"Opium or DEATH"
This brief sentence was fairly hissed into
the ear of a prominent druggist on Vine street
by person who, a few years ago well OF, IS
to-day hopeless wreck
One can scarcely realize the sufferings of
an opium victim De Quincy has vividly por-
trayed it. But who can fitly describe the joy
of the rescued victim2
Fl. c. Wilson, of Loveland, O., formerly
with March, Harwood g. Co., manufacturing
chemists of St. Louis, and of the well-known
firm Of H. c. Wilson & Co., chemists, for
merly Of this city, gave our reporter yester-
day bit OF thrilling personal experience in
this line.
'Ihave crawled over red hot bars Of iron

during an opium frenzy. The very thought Of
my sufferings freezes my blood and chills my
bones. was then eating over thirty grains
of opium daily"
How did you contract the habit?"
" Excessive business cares broke me down
and my doctor prescribed opiuml That is
the way nine-tenths Of cases commence.
When I determined to stop, however, l
found I could not do it.
You may be surprised to know" he said,
''that two-fifths Of the slaves of morphine and
opium are physicians. Many of these met.
We studied our cases carefully. We found
out what the organs were in which the appe-
tite was developed and sustained; that no
victim was free from demoralized condition
of these organs; that the hope of cure de-
pended entirely upon the degree of vigor
which could be impaired to them. / have

compelled to resort to opium again to deaden
the horrible pain in those organs. / marvel
how ever escaped"
"Do you mean to say, Mr.. Wilson, that
you have conquered the habit"
"Indeed have"
"Do you object to telling me howr'
"No, sir. Studying the matter with sew
eral opium-eating physicians, we became
satisfied that the appetite for opium was To-
ject was to find specific for restoring those
organs to health. The physicians, much
against their code, addressed their attention
to 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 dlsordered kidneys and liver.
! thereupon began using it and, supplement-
ing it with my own special treatment, finally

dition, 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
been taken by the proprietors Of that remedy,
and finally it is becoming 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 to use it, they buy it upon the

"As said before, the opium and morphine
habits can never be cured until the appetite

tried everything ing,-experimented with every
thing, and as the result of my studies and
investigation, can say knolU nothing can
accomplish this result but Warmers safe

"Have others tried your treatment!"

them who did not first treat their kidneys

them, completely failed. This form of treat

whether treated by mail or at the Loveland

special private treatment, it at'vays cures.

nothing in materia medica for the restora

personal experience what we have time ant
