"Opium or death ~
This brief sentence was fairly hissed
into the ear of prominent druggist on
Vine street by person who, few
years ago well off is to day a hopeless
wreck.
One can scarcely realize the sufferings
of an opium victim. De Quincy has
vividly portrayed it. But who can fifty
describe the Joy of the rescued victim !?
81. G. Wilson, of Loveland, O.. for
merly with March, Harwood & Co.,
manufacturing chemists of st. Louis,
and of the veil known firm of II. G.
Wilson f Co., chemists, formerly of this
city, gave our reporter yesterday bit of
thrilling personal experience IN this line.
81 have crawled over red hot bars of
iron and Goals of fire." he said, "in my
agony during an opium frenzy. The
very thought of my sutferings freezes my
blood and chills my bones. | was then
eating over SO grains of opium daily"
Chow did you contract the habit r
Excessive business cares broke me
down and my doctor prescribed opium
That is the way nine tenths of cases com
mence. When / determined to stop,
however, L found l could not do it.
'You may be surprised to know" he
said, ''that two -ffths of the slaves OF
morphine and opium are physicians
Many of these I 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 demoralized condition of
those organs; that the hope Of a cure
depended entirely upon the degree of
UigOr aOhich could be impaired to them.
/ have seen patients, while undergoing
treatment, compelled TO resort to opium
again to deaden the horrible pain in those
organs. l marvel how I ever escaped"
"Do you mean to say, Mr.. Wilson,
that you have conquered the habit ?"
Indeed ] have"
"Do you Object to telling me howf"
"No, sir. Studying the matter with
several opium eating physicians, we be-
came satisfied that the appetite for opium
was located IN the kidneys and liver.
Our next object was to find a specific for
restoring those organs to health. The
physicians, much against their code,
addressed their attention to certain
remedy and became thoroughly con-
viEced on its scientific merits alone that
it was the only one that could be relied
upon in every case of disordered kidneys
and liver. l thereupon began using it
and, supplementing it with my own
special treatment, finally got fully over
the habit. l may say that the most i'm
portant part of the treatment is to get
those organs first into good working con
dition, for in them the appetite originates
and is sustained, and i'll them over ninety
per cent of all other human ailments
originate.
''For the last seven years this position
has been taken by the proprietors of that
remedy and finally it is becoming an ac
knowledged scientific truth among the
medical profession; many OF them, how
ever, DO not openly acknowledge it, and
yet, knowing they have no other scientific
specific, their code hot allowing them to
use it, they buy it upon the quiet and
prescribe it in their own bottles.
Gas l said before, the opium and NOR
phine habits car never be cured until
the appetite for them is routed out of
the kidneys aud liver. 1 have tried
neutrality-suspicious. with every.
thing and as the result of my studies and
investigation, | can say l knO,O nothing
can accomplish this result but Warner's s
safe cure.
"Have others tried your treatment %
eyes sir, many; and all who have fol-
lowed it fully have recovered. Several
of them who did not first treat their kid
neys and liver for six or eight weeks, as
l advised them, completely failed. This
form of treatment is always insisted upon
for all patients, whether treated by mail
or at the Loveland Opium Institute, and
supplemented by our special private
treatment, 1t Arrays cures"
Mr.. Wilson stands very high wherever
known. His experience is only another
proof of the wonderful and conceded
| power of Warmers safe cure over all dis
| eases of the kidneys, liver and blood, and
| the diseases caused by arrangements of
| those organs. We may say that it is
very flattering to the proprietors of
| Warmers safe cDre that it has received
the highest medical endorsement and,
after persistent study, it is admitted by
scientists that there is nothing in materia
! medica for the restoration of those gfeat
| organs that equals it in power. We take
| pleasure in publishing the above state :
ments coming from so reliable a source
as Mr.. Wilson and confirming by personal
experience what we have time and again
| published in our columns. We also ex-
| tend to the proprietors our hearty con-
graduation on the results wrought.
