the causes OF more unhappiness, misery and
heartaches than all other agencies com
bined. Mothers spend days of anguish,
and weep over the fact that a once dutiful
son, or a lovable daughter have fallen
victims 20 this dreadful scourges with
little hope of their restoration. These two
diseases verify may be called twin devils,
capable of generating aud spreading an
unreasonable amount OF misery and IN
happiness throughout the world
As has been said, for years these two
habits or diseases have had the study of the
woflds greatest specialists, among whom
may be classed DR.. B. NJ. Woolley, one Of
Atlanta's leading citizens. He is a man
gray headed now, and has devoted his en-
tire time 10 the study OF the effects OF

whenever he has anything to say in refer
ence to the matter, the public may have tho
assurance that IL is the result of years of
constant thought and q lifelong practice
DIR. Woolley has been living in Allan tn
nearly quarter OF a century, and has built
up practice that is probably the largest of
its kind in America. Personally speaking.
he Is philanthropist, having given his life
TO the relief of suffering humanity. he is
prominent member OF the Trinity NJ T.
church, south, in this city, and probably
does as much gratuitous work as any pbysi-
clan in the United States.
1t has been said the works OF a good
man praise him. and verify is this true in
DIR. Woolley's case. He has letters and
testimonials from every civilized nation,
bearing the glad news OF the effectiveness OF
his remedies in restoring to perfect man
hood and womanhood those who were once
afflicted with the opium and whisky dis
eases. If all the testimonials, letters and
endorsements he has received were put in
book form, it would tako volumes and
volumes TO contain them.
There is one thing about DIR. Woolley's
treatment that is different from most
specialists in this line, and that is he don't
believe that the opium and whisky affect
people as a habit, but as a disease. 1t is
wholly unnecessary to 90 into the logic OF
this matter. His reasons are simple and
plain He considers them diseases, Just as
much so as fever or smallpox is a disease,
and the cause must be eradIcated from the
system, else the patient will inevitably die
from the effects of them. II a person had

best nurses and the most careful diet are
furnished. Every sympathy, every atten-
ton is given to such a person, and justly
so, too. Fever is disease and is frequent
ly fatal On the other hand, opium and
whisky drinking are diseases, yet instead
OF having that sympathy and that encour-
agement given to the person that is
afflicted with fever, he receives nothing
but curses, SCOTS and yituperation, is
kicked out, and, Of course, not one in a
thousand is ever cured by that means. 1t
is Dr. Woolley's firm belief that sympathy
and encouragement is as much necessary
in the treatment of these diseases as it is in
any other, and the physician or specialist
who fails to give them lacks great re
storative element
The fact that DIR. Woolley has been so
eminenty successful in curing thousands
of people all over the civilized world,
warrants this assertion.
In order that the people may see and
know of his treatment of these diseases in
every particular, he has, at great expense.
