THE COCAINE HABIT.
Tho Worst Slavery Known-New Revela-
tionS of Power.
Cincinnati Times Star.

| Cincinnati Times Star.
When cocaine was discovered the medi-
| cal world exclaimed "thank heavenp'
But useful as it is, it is also dangerous,
| especially when its use is perverted from
the deadsning 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, M. D., of Lebanon, O.,
| was interviewed by our reporter yester-
| day at the Grand Hotel, and during the
| conversation the doctor said: 1.-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 frightfully the habit is increas-
.ngn
"What are its effects2"
at is tho 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 sue
cumbs."
'Do you know of DIR. Underhilrs case
here in Cincinnatip'
That leading physician who became
victim of the cocaine habits Yes. His
case was very sad one, but the habit can
| be cured. l have rescued many q man
| from a worse condition.
"What, worse than DR.. Underhill's9"
Indeed, sir, far SO. Justin ii. Hall, A.
| NJ, NJ. 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 College,
and president of the Academy of Medicine,
| man widely known, Rev W. P. Clancey,
CT indianapolis Ind, from personal ex-
perience in opium eating, ETC., can tell you
| of the kind of success our form of treat
nent wins, and SO can Il. c. Wilson, for
morly of Cincinnati, who is now asso-
Gated with me-"
Would you mind letting our readers
| into the secret OF your methodist"
| Well, young man, you surely have q
| good bit of assurance to ask man to give
his business away to the public; but
won't wholly disappoint you. / have
| treated over 1000 patients. In common
with many eminent physicians, l, for
| years made close study of the effects of
| tho habits on tho 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-
s;Sdctively in the kidneys and liver; in
fact, finally destroyed them. 1t was then
| apparent that no cure corld be effected
until those organs 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 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 i'll 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 O 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
| Grafton, however, if free uss be also made,
| at the same time, of that great remedy"
eyes, it is a world famei and justly cell
ebrated specific! Like many other physi-
clans, used to deride the claims made for
| it, but know now for a fact that it IS the
worlds greatest blessing, having sovereign
| power over hitherto incurable diseases of
the kidneys and liver. and when have
said that, young man, l have said nearly
everything. for most diseases originate in,
or are aggravated by, a depraved condi-
ton of the kidneys.n
"People do not realize this, because,
! singular as it may seem, the kidneys may
| be in a very advanced stage of decomposi-
ton, and yet owing to the fact that there
are but few nerves of sen sation in them
| the subject will not experience much pain
| therein. On this account thousands of peo-
pie die every year of kidney disease I'M
knowingly. They have so called disorders
of che head, of the heart and lungs and stom-
ach, and treat them in vain, for the real
cause of their misery is derange kidneys
and if they were restored to health the 9TH
| er disorders would soon disappear"
| DR.. Stephens's experience, that can be
confirmed by many thousands whom he
has treated, adds only more emphasis to
thu experience Of many hundred; of thou
sands all over tho world, that the remedy
he refers to is without any doubt the most
beneticent discovery ever given to hui
| mainly.
