DIR. Borton says OF the cure that its
discovery Is the result of long and pa
tient study of the phenomena presented
by the drinking habit, made for no other
purpose than to find relief for certain
noble and afflicted fellow-ctizens of
Plymouth, Ind, where he lad practced
his profession for thirty-two years before
removing to Warsaw.
Among the earliest treated was
Plymouth butcher, whose shop was in
a basement under a saloon. This mar
is q Jolly German who drank for social
reasons until the disease of alcoholism
had mastered him. He has been COM
petely and permanently cured to the as
constituent and delight Of his family and
friends.
just around the corner from the
butcher is shoemaker, who had regu-
larly spent his hard earnings over the
bar until his family was in sore distress.
He had promised reformation again and
again but as often had fallen. He came
to DIR. Borton many months ago and soon
the old desire for liquor was supplanted
by detestation that he eloquently ex-
presses to all who will cross. the street
from the Plymouth Postolfice and enter
his neat and busy workshop.
A brilliant telegraph operator had lost
his place through drinking and had be-
come almost a tramp. He was cured
and last week he visited Warsaw with
his happy bride, proud to show to her
the man who had redeemed him.
These cases had been multiplied into
scores before DR.. Borton was willing to
permit the use Of his name in connection
with the cure. He wanted first to sat-
isfy himself that he could, with an
abiding confidence, announce to fallen
men that there was relief atlast at hand
that would be effectual in all stages or
the drinking habit. His general practice
was large and very reIumerative but
victims OF intemperance soon presented
themselves in such number that he could
not fail to extend TO them all the Chris
tian sympathy and medical aid that
would surely lift them out OF bondage
into q life Of hope and joy.
The story is almost told Since the
beginning OF the present year he has
consented to devote all of his time, all OF
his skill, all of his effort to this heart
work of rescuing fallen men. What will
be his reward he cannot say, but il the
abandonment of his general practice
will enable him to enlarge the usefulness
of his cure, II many more shall
be led from paths that take
hold on death to take their
places again among their fellow men,
their appetite for liquor gone and full Of
the ambition of their youth, an ample
| reward will come in The blessings of re-
| deemed men, in the JOY of families re-
stored to happiness and in the love Of
| children whose fathers have been new
born into lives of affection. No mans
monument will be higher, none more en-
during.
The citizens Of Warsaw have known
| OF DIR. Borton and his work for long
time, and they are in hearty sympathy
with him. The best homes in the city
are thrown open for the reception OF his
patients and every effort is made TO sur
round them with Influences of the right
sort. They come to him in various con-
ditions and IL they are nervous he sup
plies them with pure Bourbon whisky
| without the least fear of prolonging
their sprees, for the appetite for liquor
never outlasts the second or third day OF
treatment. 1t yields and for the first
time in years the drinking man finds, to
his great Joy, that he cares for liquor no
more.
After that his stay at Warsaw becomes
pleasant relaxation from business
cares. He presents himself TO Dr. Borton
four times day for treatment and
spends the rest OF his time in the charm
ing parks, on the beaut full streets or on
the three lakes which almost touch the
| city. In summer he is welcomed in the
pretty cottages by the lakes. be may
skim over the waters in one of the grace
full steamers, bend his back in rowing or
while away the lazy hours in fishing. In
whatever relaxation he may engage he Is
sure to go TO his home with pleasant
memores-of the pretty, hospitable lake
city, and of the Christian gentleman who
presides at the Plymouth Institute, as
DIR. Borton calls his sanitarium. IL
should be added that Warsaw Is situated
at the crossing Of the Pittsburgh. Fort
Wayne and Chicago railway, ard the
Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan rail-
road. 1t is los miles east Of Chicago,
forty mileo west of Fort Wayne, aud l25
miles north OF Indianapolis
