that the most good can be accomplished

lam 80 years OF age, lawyer by pro-
fession. I began this habit By drinking
moderately, and SO continued until nearly
| forty Years of age, the habit becoming
| more fixed year By year. Yet while real
! izing the danger, TO its fullest extent, OF
| continuing this habit, and permitting il
TO grow upon me, l did not come within
/ the exception to the we'll known rule;
but for several years just prior to
taking treatment from Dr.. Huntzinger,
| drank with marked regularity; the q ian
tity being limited only by my capacity. i
| might here say that only those who have
| had the experience l have had, can fully
| comprehend this last remark On account OF
the magnitude of its subject matter. My
! personal appearance was so changed and
marked that my friends whom / would
| meet but occasionally hardly recognized
| me, and looking at myself could with
| difficulty realize that l was myself, or the
same man; in fact l was not. nv face,
hands and body were greatly pulled, and
| swollen. Whenever ! had an appetite II
| was an unnatural one became extreme
| ly nervous. so much so that | could only
write my signature, and it barely eligable;
! this however was generally attributed to
/ the fact that l was member of the legal
profession. | could not sleep for hours at
time, nor could / begin my work in the
morning until had gotten up the steam.
| have since learned that my friends pitied
me and my deplorable condition but re-
| garded the matter Of too delicate a nature
/ TO personally speak to me on the subject,
| Had 1t not been for one who had the law
/ full wright to be, to me, much more than a
/ friend could be, | would TODAY have been
| the being never designed by nature and not
myself. l resolved to quit drinking by
/ taking a course Of teatment for my dis
essed condition, as l would for any
| other dangerous or fatal disease that
was suffering from accordingly.
| submitted myself TO Dr. Huntzinger's
| treatment for period of less than four
weeks During this time l was not con-
! fined to my room at any time, nor did
| Use IN hours time from my business. The

nit to u rigid cross-examination, which
was always willingly conceded. The con
clusion | then arrived at, and opinion
now hold, is that the treatment given by
All these Institutes having acquired some
considerable reputation and standing Is
very effective and complete. Yet the sue
cess OF the treatment very largely depends
upon the men in charge. No one should

tiou OF manager OF any institute VINO is
not, himself, learned and skilled physi-
clan, having experience in this particular
line OF his profession. There Is no ques-
ton but mistakes are some times made on
account Of ignorance, negligence or care
lessuesS and may result the same As in the
treatment Of any other disease. From my
observation l believe that the treat
msnC at some OF the lnsti
tutes IS entirely too radical and
severe, iDjuriously affecting the patients
general health, requiring much time TO
restore that which mad unnecessarily been
