THE COCAINE HABIT.
The Worst Slavery Known-New
Revelations of Power.

Cincinnati Times Star.
When cocaine was discovered the med
cal world exclaimed, THANK heavenp
But useful as it is, it is also danger Gus,
especially when its use is perverted from
the deadening of pain for surgical OPP
erations, to the stimulation and destruc-
ton of the human body. Its first effects
are soothing, and captivating but the
thralldom is the most horrible slavery
known to humanity.
J. l.. Stephens, M. D., of Lebanon, O.,
was interviewed by our reporter ysster-
day at the Grand Hotel and during the
conversation the doctor said: "The CO.
caine habit is thousand times worse than
the morphine and opium habits, and you
would be astonished," he said, "if you
knew how frightfnlly the habit is increas-
ing"
what are it's effects ?"
lit is the worst constitution wrecker
ever known. 1t ruins the liver and kid
neys in half year, and when this work is
done, the strongest constitution soon
succumbs."
"Do you know of DIR. Underbill's case
here in Cincinnati ?"
"That leading physician who became a
victim of the cocaine habit. Yes. His
case was very sad one, but the habit
can be cured. / have rescued many
man from a worse condition"
what, worse than DR.. Underhill's ?"
Indeed, 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, NJ. D., professor of
surgery in the Columbus Medical Col
lege, 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 Ell. G.
Wilson, formerly of Cincinnati, who is
now associated with me-"
"Would you mind letting our readers
into the secret Of your methodist"
well, young man, you surely have a
good bit of assurance to ask man to
give his business away to the public; but
| won't wholly disappoint you. have
treated over 10000 patients. In common
with many eminent physicians, 1 for
years made close study of the effects OF
the habit 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, equal
ly as expert, made many similar exper-
iments on their own behalf. We each
found that these drugs worked most de-
structively on 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 en-
tire range of medical science, experiment.
ing with all known remedies for these or
gans, and as the result of these close in
vestigations we all substantially agreed,
though following different lines of in
quiry, 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. Every case that
we have treated first with Warmers safe
cure, then with our own private treat
ment, and followed up again with War
ner's safe cure for 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
moderation, however, if free use be also
made, at the same time, of that REMEDY"
"Yes, it is world famed and Justly eel
oUTdbcu bp6CluC LIKE many OGD6r p0y-
siciane, used to deride the claims made
for it, but know now for fact that it is
the worlds greatest blessing, having SOY.
ereign power over hitherto incurable dis.
eases of the kidneys and liver, and when
l have said that, young man, / have said
nearly everything, for most diseases origi
nate in, or are aggravated by, depraved
condition of the kidneys"
"People do not realize this, because
singular as it may seem, the kidneys ma,
be in very advanced stage of decompo
sition, and yet owing to the fact that there
are but few nerves of sensation in then
the subject will not experience much pair
therein. On this account thousands Of
people die every year of kidney disease un
knowingly. They have so called disor
ders of the head, of the heart and lung.
and stomach, and treat them in vain, TO
the real cause of their misery is derapged
kidneys and if they we're restored t.
health the other disorders would sool
disappear"
DR.. Stephens experience, that can b.
confirmed by many thousands whom h
has treated, adds only more emphasis t.
the experience of many hundreds o
thousands all over the world, that the rem
edy he refers to is without any doubt th,
most beneficent discovery ever given tx
humanity.
