THE COCAINE HABIT.
The Worst Slavery Known-New Revela- tions of Power.
Cincinnati Times Star.

When cocaine was discovered the medi- cal world exclaimed "thank heavenw
 But useful as it is, it is also dangerous, especially when its use is perverted from the deadening of pain for surgical opera tions. to the stimulation and destruction of the human body. Its first effects are sooth- ing and captivating, but the thralldom is the most horrible slavery known to hu- manity.
 J. L. Stephens NJ D., of Lebanon, O., was interviewed by our reporter yeSter- day at the Grand Hotel, and during tho conversation the doctor said: "The CO., caine habit is a thousand times worse than the morphine and opium habits, and you would be astonished," he said, Eff you knew how frightfully the habit is increas- ing.n
 "It is the worst constitution wrecker ever known. It ruins the liver and kid neys in half year, and when this work is done, the strongest constitution soon sue cumbsn
 "Do you know of Dr. Underhill's case here il Cinciunatim
 "That leading physician who became g victim of the cocaine habit! Yes. His case was a very sad one, but the habit can be cured. l have rescued many man from a worse condition"
 What, worse than Dr. Underhill'sm
 "1ndeed, sir, far so. Justin M. Hall, A. NJ, M D., president of the State Board of Health of Iowa, and famed practitioner, and Alexander Neil, M. D., professor of surgery in tho Columbus Medical College, and president Of the Academy of Medicine, man widely known, Rev. W. P. Clancey, Of Indianapolis, Ind, from personal eX- perience in opium eating, etc, can tell you of the kind of success our form of treat ment wins, and so can H. c. Wilson, for merly of Cincinnati, who is now asso- ciated with me-"
 "Would you mind letting our readers into 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. l have treated over 5000 patients. In common with many eminent physicians, l, for years made close study of the effects Of the habits on the system and the organs which they most severely attack. Dr. Hall, Dr. Neil and Mr. Wilson, whom I have mentioned, and hundreds of others, equally as expert, made many similar ex- periments on their own behalf. We each found that these drugs worked most de- structively in the kidneys and liver; in fact, finally destroyed them. It was then apparent that no cure could be effected until those organs could be restored to health. We recently exhausted the entire TdnR6 Ol ul6ulCdl SCl6nCe, with all known remedies for these organs, and as the result of these close investiga- tions we all substantially agreed, though following different lines of inquiry that the most reliable, scientific preparation, was Warmers safe cure. This was the sec ond point in the discovery. The third was our own private 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 kidneys. The habit can be kept up in mod eration, however, if free use be also made, at the same time, of that great remedy"
 "Yes, it is a world famed and justly eel ebrated specified Like many other physi- clans, l 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 incurab!e 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, a depraved condi- tion of the kidneys"
 People do not realize this, because, singular as it may seem, the kidneys may be in a very advanced stage of decomposi- tion, 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 peo- pie die every year of kidney diseaSe un- knowingly. They have so called disorders of the head, of the heart and lungs and stom- ach, and treat them in vain, for the real cause of their misery is deranged kidneys and if they were restored to health the oth- CT disorders would soon disappear"
 Dr. StephenS's experience, that can be confirmed by many thousands whom he has treated, adds only more emphasis to the experience of many hundreds of thou sands all over the world, that the remedy he refers to is without any doubt the most beneficent discovery ever given to hu- manity.
