After Mr.. Hobbs had visited tha
houston Institute at Concord, N. H., he
visited az
THE iNsTlDUTE AT CEDAR RAPIrs, IOWA,
winch mad been in operation since the
ioen OF FEBRUARY, 1892. At this insti-
tute they have cured large numbar of
patients, a number OF whom were inter
viewed BY Mr.. Hobbs, who now has an
account OF these interviews in HIS nos
session, and would be glad to show them
TO anyone Wishing TO see them. Among
those interviewed was Mr.. Charlea RI
Clark, who had used morphine exces.
sively for years, and had spent hundreds
OF dollars with physicians and special
ists for cure, and was q perfect wreck
at the time he was induced to enter the
houston Institute. Hadn't eaten n
breakfast for ten years and seldom din
ner, and, never had whole nights rest
IN that time; Was thoroughly cured last
March, after six weeks treatment,
anu mas never had any desire for NOR
phine since, and says he mover felt hat
ter in his life. The next place visited
was.
THE lNSTiTUTE Ar OMAHA, NKD
which has been in operation since the
LIST ofiJannary last, and has graduated
between 200 and 800 patients. DR.. Hen
aersoni graduate of the Massachusetts
Medical College. is medical director. a
thorough investigation OF the merits OF
the houston cure was made here as
elsewhere.
Maryville and Stanbury, Missouri, the
home OF Or. Houston, were next visited,
where patients were first treated by DR..
houston and his partner, DR.. Van
Grave. who has treated more than
1880 patients himself. A yery large
number of those who had been cured
Tor 8 year or more, testified to the
thorough efficacy of this cure. Mr..
Hobbs drove seven miles in the county
from Stanbury to see Mr.. Thomas.
merchant, who took both the whiskey
ana tobacco cure, more than year ago.
ana is eifeotually cured of both.
orHSR INSTITUTES VISITED.
The next institute visited was at ST.
Joe, Missouri, and the same result found
to exist there as at other places.
The last institute visited by Mr..
Hobbs was at Louisville, Ky, where
they have had very fine class OF
patients. DIR. Steedman. OF louisville,
IN,
there is the medical director OF this
institute. Hero, as elsewhere, they
have performed some very remarkable
cures among doctors, lawyers. railroad
un1ce mon, merchants, as we'll as all
classes OF patients. A great many

tucky co operate with this institute in
their good work. by sending patients to
IL ana aiding them in every way they
| can.
At this institute Mr.. Hobbs found
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 had been an opium
fend, drunkard and generally de-
bauehed from the effects Of both. A
case presenting every phase Of demen-
tia. physical wreck and social OUT
cast. His shattered intellect, until he
had taken the treatment, could not COM
prehend the seriousness of his con-
dition, but gradually, under the scien.

the appearance OF finely developed

moral and physical powers. an illusyra-
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 we'll as the press gem
| 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 every one
was that they had beeu thoroughly and
etFectually cured of the drink and NOR.

| able testimony OF all was that they COM

treatment and after their cure (which
takes from three to foar weeks) their
systems were thoroughly renovated and
manhood restored.
These statements coming from o clear
headed, carefully observane gentleman
and vouched for by THE Tp6Es cannot
fail to impress upon the reader tho facs
that the Houston Narcotic Cure does
absolutely what it processes to do cure
