went when the chains of alcoholism were
all around me, cannot refrain from
publicly hcralding TO the world that ut
last | am free from the bonds, having
severed the fetters that rendered me
almost helpless wreck, aud the insati-
able desire | once possessed for alcoholic
stimulantsa thing II the past Through
the earnest solicitation Of numerous
friends who were untiring In their per.
suasions, consented Ia try your treat
ment, as il seemed cowardly IA well ~
ungratcful 10 refuse. Accordingly, on
Sept ~, commenced the treatment.
When ! entered your Sanitarium, must
confess did 80 with some apprehcusious,
though from what standpoint | scarcely
know myself, for was and am fully
acquainted with the high standing Of all
the gentlemen who are interested In the
institution At the time | commenced
your treatment, as you are NIL aware,
my whole nervous system was ~ shatter.
eli that | could, only with difficulty,
follow my vocation.-that Of n printer
| suffered almost nightly from palpita-
ton Of the heart, and my sleep (if sleep
II could be called) was attended with
some Of the most beautiful, but oftener
with the most ludicrous, scenes and
sounds possible for the imagination 81
man 10 conjecture. The ''oircus pro-
gramme" as | had learned To refer TO
these strange things (only within myself)
varied according 10 the amount OF whisky
and beer had consumed before retiring,
which was just rs likely 30 be ON some
ones door step as at my boarding place.
} Sleep did not refresh me. My appetite
was irregular aud often ariifcial--in fact,
felt and was wreck upon the borders
Of an unknown sea, apparently without
oar or rudder. But, thanks 10 Providence
aud my kind friends, found life boat
when ! entered the Tyson Sanitarium,
aud | can now smoothly sail by the
terrible abyss, into which, at one time,
| seemed doomed To fall. Only those
who have been rescued from the perils Of
. d,ssipated life eau enter fully into my
feelings Of JOY and gratitude, for had
almost given up ~ dependency, with no
hope but the present moment In which
lived, or solace, except IN the wine cup.
took your Tyson cure faithfully every
hour, while awake, for twenty'ono days,
aud from about the fourth day began
,, to lose my desire for whisky. and a. day
| feel that am thoroughly aud porma.

utter ruin, assuring YOU that shall ever
