The Worli Ha Changed.

In the grand march of progress
medical science has been no laggard,
and pre-eminent among its achievements
has been correct diagnosis OF the
liquor, morphine, and opium habits,
and the application of speedy remedy
in the Ensor cure, which acts with I'M
errng certainty. Where erst the par
tisans of the church, the Temperance
unions and Christian associations were
wont to direct the way to reclamation
through the efficacy of prayer and the
exercise Of will power, medical science
enters the arena and at one fell swoop
relegates to the realms of obscurity the
fOssiary ideas OF the past. Scarcely
less wonderful are the sudden transit
tions it effects, than the Legends of
Fairy Land, and indeed, Ponce de
Icons tabled Elixir OF Life may be said
to have found it's counterpart in that OF
Ensor. Men OF advanced ideas are
turning their attention in the interest
OF reform to the recognized successful
cure OF the habit treated, with view to
the practical solution of the liquor
question. In some OF the eastern and
middle states funds have been Instituted
to defray the expense of treating in
digent parties for the liquor habit, and
ere long, predict, there will be institu-
tons supported by state and municipal
authority where the treatment will be
made compulsory. As matter OF
economy alone it wonld be preferable to
imprisonment. Why cannot Phoenix
distinguish herself in the matter Of re-
form? She il prosperous and has a
brilliant future before her. Her re-
preventative citizens-business and pro-
ieselonal men-are second to none.
Thev are kind hearted, liberal minded
and charitable, and am certain they
would respond to any call that would
ennoble their fellow man.

Mr.. Crawford is the first graduate OF
the Arizona Ensor Institute. Several
more will finish the course this week.
The most satisfactory way to investi-
gate this cure is to call at the Institute
and personally interview the gentlemen
who are now taking treatment.
