Ihe Houston Narcotic Cure COMPANY.
OF Roanoke, does not need to GO aws1
from Its own doors for testimonials of its
wonderful work. When men who have
received its treatment and have been
sosolutely and radically cured come
forward and volunteer statements even
the most blindly skeptical are comuelfed

IHE TINES has been conducting a
rigid, thorough and critical personaI
examination into the operations OF the
houston cure in Roanoke. This exami-
nation has been entirely free from re-
stralnt. The manager and physician
nave oeen asked every question that
study could suggest. THE TIMES repre-
sentatives have talked freely with the
patients in and out of the Institution.

stages or the treatment and after thew

the faith of the management of the
houston Institute and the absolute
certainty Of its treatment.

IS lar less competent to deal with scarlet
fever, typhoid fever, or any Infectious
or contagious disease than the Houston
Cure is to deal with the LIQUOR habit.
This emphatic declaration would not be

Mr. Obenshain presented all the ap.
peatances OF man in fine physical
condition. His eyes were clear and
bright ana his skin as clear as possible
bis flesh is firm and solid, snd his grip
strong and steady. The change in his
appearance for the better in the shor,

with the results Of the Houston cure.
One OF the most prominent and widess
known physicians in the State, who for
a mum Der OF years has been addicted to
the excessive use OF whiskey, and who
Tor three years was q perfect slave to
the morphine habit, was discharged
from the Houston Institute recently
perfectly cured of both habits, after .
course OF treatment OF about i've weeks.
A few minutes before ne left on the
l2:4o train, in a conversation with 3
reporter Of THE TINES, the physician,
whose name Is withheld by request,
said: ~ have been q regular prac ticing
physician for twenty-five years and have
been periodical drunkard nearly the
whole time Three years ago | com

through the stomach. and have been
ever since taking enormous quantities
regularly. My stomach was almost
ruined and was suffering greatly from
kidney trouble. confess when came
here was somewhat skeptical, but be-
fore had been in the institute three
days could see the system would do all
1T claimed. For more than q year have
been student Of tho different methods
OF liquor and opium cures, and have read
perhaps as much literature on the sub.
ject as any physician in the State. and

Is superior to any. In my own case I
was entirely cured Of the whiskey habit
before had been under treatment three
weeks, and in four the taste for opiates
was entirely gone as before l commenced
the habit.
While under treatment have closely
watched the other patients and and
that in every case the cure Is perfect
and permanent and notice that nearly
every one who comes here is afflicted
with kidney trouble and they all leave
here perfectly cured Of anything Of the
kind. | myself am better in that re-

and also feel better in every respect
than have for five years, and for the
