After Mr.. Hobbs had Visited the

visited
THE INSTITUTE AT OMAHA, NIB
which has been in operation since the
lst of January last. ana has graduated
between 200 and 300 patients. DR.. Hen

thorough investigation o, the merits OF
the Houston cure was made hero as
elsewhere.
Maryville and Stsnbury, Missouri, the
home OF DR.. Houston, were next visited,
where patients were first treated by DR..
houston and his partner, DIR. Van
Cleave, who has treated N ore than
1850 patients himself A very large
number OF those who had been cured
for year or more, testified to the
thorough efficacy Of this cure. Mir.
Hobbs drove seven miles in the county

OTHER INSTITUTES VISITED
The last institute visited by Mr..
Hobbs was at Louisville, Ky, whore
they have had very fne class OF
patients. DR.. Steedman, OF Louisville,
q physician way up in his profession
there, is the medical director of this
institute. Here, as elsewhere. they
have performed some very remarkable
cures among doctors, lawyers, railroad

lucky CO operate with this institute in
their good work, by sending patients to
it and aiding them in every way they
can.
At this institute Mr.. Hobbs found a.
young man from Michigan, who had
been cured for about ten days, waiting
on check from his father TO take him
home. An interview with him disclosed
the fact that, though barely twenty
years OF age, he hid been an cpium

oauched from the effects of both. A

had taken the treatment, could not COM
prehend the seriousness Of his con-
dition, but gradually, under tho scion.
tho treatment OF the Houston Narcotic
Cure, his mind frightened, his looks and
Walk betokened an Improvement, and
now, thoroughly restored, he presents
the appearance OF a finely developed
young man in possession of his mental,
mo'al and physical powers, an illustra-
ton of what can be accomplished by
this wonderful remedy This cure Is
endorsed by the Medical Progress. of
Louisville, the leading medical journal
OF the South, as well as the press geu-
orally.
Mr., Hobbs says further that he inter
viewed over 200 patients who had taken
and were cured by this treatment, and
The concurrent testimony of everv one
was that they had been thoroughly and
ehectually cured Of the drink and mos.
phine habits, and never felt better a
their lives. In not single case had
the-e been any impairment of the mon.
tai or physical powers, but the invari
able testimony of all was that they com.
menced feeling better from the time Of
treatment and after their cure (Which
takes from three to four weeks) their
systems were thoroughly renovated and
manhood restored.
These statements coming from q clear
ne aded, carefully observant gentleman
and vouched for by TIE TINES cannot
fail 10 impress upon the reader tho TACT
that the Houston Narcotic Cure does
absolutely what it Processes to do-cuse
the 'quor, tobacco. morphine or opium
