THE COCAINE HABIT.
The Worst Slavery Known-New Revela-
tions of Power.
Cincinnati Times Star.


When cocaine was discovered the medt
cal world exclaimed s'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 OF
the human body. Its first effects are sooth-
| ing and captivating, but the thralidon is
| the mcss horrible slavery known to hu-
manity.
| j. L. Stephens, II. 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 hhbit is thousand times worse than
! the morphine and opium habits, and you
| would be astonished' . he said ''if you
| knew how frghtfully the habit is increas-
ing
| What are its effectss''
1t il the worst constitution wrecker
| ever known. 1t RUNS the liver and kid
| neys III half year, and when this work is
done. the strongest constitution soon sue
| cuubs.n
do you know Of Dr.. Underhiil'S case
here in CincinnaUs'
| 'That leading physician who became a
! victim of the cocaine habit: Yes. lis
| case was q very sad one bui the habit can
| be cured. l have rescued many a man
! from worse condition"
Indeed, sir, far so. Justin NJ. Hall, A.
| NJ, NJ. d.. president of the State Board OF
! Health of Iowa, and q famed practitioner,
and Alexander Neil, IL. d., professor OF
surgery in the Columbus Medical College,
| and president of the Academy Of Medicine.
| man widely kno wl, Rev. w. p. Clancy,
Of indianapolis, lad. from personal ex-
| perlence iii opium eating etc. can tell you
/ OF the kind of success our form or treat
nent wins, aud so can IL. c. Wilson, for
nlerly OF Cincinnati, who is now asso-
ciated with lne.'
Would YOU mind letting our readers
! into the secret OF your methodist
Well, young man. YOU surely have
| good bit of assurance to ask a man to give
his business away to the public; but
won't wholly aisappoint you. l have
! treated over % 600 patients. In common
/ with many eminent physicians. !, for
| years made a 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 |
| 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,
! and as the result of these close investiga-
/ tions we all substantially agreed, though
! following different lines OF inquiry, that
4 the most reliable, scientific preparation,
/ was Warner's 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.
4 Every case that we have treated first with
| Warmers safe cure, then with our own
/ private treatment, ami followed up again
4 with Warmers safe cure for 2 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 he kept up il mod
/ Grafton. however, if free use be also made,
| at the same time, Of that great remedy"
+, "Yes, it is a world fame and justly cell
! ebratc Il specific. Like many other physi-
! dams, / used to daride the claims made for
/ it, but | know now for fact that it is the
| worlds greatest blessing, having sovereign
power over hitherto lncurabe diseases Cf
! the kidneys and liver. and when | have
| said that, youug man, have said nearly
every thing for most diseases originate in
/ or are aggravated by Il Gepraysd condi-
! tion of the Kidneys
''People do not realize tai'. because,
| singular as it may seem, tie kidneys may
| be in e very advanced stage OF decompos.s
! tion. and yet owing to the fact that there
/ are but few nerv of sensation in them
| the subj 9ct will not experience much pain
! therein. On this account thousands of peo-
! pie die overy vaar of kidney disease un-
! knowingly They have SO called disorders
! of the head of the heart and lungs and sJom-
! ach and treat them in vain, fo1 the real
! cause OF their misery is deranged kidneys
| and il they were restored to health the 9th
| er disorders would soon disappear"
] Dir. Stephens's experience that can be
/ confirmed by many thousands whom he
| has treated adds only more emphasis TO
| the experience of many huDdreds of thou
| sands all over tho world, That toe remedy
| he refers to is without any doubt the most
| bsnedcent discovery ever given T. hu-
| manity.
