Cincinnati Times.Star.
When cocaine was discovered tho
medical world exclaimed "thank
heavenl"
But useful as it is, it is also danger
GUS, especially when it's use is per-
verted from the deaden,ng Of pain for
surgical operations, to the stimula-
ton and destruction of the human
body. Its first effects are soothing
and captivating, but the thraldom is
the most horrible slavery known to
humanity.
J. L. Stephens, NJ. D., of Lebanon,
O., was interviewed by our reporter
yesterday at the Grand Hotel, and
during the conversation the doctor
said: 'The cocaine habit is a thou
sand times worse than the morphine
and opium habits, and you would be
astonished," he said, If you knew
how frighttully the habit is increas.
ing"
"What are it's efects?"
"lt Is the worst constitution wreck
er ever known. It ruins the liver and
kidneys in half q year. Andwhen the
work is done, the strongest constltu-
ton soon succumbs.''
"Do you know of DR.. UnderhilPs
case here in Cincinnati?"
'That leaning physician who be-
came 9 victim of the cocaine habit?
Yes. His case was very sad one,
but the habit can be cured. have
rescued many q man from a worse
condition"
"What, worse than DIR. UnderhilPs?"
Indeed, sir, far so. Justin NJ. Hall,
A. NJ, N. b.. president of the State
Board of Health, of Iowa, and FAM
ed practitioner, and Alexander Neil,
NJ. D., professor OF surgery in the Co.
lumbus Medical College, and president
OF the Academy of Medicine, a man
widely known, Rev. w. P. Clancy of
indianapolis, Ind, from personal ex-
perience in opium eating, ETC.,, can tell
you OF the kind OF success our torn of
treatment wins, and so can H. C. Viii.
son, formerly of Cincinnati, who is
now associated with me-"
"Would you mind letting your read
ers into the secret of your methodist"
swell, young man, you surely have
good bit of assurance to ask a man
to give his business away to the pub
lie; but l won't wholly disappoint
you. have treated over 5000 pa
tlents. In common with many emf
nent physicians, I, 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
experiments on their own behalf. We
each found that these drugs worked
most destructively in the kidneys and
liver; in fact, finally destroyed them.
1t was then apparent that no cure
could be effected until these organs
could be restored to health. Werecent-
lyexhausted the entire range of medical
science, experimenting with all known
remedies for these organs, and as the
result of these close Investigations we
all substantially agreed, though follow
ing different lines OF inquiry, that the
most reliable scientific preparation,
was Warmers Safe Cure. This was the
second point in the Discovery. The
third was our own private form of
treatment, which, of course, we do not
divulge to the public. Every case that
we have treated first with Warmers
Safe Cure, then with our own private
treatment, and followed up again with
Warmers Safe Cure for a 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, iffree
use be also made at the same time, OF
that great remedy"
Eyes, it is q world famed and Justly
celebrated specific! Like many other
physicians, used to deride the claims
made for it, but I know now for a.
fact that it is the worlds greatest
blessing, having sovereign power over
hitherto incurable diseases of the kid
neys and liver, and when / have said
that, young man, have said nearly
everything, for most diseases origin
ate in, or areaggravated by, a deprav-
ed condition Of the Kidneys"
"People do not realize this, because,
singular as it may seem, the kidneys
may be in very advanced stage OF
decomposition, and yet owing to the
fact that there are 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 stom.
ach, and treat them in vain. for the real
cause of their misery is deranged kid
neys and if they were restored to
health the other disorders would soon
disappear"
DR.. Stephens experience, that can
be confirmed by many thousands
whom he has treated, adds only more
emphasis to the experience of many
hundreds of thousands all over the
world, that the remedy he refers to is
without any doubt the most bene6-
cent discovery ever given to human
ity.
