From the Cincinnati Times-Star.1
When cocaine was discovered the medical
world exclaimed "thank heavenl"
But useful as it is, it is also dangerous, es-
pecially when its use is perverted from the
deadening of pain for surgical operations tc
| the stimulation and destruction of the hu.
man body. Its first effects are soothing and
captivating, but the thraldom is the most
horrible slavery known to humanity.
J. L. Stephens, M. D., of Lebanon, O.,
| was interviewed by a reporter yesterday al
| the Grand Hotel, and during the converse
| a thousand times worse than the morphine
| and opium habits, and you would be aston
| ished, " he said, eff you knew how frightful
| ly the habit is increasing
''What are its effects?'
"It is the worst constitution wrecker ever
known. 1t ruins the liver and kidneys in
half a year, and when this work is done the
strongest constitution soon succumbs."
'Do you know of DIR. Underhill's case
here in Cincinnati?'
''That leading physician who became q
| victim of the cocaine habit? Yes. His case
| was very sad one, but the habit can be
cured. 1 have rescued many a man from q
worse condition"
''What, worse than DIR. Underhills?"
Indeed, sir, far SO. Justin NJ. Hall, A.
M, M. D., president of the State Board of
Health of Iowa and famed practitioner,
| and Alexander Neil, II. D., professor of sur
gerry in the Columbus Medical college and
president of the Academy of Medicine, a
man widely known, Rev. w. P. Clancy of
Indianapolis, Ind, from personal experience
in opium eating, ETC., can tell you of the
kind of success our form of treatment wins,
and so can b. G. Wilson, formerly of Gin
cinnati, who is now associated with me-"
ind LOTT irfo
the secret of your methodist"
"Well, young man, you surely have good
bit of assurance to ask man to give his
business away to the public; but l won't
wholly disappoint you. 1 have treated over
twenty Thousand patients. In common with
many eminent physicians, for years made
close study of the effects of the habits on
the system and the organs which they most
severely attack. DR.. Hall, DIR. Neil and Mr..
Wilson, whom 1 have mentioned, and hun
dreds of Others equally as expert, made
many similar experiments on their own be-
half. We each found that these drugs
worked most destructively in the kidneys
and liver; in fact finally destroyed them. It
was then apparent that no cure could be eff
fected until those organs could be restored
to health. We recently exhausted the en-
tire range of medical science, experim enting
with all known remedies for these organs,
and as the result of these close investiga-
following 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. Ev-
cry case that we have treated first with War
ner's Safe Cure then with our own private
treatment, and followed up again with War
ner's Safe Cure for a few weeks has been
successful. These habits can't be cured
without using it, because the habit is nour-
ished and sustained in the liver and kidneys
The habit can be kept up in moderation,
however, if free use be also made at the same
time of that great remedy"
''Yes, it is a world-faned and justly cele-
brated specific! Like many other physicians,
used to deride the claims made for it, but
know now for 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, 1 have said nearly everything,
for most diseases originate in or are aggrava-
ted by depraved condition of the kidneys"
"Peopls do not realize this because, singu-
lar 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,
lungs and stomach and treat them in vain,
for the real cause of their misery is deranged
kidneys, and if they were restored to health
the other disorders would soon disappear"
DIR. Stephens experience, that can be con-
6rmed by many thousands whom he has
treated, adds only more emphasis to the ex-
perience of many hundreds of thousands all
over the world, that the remedy he refers to
is without any doubt the most benefcent
discovery ever given to humanity.
