When cocaine was discovered the medical
world exclaimed Thank heavenp
But userul as 1t Is, it is also dangerous, eSpe-
cially when its use is perverted from the deaden-
ing OF pain for surgical operations to the stimu-
latlon and destruction of the human body. Its
first effects are soothing and captivating but the
thralidom IS the most horrible slavery known to
humanity.
j. L. Stephens, NJ D., of Lebanon, o., was
interviewed by our reporter yesterday at the
Grand Hotel, and during the conversation the
Doctor said: THE cocaine habit is thousand
times worse than the morphine and opium hab-

constitution soon succumbs."

What worse than DR.. Underhill's?".
Indeed, sir. far so. Justin NJ Hall, A. NJ,

In common with many eminent physicians. for
years made close study of the effects Of the
habits on the system and the organs which they
most severely attack. DR.. Hall, DR.. Neil and

organs could be restored to health. We re-

incurable diseases of the kidneys and liver, and
when have said that, young man, have said
nearly everything, for most diseases originate
in, or are aggravated by, depraved condition of
the kidneys
people do not realize this, because, singular
as it may seem, the kidneys may be in a very ad-
vanced stage of decomposition, and yet owing to
the fact that there are but few nerves of
sensation in them the subject will not
experience much pain therein. On this
account thousands of people die every year of
kidney disease unknowingly. They have So

lungs, and stomach, and treat them in vain. for
the real cause of their misery is deranged kid

other disorders would soon disappear"
DR.. Stephens's experience, that can be con-
frmed by many Thousands whom he has treated,
adds only more emphasis to the experience of
many hundreds of thousands all over the world,
that the remedy he refers to is without any
doubt the most benefcent discovery ever given
to humanity.
