THE COCAINE HABIT.
Tn Worst Slavery knOwn-Ncw Reveln
 lations of Power.

Cfncinnati Tfn,es.svar.
 When cocaine was discovered the me1iCa world exclaimed thank heaven.'
 But useful as 1t is, it is also dangerous, es pecially when its use is perverted from tn deadening of pain for surgical operations to the stimulation and destruction of the human body. Its first effects are soothing and cap tivating, but the thraldom is the most hor. rible slavery known to humanity.
 J. L. Stephens, M. D., of Lebanon, O., was interviewed by our reporter yesterday at the Grand Hotel, and during the conver- sation the doctor said: "The cocaine habit is thousand times worse than the morphine and opium habits, and you would be aston ished," he said, Eff you knew how frightfully the habit is increasing"
 What are it's effects!'
 Ut is the worst constitution wrecker ever known. 1t ruins the liver and kidneys in half year, and when this work is done the strongest constitution soon succumbs."
 '.Do you know of Dr. Underhilps case here ill Cincinnati!'
 That leading physician who became a was very sad one but the habit caa be cured. have rescued many a man from worse condition"
 What, worse than Dr. Underhill's?'
 Indeed, sir, far so Justin M Hall A. M, M. D., president of the State Boari of Health of Iowa, and famed practitioner, anl Alexander Neil, M. D., professor of sur gerry in the Columbus Medical College and president of the Academy of Medicine. a man widely known, Rev. w. r. Clanceysof Indi- ana oils, lnl., 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-" wv ould you mind letting our readers into the secret of your methods."
 wv ell, young man, you surely have good bit of assurance to ask a man to give his bus mess away to the public; but won't disap- nt,,tU I loxy %ol tients In common with many eminent phy- sicians, 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 Mir. Wilson, whom have | mentioned, and hundreds of others equally on their own behalf. We each found that these drugs worked most destructively in the kidneys and liver; in fact, finally destroyed them. It was then apparent that no cure could be effected until those organs could be restored to health We recently exhausted the entire range of medical science experi- menting with all known remedies for these organs, and as the result of these close inves- legations we all substantially agreed. though following different lines of inquiry, that the most reliable scientific prepa- ration, was Warmers safe cure. This was the second point in the discovery. The third was our own private form of treat ment, which, of course, we do not divulge to ' first with Warmers tfe cure. then with our own private treatment, and followed up again with Warmers safe cure for @ few weeks, has been successful. These habits can't be cured without using it. because the habit is nourished and sustained in 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 world famed and justly cee- brated specific! Like many other physicians I used to deride the claims made for it. but know now for fact that it is the worlds greatest blessing, having sovereign power over hitherto incurable diseases of the kidneys and liver, and when I have said that, young man, have said nearly every thing, for most diseases originate in, or are aggravated by, depraved condition of the kidneys"
 ''Feople do not realize this, because, singu- lar as it may seem, the kidneys may be in q very advanced stage of decomposition, and yet owing to the fact that there arc 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 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 de- ranged kidneys, and they were restored to health the other disorders would soon dis appear.
 Dr. Stephens's experience, that can be con- firmed by many thousands whom he has treated, adds only more emphasis to the ey- perience of many hundreds of thousands all over tho world, that the remedy he refers to is without any doubt the most beneficent discovery ever given to humanity.
