When cocaine was discovered the
me1ical world exclaimed "thank heav.
en-
But useful as il is, it is also danger.
Gus, especially when its use is pervert-
ed from the deadenng of pain for sur
gical operations, TO the stimulation and
destruction OF the human body. It's
first effects are soothing aud captva-
ting, but the thralldom is the most hor-
rible slavery known to humanity
j. H. Stephens, M. d., of Lebanon,
., was interviewed by our reporter
yesterday at the Grand Hotel, and dur
ing the conversation the doctor said
'The cocaine habit is thousand times
worse than the morphine and opium
habits, and you would be astonished,'
he said, 'if you knew how frigbtfully
the habit is increasing"
"What are its effects? 2"
''lt is the worst constitution wrecker
ever known. 1t ruins the liver and
kidneys in half year, and when this
work is done, the strongest constitution
soon succumbs.'
''Do you know of DR.. Underhill's
case here in Cincinnatil"
"That leading physician who be-
came a'victim of the cocaine habit ?
Yes. His case was very sad one,
but the habit can be cured. | have
rescued many man from worse con-
dition."
"What, worse than DR.. UnderhillsY ?"
'lndeed, 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, NJ ID.
professor of surgery in the Columbus
Medical College, and president of the
Academy of Medicine, man widely
known, Rev. w. p. Clancey of Indian
apolis, Ind, from personal experience
inopium eating, ETC., can tell you of
the kind of success our form of treat
ment wins, and so can II. c. Wilson,
formerly of Cincinnati, who IS now as
sociated with me"
"Would YOU mind letting our read
ers into the secret of your methods ?"
"Well, young man, you surely have
a good bit of assurance TO ask a man
to give his business away to the pub
lie; but | won't wholly disappoint you.
l have treated over 10000 patients.
In common with many eminent pbysi-
clans, l, for years made close study
OF the effects of the habits on the sys-
tenn and the organs which they most
severely attack. DR.. Hall, DR.. Neil
and Mr. Wilson, whom l have men,
toned, and hundreds of others, equally
as expert, made many similar expert
ments on their own behalf. We each
found that these drugs worked most
destructively in the kidneys and liver
in fac. finally destroyed them. 1t was
then apparent that no cure could be
effected until those organs could be re-
stored to health. We recently exhaust
ed the entire range of medical science,
experimenting with all known remedies
for these organs, and as the result of
these close Investigations we all sub
stantially agreed, though following diff
ferent lines of inquiry, that the most
reliable, scientific preparation, was
Warmers safe cure. This was the
second point in 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 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 also be made, at the same time, of
that great remedy"
''Yes, it is world famed and Justly |
celebrated specific Like many other
physicians, / used to deride the claims |
made for it, but know now for fact |
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 oy, depraved condit- |
ion of the kidneys"
"People do not realize this, because sin
gular as it may seem, the kidneys may
be in very advanced stage of decompo-
sition, 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 nnknowingly. They
have so 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 deranged kidneys and
ii they were restored to health the 9th
er disorders would soon disappear"
DIR. Stephens's experience, that can
be confirmed by many thousands whom
he has treated, adds only 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
