NOT GRADUAL REDUCTION"
How the German Institute Cures
the Morphine Habit.

The principal reason why victims OF the
morphine, opium, cocaine and kindred
narcotics are afraid to undergo treatment
for their diseases, is that they have not
the physical and the moral courage to
stand up under the gradual reduction"
process. This sort OF treatment is the
only one known to the old school of med
icine, and it takes a person Of cast-iron
constitution and cast-ron will to endure
the suffering of reduced doses.
In the treatment of the German Rem
edy Company, harmless vegetable com
pound is given to patients and after the
first day the patient of his own accord
gives up the drug. This statement will
not be accepted as truth by users of NOR
phine, by physicians or by persons who
know what the habit is. but it is never.
theless an actual fact which any doubter
may verify by visiting the institute in the
Occidental block anv day of the week and
conversing with patients. After the first
days treatment the patient absolutely
loses all desire for the drug.

Remedy Company has been temporarily
