 When cocaine was discovered the medi' cal world exclaimed thank heaveni"
 But useful as it is, it is also dang rous, esperiaily when its use is perverted from the deadening of pain for surgical opera tions to the stimulation and destruction of the human body lis first effects are soothing and captivating, but the thrall- dom is the most horrible slavery known to humanity.
 J.L. stephens, M. D., of Lebanon, O., was interviewed bv olr reporter yesier- day at the Grand Hotel, and during the conversation the doctor said: "The CO., caine habit is thousand times worse than the morphine and opium habits, and yon would be ssionished,' he said, 'ff you knew how frighifully the habit is increasing.
 "What are its effects ?'
 'It i. the worst constitution wrecker ever known. It ruins the liver and kid news in half wear, and when this wOi k is done ihe strongest constitution soon succumbs."
 ID, vou know of Dr. Underhill's case here in Cincinnaii 9"
 That leading physician who became 8 victim oi the cocaine habit? Yes. His ease was q very sad one. but the habit can be cured. I have rrscued many A man from a worse condition"

 "Indeel, si-, far 90. Justin NJ. Hall, A. NJ, M D.. president of the state Roari oi Health of Iowa, and a famed practitioner, and Alexander Neil, M.

 Would you mind letting our readers into ti'e secret Of your me;hOds?"
 Well, yOun- man. you surely have . good bit Of assurance 10 ask A man to give his business away tO the public 1; but l won't wholly disappOInt you l have treated over 2l. 900 patients. In common with many eminent physicians, l for years made a close stu iy Of the ei- iects O. the habits on the system and the organs which they most severely attack Dr. Hall, Dr. Neil and Mr Wilson. whom I have mentioned. and hundreds Of others equally as eXpert made many similar experiments or their own behalf. We each found thd ihese drugs worked mCst dvstruCiively in the kidneys and liver; in iac,. fra Y destroyed them. IL was then aP parent tat TO CIre could he effected Fs health. w., recently exhausted the en- tire range Oi mrdira science. eXperi- msnting with all known remedies for these Organs. and as the result of these close investigations we all substantially igreeI, through following different ines of inquiry, that the nost reliable scien- life preparation was Warmers safe cure This was the second point in the discOv- cry. The third was our own priva'e form of treatment, which. Of coIr>s. We do not divulge to the public. Every ca-e that We have treated first with Warmers safe cure, then with our own privai, treatment. and followed up again with Warmers sale cur. for a few weeks. has been successful. These habits can't b. cured without using it. because the habit is nourished sustained and in the liver and kidneys. The habit can be kept up in moderation, however. ii free Use he also made. at the same time, oi that great remedy"

 People do not realize this, because singular as it may Seem. the kidney. may bs in a very advanced stage oi d,. composition, a-d vet. owing to the i.r that there are but a few nerves of seusa iion in them. th- subject will not exper. eucp much pain therein.
