thorough investigation OF tine uaerits of
the Houston cure was made here as
elsewhere.
Maryville and Stanbary, Missouri, the
home OF DIT. Houston, were next visited,
where patients were first treated hy DR..
Cleave, who has treated moro than
1,s0o patients himself. A very large
number OF those who had been cured
for year or more, testified to the
thorough effzcacyt OF this eere. Mr.
Hobbs drove seven miles In tho counky
from Stanbory to see Mr.. Thorn as,
merchant, who took both the whiskey
ana tobacco cure, more than year ago,
and is effectually cured of both.
At r<rfx,
which had been in operation since the
iath OF February, 1892. At this insti-
tute they have cured large number of
patients, number of whom were inter-
viewed by Mr. Hobbs, who now has an
account of these interviews in his pos.
session, and would be glad to show them
to anyone wishing to see them. Among
those interviewed was Mr.. Charles H.
Clark, who had used morphine exces.
sively FOR years, and had spent hundreds
OF dollars with physicians aud special

Houston Institute. Hadn't eaton n
breakfast for ten years and seldom din

IN that time; was thoroughly cured last
March, after six weeks treatment.
and has never had any desire for NOR
phine since, and says he never felt bet
ter In his life. The next place visited
was.
OTHER 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. DR.. Steedman. of Louisville,
q physician way up in his profession
there, Is the medical director of this
institute. Here, as elsewhere, then
have performed some very remarkable
cures among doctors. lawyers, railroad
office mon, merchants, as we'll as all
classes OF patients. A great many
physicians all over the State of Ken
lucky co. operate with this institute ia
their good work, by sending patients to
it and aiding them in every way they
can.
At this institute Mr.. Hobbs found q
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 TACT that, though barely twenty
years OF age, he had been an opium
fend, drunkard and generally de-
case presenting every phase of demen-
tia. A physical wreck aud social OUT
cast. His shattered intellect, until he
mad taken the treatment. could not COM
prehend the seriousness of his con-
dition, but gradually, under the scien.
tific treatment OF the Houston Narcotic
Cure, his mind frightened. his looks and
walk betokened an Improvements, and
now, thoroughly restored, he presents
the appearance of finely developed
young man in possession of his mental.
moral and physical powers, an illusrra-
ton OF what can be accomplished by
this wonderful remedy. This cure is
endorsed by the Medical Progress, of
louisville, tho leading medical journal
OF the South, as we'll as the press gem
orally.
Mr.. Hobbs says further that he inter-
viewed over 900 patients who had taken
and were cured by this treatment. and
the concurrent testimony of every one
was that they had been Thoroughly and
eifectualiy cured of the drink and NOR
phine habits, and never felt better in
their ivea. In not single case had
there been any Impairment of the mem
tai or physical powers, but the invari-
able testimony of all was that they COM
meneed 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 clear
headed, carefully observant gentleman
and voNched for by THE TIMEs cannot
TAIL to impress upon the reader the fact
that the Houston Narcotic Cure does
absolutely what Is processes to do--eurel
the liquor, tobacco, morphine or opium
habits. In our next article we will con-
