When cocaine was discovered the medi
cal world exclaimed "thank heaven!"
But useful as it is it is also dangerous
especially when its use is perverted from
the deadening of pain for surgical opera
tions. to the stimulation and destruction o.
the human body. Its first effects are sooth
ing and captivating, bat the thralldom il
| the most horrible slavery known to hui
maulty.
j. L. Stephens, NJ 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 a thousand times worse than
this morphine and opium habits, and you
would be astonished,' he said, "if you

THAT leading physician who became a
victim of the cocaine habit! Yes. His
case was a very sad one, but the habit can
be cured. | have rescued many man

of indianapolis, Ind, from personal ex-
perience in opium eating, etc, can tell you
of the kind of success our form of treat

Would you mind letting our readers
into the secret of your methods"
Well, young man, you surely have a
good bit of assurance to ask a man to give
his business away to tle public; but
won't wholly disappoint you. I have
treated over 10000 patients 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. DIR.
Hall, DR.. Neil and Mr.. Wilson, whom
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 entire |
range OF medical science, experimenting |
with all known remedies for these organs, |
ard as the result of these close investiga-
tions we all substantially agreed, though |
following different lines of inquiry, that
the most reliable, scientific preparation,
was Warmers safe cure. This was the sec
ond point in the discovery. The third was
our own private form of treatment, which,
of course, we do not divulge to the public
