Investigation and It's Results.

This briefsentence was fairly Kissed
into the ear Of a prominent druggist
on Vine street by a person who,
few years ago well off is to-day a
hopeless wreck!
One can scarcely realize the suffer
ings Of an opium victim. De Quincy
has wildly portrayed it. But who
can fifty describe the joy Of the res
cued victim?
H. c. Wilson, of Loveland, o., for
merly with March, HARDWOOD & Co.,
manufacturing chemists of st. Louis,
and of the well known firm of H. C.
Wilson & Co., chemists, formerly Of

Excessive business cares broke

"You may be surprised to know"
he said, "that two-fifths of the slaves
of morphine and opium are physi-
clans. Many of these | met. We
studied our cases carefully. We
found out what the organs were in
which the appetite was developed
and sustained; that no victim was
free from a demoralized condition of
those organs; that the hope Of q cure
depended entirely upon the degree Of

"Do you mean to say, Mr.. Wilson,
that you have conquered the habit?"
Indeed | have"
"Do you object to telling me how"
"No, sir, Studying the matter
with several opium-eating physicians,
we became satisfied that the appetite
for opium was located in the kidneys
and liver. Our next object was. to
find a specific for restoring those or
gans to health. Thephysicians, much
against their code, addressed their at
tention to certain remedy and, be-
came thoroughly convinced on its
scientific merits alone that it was the

"For the last seven years this posi-

tors Of that remedy and finally it is
becoming an acknowledged scientific
truth among the medical profession;

they have no other scientific specific,
