"Opium or death !"
This brief sentence was fairly hissed
into the ear of a prominent druggist
on Vine street by a person WHO, few
years ago well off is today hopeless
wreck.
Ore can scarcely realize the suffer
ings of an opium victim. De Quincy
has viv,dly por rayed it. But who can
fitly describe the joy of the rescued
victim?
II. G. Wilson, of Loveland, 20,
formerly with March Harwood & Co.,
manufacturing chemists of St. Louis,
and of the well-known firm of III. G..
Wilson Il Co, chemists, formerly OF
this city, gave our reporter yesterday
bit of thrilling personal experience

"You may be surprised TO know"
he said, 'that two-tifths of the slaves
of morphine and opium are physicians.
Many of these I met. We studied our
cases carefully. We found out what
the organs were in which the appetite
was developed and sustained; that no
victim was free from demoralized
condition of those organs; that the hope

while undergoing treatment, compelled
to resort to opium again to deaden the
horrible pain in those organs | mar

"Do you mean to say, Mr.. Wilson,
that you have conquered the habitF
"Indeed l have.'
"Do you object to telling me how y
"No, sir. Studying the matter with
several opium eating physicians, we be-
came satisfied that the appetite for
opium was located in the kidneys and
liver. Our next object was to find a
specific for restoring those organs to
health. The physicians, much against
their code addressed their attention TO
certain remedy and became thorough
ly convinced on its scientific merits alone
alone it was the only one that could be
relied upon in every case of disordered
kidneys and liver. thereupon began
using it and, supplementing it with my
own special treatment, finally got full
over the habit. l may say that the
most important part of the treatment
is to get those organs first into good
working condition, for in them the
appetite originates and is sustained,
and in them over ninety per cent of all
other human ailments originate"
"For the last seven years this
position has leen taken by the proprie
tors of that remedy and finally it is be-
coming an acknowledged scientific
truth among the medical profession /;
many of them however, do not openly
acknowledge it, and yet, knowing they
have no other scientific specific, their
code not allowing them 10 use it, they
buy it upon the quiet and prescribe it
in their own bottles"
"As l said before, the opium and
morphine habits can never be cured
until the appetite for them is routed
out of the kidneys and liver l have
tried everything,-experimented with
everything and as the result of my
studies and investigation, l can say l
hno,c nothing can accomplish this re-
suit but Warmers safe cure
"Have others tried your treatment ?"
"Yes sir, many and all who have
followed it fully have recovered.
Several of them who did not first treat
their kidneys and liver for six or eight
weeks, as advised them, completely
failed. This form of treatment Is al
ways insisted upon for all patients,
whether treated by mail Or at the Love-
land Opium Institute, and supplement
ed by our special private treatment, IL
Arrays cures"
Mr.. Wilson stands very high wher-
ever known. His experience is only
another proof of the wonderful and con.
ceded power of Warmers safe cure over
all diseases of The kidneys, liver and
blood, and the diseases caused by de-
rangements of those organs We may
say. that it is very flattering to the
proprietors of Warner safe cure that il
has received the highest medical en-
dorsement and, after persistent study,
it is admitted by scientists that there
is nothing in materia medica for the
restoration of those great organs that
equals it in power We take pleasure
in publishing the above statemants
coming from so reliable source as Mr..
Wilson and confirming by personal ex-
perience what we have time and again
published in our columns. We also
extend to the proprietors our hearty
congratulations on the results wrought.
