The m ethOds of Treatment and

Chat with DIR. MOrrell-
The institutes.

the cure of the liquor, opium and tobac~
CO habits is now in complete readiness
for the reception Of patients. The insti>
tute is located in desirable and inviting
suite of rooms on the second floor of the
Bnford building corner of Second avenue
and Seventeenth street. "You can see,"
said DR.. F. A. Morrell to an ARGUS re-
porter Who dropped in this morning
more for the purpose of curiosity than
treatment. that we have already started
In fact. we have been doing bust ness for
about three days"
Have you received any patients yeti?
'Yes. we already have three patients"
the doctor replied, land they are doing
very nicely"
"What is the nature of the diseases of
these three?"
You use the correct word when YOU
speak of the trouble with so many men
coming under our care as disease. 1t
is such rathsr than habit. It is no
crime to be drunksrd-it is misfor-
tune. The diseases for which our pa
tients are being treated are one for liquor
and two for tobacco"
"Whst are your methods of treat
ment"
When patient first calls, we submit
him to thorough examination as to his
condition physically and morally,
and the probable requisites of
treatment. II we find his con-
dition is attributable to over indulgence
or dissipation. we prescribe three injec-
tons cay. and also give medicine in
ternally at regularly prescribed intervals'
The injections last three weeks, but the
tonic which restores the general system
to the condition it was in originally is
continued for at least seven weeks. We
take the best care of our patients and do
not discharge them until they are
thoroughly and properly cured"
Your main institute is to be in Rock
Island, is it notY'
Yes sir Rock Island is the headeuar-
tiers. though we maintain branch insti-
tutes at Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, indie
pendence and Ottumws."
The doctor unrolled bundle of cores
pondence, mainly testimonials from pa
tients who had been entirely cured of
| liquor, opium ana tobacco habits, and all
| speaking in the highest terms of the eff
fects of the Morrell treatment, one in
particular. Henry Rooney, ysrdman in
the employ of the Illinois Central at Du-
| buque, saying: "To all who are afflicted
with this disease Excessive drinking) 1
fully recommend the Morrell cure as one
that will not make you sick, nor cause
| any sore arms, but cures the disease for
drink, and build you up in every way
possible In fact feel that the cure is
little short of miracle"
"In Dubuque may say" remarked DR..
Morrell commenting on this letter. "the
temperance element was weak and we got
our greatest help from the saloon men.
AS a matter of fact many liquor dealers
have sem patients to us for treatment. We
have found heretofore that liquor men
have been as active as temperance people
sending us hopeless subjects for treats
ment. and in every case we have effected
a cure. Later, and after we have treated
a number of patients, we will be able to
present some of the indisputable evidence
of the unfailing efficacy of our reme-
dies"
