worlds greatest blessing, having sovereign power over hithe.to in- curable diseases of the kidneys and liver, and when have said that, y0uag man, have said nearly everything, for most diseases originate in, or are aggra- vsted by, deprsved condition of the kidneys"
 People do not realize this, because, singular as Il may seem, the kidneys may be in very advanced stage of de- composition, and yet, owing to the fact that there are but a few nerves of sensa- ton in them, the subject will not experi- ence much pain therein. On this account thousands of people die every year of kidney disease unknowingly. They have so-called disorders of the head, of the heart and lungs and stomach, and treat them in vain, for the real cause of their misery is deranged kidneys, and if they were restored to health the other disorders would soon disappear"
 Dr. Stephens experience, that can be confirmed by many thousands whom be has treated, adds only more emphasis to the experience of many hundreds oi thousands all over the world, that the remedy he refers 10 is without any doubt the most beneficent discovery ever given 10 humanity.
