especially When its use is perverted from
the deadening of pain for surgical opera

of the human body. It's first effects are
soothing and captivating, but the thrall.
dom is the most horrible slavery known
to humanity.
J. l.. stephens, NJ. D., of Lebanon, o.,

day at the Grand Hotel, and during the
conversation the doctor said: THE Co

"Do you know of DR.. Underhins case
here in Cincinnati?"
"That leading physician who became a
victim of the cocaine habitY Yes. His
case was very sad one, but the habit can

from worse condition"
"What worse than DIR. Underhill's?'
"Indeed, sir, far so. Justin NJ. Hall, A.

of Health of Iowa, and famed practi-
toner, and Alexander Neil, NJ. D., profess

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 II. O.

now associated with me-"
"Would you mind letting our reader1
into the secret of your methodist"
"Well, young mum, you surely have
/ good bit of assurance TO ask man TO
| give his business away TO the public; but
l won't wholly disappoint you. I have
| treated over 10000 patients. In common
with many eminent physicians, /, for
| years made a close study of the effects of
| the habits on the system and the organs
which they most severely attack, DIR.
! Hall, DR.. Neil and Mr.. Wilson, whom l
! 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 mort de-
! structively in the kidneys and 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 en-
tire range of medical science, expert
menting with all known remedies for
these organs, and as the result of these
close Investigations we all substantially
agreed, though following different lines
of inquiry, that the most reliable scienti
fc preparation, was Warmers safe cure.
This was the second point in the discov-
cry. 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 SAT Q
cure, then with our own private treat
ment, and followed up again with War
ner's safe cure for a 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 great
remedy"
Yes, it is Il world famed and Justly
celebrated specific! Like many other
physicians, / used to deride the claims
made for it, but l know now for a fact
that it is the worlds greatest blessing,
having sovereign power over hitherto in
durable diseases of the kidneys and liver,
and when 1 have said that, young man, /
have said nearly everything, for most
diseases originate in, or are aggravated
by, depraved condition of the kidneys"
"People do not realize this, because,
singular as it may seem, the kidneys may
be in n very advanced stage of deoom-
position, and yet 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
thousands of people die every year of
kidney disease unknowingly. They have
so called disorders of the head, of the
hsart and lungs and stomach, and treat
them in vain, for the real cause of their
misery is dersnged kidneys and if they
were restored to health the other disor-
| ders would soon disappear"
DR.. Stephens's experience, Shat can be
confirmed by many thousands whom he
has treated, adds only one more empha
sis to the experience 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.
