AN OPIUM EATERS STORY
Crawling Over Red Hot Bars of IRON IA
His Fearful Frenzy-A Scientific InveS-
tigation and Its Results.

"Opium or death"
This brief sentence was fairly Kissed into
the ear of prominent druggist on Vine
street by person who, few years ago
well off is to-day a hopeless wreck!
One can scarcely realize the sufferings Of
an opium victim. De Quincy has wildly
portrayed it. But who can fifty describe
sne joy of tho rescued victim:
II. c. Wilson, of Loveland, O., formerly
with March, HARDWOOD & Co., manufacture
! ing chemists of st. Louis, and of the we'll
known firm of H. c. Wilson & Co., chem
ists formerly of this city, gave our report
| er yesterday bit of thrilling personal ex-
| perience in this line.
"Ihave crawled over red hot bars of iron
| and Goals of fire., he said, Gin my agony
during an opium frenzy. The very thought
| of my suffering freezes my blood and chills
my bones was then eating over thirty
grains of opium daily"
Chow did you contract the habit?"
| Excessive business cares broke me down
and my doctor prescribed opium! That's
the way nine-tenths of cases commence:
| When | determined to stop, however, l
found could not do 1t.
| You may be surprised to know" he

phine and opium are physicians. Many of

demoralized condition of those organs; that
the hope Of a cure depended entirely upon the

"Do you mean to say, Mr.. Wilson, that
you have conquered the habit:'

"No, sir. Studying the matter with sew
eral opium-eating physicians, we became
satisfied that the appetite for opium was
located in the kidneys and liver. Our next

much against their code, addressed their
attention to a certain remedy and became
thoroughly convinced on its scientific
merits alone that it was the only one that
could be relied upon in every case OF dis
ordered kidneys and liver. l thereupon
began using it and, supplementng it with
my own special treatment, finally got fully
over the habit. | may say that the most
important part of the treatment is to get
those organs first into good working condl-
ton, for in them the appetite originates
and is sustained, and in them over ninety
per cent of all other human ailments orig
inate.'
"For the last seven years this position
has been taken by the proprietors of that
remedy and finally it is becoming an ae-
knowledged scientific truth among the
medical profession; many of them, how
ever, do not openly acknowledge it, and

use it, they buy it upon the quiet and pre-

LAS I said before, the opium and NOR

appetite for them is routed out OF the KID

result of my studies and investigation, l

them who did not first treat their kidneys

the Loveland Opium Institute, and supple

MIR. Wilson stands very high wherever
| known. His experience is only. another
g proof of the wonderful and conceded power
of Warmers safe cure over all diseases OF
the kidneys, liver and blood, and the dis
eases caused by arrangements of those
| organs. We may say that it is very Halter

there is nothing in materia medica for the
