THE COCAINE HABIT.
The Worst Slavery known-New Revelations
OF Power.
Cincinnati Timss-Stsr

When cocaine was discovered the med.
zeal world exclaimed "thank heayenr
But useful as If Is, it is also dangerous,
especially wheu its use is perverted from
the deadening of pain for surgical opera
tions, to the stimulation and destruction
OF the human body. Its first effects are
soothing and captivating, but the .hrall-
dom is the most horrible slavery known
to humanity.
j. l.. Stephens, ". D., of Lebanon, O.,
was interviewed oy our reporter yester-
day at the Grand Hotel, and during the
conversation the doctor said: The CO.
calAe habit is a thousand times worse
than the morphine and opium habits. ana
you would be aStonished," he said. IF
you knew how frightfally the habit is in
creaSipg."
What are its efectss"
1t Is the worst constitution wrecker
ever known. 1t ruins the liver and kid
neys in half year, and when this work
Is done, the strongest constitution soon
succumbs."
DO you know of DR.. Underhin's case
here in Cincinnati?"
THAT leading physician who became Il
victim of the cocaine habit? Yes. His
case was very sad one, but the habit can
be cured. l have rescued many man
from a worse condition"
"What, worse than DR.. Underhilrsg"
Indeed, sir, far so. Justin NJ. Hall. A.
NJ, NJ. D., president of the State Board
of Health of Iowa, and a famed practi-
toner, and Alexander Neil, NJ. D.. profes-
sor of surgery in the Columbus Medical
College, and president of the Academy of
Medicine, a man widely known, Rev. w.
P. ClaRcey, of Indianapolis, Ind, from
personal experience in opium eating, etc.
can tell you of the kind of success our
form of treatment wins, and so can II. c.
Wilson, formerly of Cincinnati, who is
now associated with me-"
Would you mind letting our readers
into the secret of your methodist"
well, young man, you surely have q
good bit of assurance to ask a man to
give his business away to the public; but
| won't wholly disappoint you. l have
treated over 10000 patients. In common
with many eminent physicians, 1, 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 Mr.. Wilson, whom l
have mentioned, and hundreds of others,
equally as expert, made many similar ex-
periments on their own behalf. We each
found that these drugs worked most de-
structively in the kidneys and liver; in
fact, finally destroyed them. 1t was then
apparent that no cure could be effected
until those organs could be restored to
health. We recently exhausted the en-
tire range of medical science, expert
menting with all known remedies for
these organs, and as the result of these
close Investigations We all substantially
agreed, though following different lines
of inquiry, that the most reliable scienti-
hc preparation, was Warmers safe cure.
This was the second point in the discov-
cry. The third was our own private form
of treatment, which, of course, we do not
divuge to the public. Every case that
we have treated first with Warmers SAT
cure, then with our own private treat
ment, and followed up again with War
ner's 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 i'll
moderation, however, if free use be also
made, at the same time, of that great
remedy
Yes, it is world famed and Justly
celebrated specific! Like many other
physicians, L 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 in
durable diseases of the kidneys and liver,
and when 1 have said that, young man, l
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 very advanced stage of decom-
position, and yet owing to the fact that
there are but few nerves of sensation in
thom 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
hsart and lungs and stomach, and treat
them in vain, for the real cause of their
unisery is dcraugcd kidneys and if they
were restored 10 health the other disor-
ders would soon disap pear"
DR.. Stephens's experience, that can be
confirmed by many thousands whom he
has treated, adds only one more empha
sis 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.
