THE COCAINE HABIT.
The Worst Slavery KnOun-Sew Revelations OF
Power.

When cocaine was discovered the medical
| world exclaimed "thank heaveni"
But useful as it is, 10 is also dangerous es-
| pecially when its use is perverted from the
deadening of pain for surgical operations to
the stimulation and destruction of the human
body. Its first effects are soothing and capti-
waiting, but the thrsldom is the most horrible
slavery known to humanity.
j. l.. Stephens, NJ d., Of Lebanon, o., was
| interviewed by our reporter yesterday at the
Grand Hotel, and during the conversation the
Doctor said: 1.-The cocaine habit is thousand
times worse than the morphine and opium
habits, and you would be astonished," he said,
IF you knew how frightfully the habit is in
creasing."
"What are its effects?"
at is the worst constitution wrecker ever
known. IL ruins the liver and kidneys in half
| year, and when this work is done, the strong
est constitution soon suceumbs."
:" Do you know of DIR. Underhill's case, here in
Cincinnati?"
THAT leading physician who became a VIC
tim Of the cocaine habit? Yes His case was
a very sad one, but the habit can be cured
have rescued many man from worse condi-
ton"
"What, worse than Dr. UnderhilPs?"
Indeed, sir, far so. Justin NJ. Hail. A. NJ
NJ d., president of the State Board of Health
of Iowa, and famed practitioner and Alex
ander Neil, NJ. d., professor of surgery in the
Columbus Medical College, and president of the
Academy of Medicine, 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 III. c. Wilson,
formerly of Cincinnati, who is now associated
with me-"
Would you mind letting our readers into
the secret of your methodist"

bit OF assurance, to ask man to give his bust
ness away to the public; but / won't wholly
disappOint you. / have treated over 10000
patients. In common with many eminent
physicians l for years made a 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 have
mentioned, and hundreds of Others equally
as expert, made many similar experiments on
| their own behalf
1--WE each found that these drugs worked most
destructively in the kidneys and liver; in fact
finally destroyed them. 1t was then apparent
| that cure could be effected until those or
| gans could be restored to health. We recently
exhausted the entire range of medical science
experimenting with all known remedies for
| these organs, and as the result of these close
investigations we all substantially agreed
though 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 pri-
| vate form of treatment, which. of course, we do
not divulge to the public. Every case that we
have treated first with Warmers safe cure, then
with our own private treatment and followed
up again with Warmers safe cure for a few
weeks, has been successful. These habits can't
be cured without using it, because the habit is
nOurished and sustained in the liver and kid
neys. 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 world famed and Justly ceIe-
| brated specific! Like many other physicians,
i used to deride the claims made for it. but
know now for fact that it is the worlds great
| est blessing. having sovereign power over
| hitherto incurable diseases of the kidneys and
liver, and when i have said that, young man,
| have said nearly everything. for most diseases
originate in, or are aggravated by, depraved
| condition of the kidneys.
People do not realize this, because, singular
as Ii may seem, the kidneys may be in very
advanced stage ofdecomposition, and yet, owing
to the fact that there are but few nerves of
sensation in them, the subject will not expert
| ence much pain therein. On this account
thousands of people die every year of kidney
disease unknowingly. They have socalled dis
| orders of the head, of the heart and 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 dis
orders would soon dsapper."
| DIR. Stephens's experience, that can be con-
| frmed by many thousands whom he has treated,
adds only more emphasis TO the experience 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.
