THE COCAINE HABIT.
| Th Worst Slavery Known-Now Rovoln-
latious of Power.
Cincinnati Ti1les-Stdr.

CINCINNATI 1tnleS-StGT.
When cocaine was discovered the medical
world exclaimed thank heaven!n
But useful as it is it is also dangerous, es-
pecially when its use is perverted from the
deadening of pain for surgical operations, to
the stimulatino and destruction of the human
body. Its first etfe:ts are soothing and cap
tivating, but the thraldom is the most hor-
rible 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 conver-
sation the doctor said: /" The cocaine habit
Is thousand times worse than the morphine
and opium habits, and you would be aston
ished,n he said, "if you knew how frightfully
the habit is increasing"
"What are its efectsr
"It is the worst constitution wrecker ever
known. 1t ruins tie liver and kidneys in
half year, aud when this work is done, the
strongest constitution soon succumbs."
"Do you know Of DR.. Underhilps case here
in Cincinnati!"
'That leading physician who became a
victim of the co :aine habit! Yes. His case
was very sad one, but the habit can be
cured l have rescued many man from
worse condition"
Indeed, sir, far So Justin NJ. Hall, A.
NJ, NJ. D., president of the State Board OF
Health Of Iowa, and famed practitioner,
and Alexander Neil, M. D., professor Of sur
gerry in the Columbus Medical College, and
president of the Academy of Medicine, a man
widely known, Rev. w. P. Clanceytof lndi-
anacolis, Ind, from personal experience IN
| opium eating, ETC., can tell you OF the klnd
so can H. G. Wilson, formerly of Cincinnati,
who is now associated with me-"
"Would you mind letting our readers into
| the secret of your methods"
well, young man, you surely have agood
| bit of assuran e to ask man to give his Dus-
mess away to the public; but l won't dlsap-
point you. I have treated over 10000 pa
| tients. In common with many eminent phy-
I sicians, 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 have
mentioned, and hundreds of others equally
rs expert, made many similar experiments
On their own behalf We each found that
these drugs worked most destructiyely in the
| kidneys aud liver; in fact, finally destroyed
them. 1t was then apparent that no cure
could be effected until those organs could be
restored to health. We recently exhausted
| the entire range Of medical scienCe, expert
menting with all known remedies for these
organs, and as the result of these close lnves-
LEGATIONS we all substantially agreed, though
| following different lines Of inquiry,
that the most reliable, scientific prepn-
ration, was Warmers safe cure. This
was the second point in tho discovery.
| The third was our own private form OF treat
ment, 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 few
weeks, has been successful. These habits
ant 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, ct the same time, OF that great
remedy"
"Yes, it is a world famed and justly cele-
brated specific! Like many other physicians,
| I used to deride the claims made for it, but
| know now for fat that It IS the worlds
greatest blessing, having sovereign power
over hitherto incurable diseases Of the
kidneys and liver. and when l have said
that, young man, have said nearly every
/ thing, for most diseases originate in, or are
aggravated by, depraved condition OF the
kidneys"
"People do not realize this, because, singu-
lar as it may seem, the kidneys may be in
very advanced stage of decomposition, and
vet 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 tho lsands Of people die every year
of kidney disease unknowingly. They have
so o-called disorders Of the head, of the heart
and lungs and stomach, and treat them in
vain, for the real cause of their misery is de-
ranged kidneys, and they were restored to
health the other disorders would soon dis
br. Stephens's experience, that can be con-
| frmed by many thousands whom he has
treated, aids only more emphasis to the e9.
perience of many hundreds of thousands all
over the world, that the remedy he refers to
is without any doubt the most beneficent
discovery ever given to humanity.
