The Houston narcotic cure for tia
liquor, opium and morphine habit is
NOT A GOLD CURE, and no poisonous IN.
gradients whatever are used in the med
icino. Over 5000 people have been
cured, and it has not caused death, in
sanity, softening OF the brain or lefc q
patient debilitated. These claims can
not be made by any other company.
IL, from any local cause, it should be
necessary for patient undergoing traat.
ment to take any other medicines, they
can DO given by the physician in charge
or the family physician, and no harm
whatever will be done.

morphine does not destroy the taste for
tobacco.

during the period they are u,dor-
going treatment. They are only re-.
quirea to be present four times day,
for few moments each time: a. M, IL
M, p. m. and p. N. However, we
have ample room, and would prefer TO
have our patients remain at the insti-
| tute.
There are numtec OF boa riding hou ses
and hotels very near the institute.
which is located in the center OF tho
city. We restric. the patients from
taking stimulants outside Of the insti.
tute. but give them all they desire FREQ
until such time as they shall have no
further use for it, which IN most cases
is tho third day.
We would be glad 10 have the friends
Of the patient see their first treatment,
and then watch the progress of tho cure
and the building up OF the consti u. q II
and nervous system.
We guarantee to cure the lquor,
opium or morphine habit OF ref in tbs
