''Opium or death!''
This brief sentence was fairly Kissed
into the ear of prominent druggist on
Vine street by a person who, few
years ago well off is to-day a hopeless

One can scarcely realize the suffer

III. c. Wilson, of Loveland, o., for
merly with March, Harwood & Co..
manufacturing chemists, of St. Louis,
and of the well known firm of IL. C
Wilson & Co., chemists, formerly of
this city, gave our reporter yesterday
bit of thrilling personal experience in
this line.

agony during an opium frenzy. The
very thought of my sutferings freezes
my blood and chills my bones. l was
then eating over 80 grains of opium
daily"
.'How did you contract the habit?"
Excessive business cares broke me
down and my doctor prescribed opium.
That is the way nine-tenths of cases
commence. When | determined to
stop, however, found could not do ID.
.'You may be surprised to know"
he said, "that two-ffths 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 appetite
was developed and sustained; that no
victim was free from demoraliZed con-
dition of those organs; that the hope

do you mean to say, Mr.. Wilson,
that you have conquered the habitP"

became satisfied that the appetite for
opium was located in the kidneys and
liver. Our next object was to find
specific for restoring those organs to
health. The physicians, much against
their code, addressed their attention to
certain remedy and became thor
oughly convinced on its scientific
merits alone that it was the only one
that could be relied upon in every case
of disordered kidneys and liver.
thereupon began using it and, supple
menting it with my own special treat
ment, 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 condi-
ton, for in them the appetite originates
and is sustained, aud in them over
ninety per cent of all other human all
ments originate"
For the last seven years this posi-
ton has been taken by the proprietors
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 to use it,
they buy it upon the quiet and pre-
scribe it in their own bottles"
LAS | said before, the opium and
morphine habits can never be cured
until the appetite for them is routed
out of the kidneys and liver. | have
tried neutrality-suspicious. with
everything and as the result of my
studies and investigation, l can say l
kno10 nothing can accomplish this re-
suit but Warner S safe cure.
Have others tried your treat
ment?''
Yes sir, many; and all who have fol-
lowed 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 always insist
ed upon for all patients, whether treat
ed by mail or at the Loveland Opium
Institute, and supplemented by our spe-
cial private treatment, al Arrays cures.
Mr. Wilson stands very high WHEREBY
er known. His experience is only an
other 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 arrangements of those or
gans. We may say that it is very
ilattering to the proprietors of War
ner's safe cure that it has received the
highest medical endorsement and, af-
ter persistent study, it is admitted by
scientists that there is nothing in mate
ria medica for the restoration of those
great organs that equals it in power.
We take pleasure in publishing the
above statements coming from so reli-
able a source as Mr.. Wilson and con-
frming by personal experience what
we have time and again published In
our columns. We also extend to the
proprietors cur hearty congratulations
on the results wrought.
