by M'r. D. O. Hobbs. now the generaI
manager % the Houston Narcotic Cure
Company at Roanoke. We have shown

After Mr.. Hobbs had visited the.
houston Institute ut Concord, NJ h.. he.
visited
THE lNsTBUBE AT CEDAR RAnIDs IOWA.
which had been in operation. since the
10Th OF TebruarY, 1892. At this insti.
tuee tney have cured large number of
viewed by Mr.. Eobbs, who now hassan
account of these interviews in hia nos-
session. and would be glad TO showthem
10 anyone wishing to see them. Among
those interviewed was MreGharles ri.
Clark, who had used morphine exoes-
sively for years, and had spent hundreds.
OF dollars with physicians and speoiaI-
lists Tor cure. and WIS perfect wreck
at the time he was induced to enter the
Houston Institute. Hadn't eaten a.
breakfast for ton years and seldom, din.
ner, ana never had whole nights rest
IN that time; was thoroughly cured, last,
march, after sig weeks t,eatment.
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.
THE INSTITUTE AT OMAHA, Ngs..
which has been in operation since the
ISL OF January last, and has graduated
between 200 and 800 patients. DR., Hen.
derson, graduate Of the Massachusetts,
medical College, is medical director. A
thorough investigation Of the merits of
the Houston cure was made here "a
elsewhere.
Maryville and Stanbury, Missouri, the
home OF DR.. Houston, were next visited,
where patients were first treated by DR..
a. houston and his partner, DR.. Van
Cisave, who has treated m ore than
1900 patients himself. A very large
number of those who had been cured
ior year or more, testified to the
thorough efficacy Of this cure. Mr..
hobbs drove seven miles in the county
from Stanbury to see a Mr.. Thomas.
merchant, who took both the whiskey
and tobacco cure, more than q year ago.
and is effectually cured Of both.
OTHER INSTITUTES VISITED.
The next institute visited was ct 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, .
q. physician way up in his profession
there, is the medic al director of this
institute. Here, as elsewhere. thew
have performed some very remarkable
cures among doctors, lawyers, railroad
office men, merchants as we'll az all
classes of patients. A great many
PHYSICIANS all over the State of Ken
lucky co operate with this institute in
their good work, by sending patients to
1T 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. Aninterview with him disclosed
the fact that, though barely twenty
years Of age, he hsd been an opium
hend, drunkard and generally de-
bauched from the effects OF both. A
case presenting every phase OF demen-
tia. A 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-
tific 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 q finely developed
VOun0 man in rOacncoiOn of bio
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, the leading medical journal
OF the South, as we'll as the press gen
orally.
Mr.. Hobbs says further that he int r
viewed over zoo patients who had taken
and were cured by this treatment, and
the concurrent testimony OF every one
was that they had been thoroughly and
enectualiy cured OF the drink and NOR
phine habits, and never felt better in
their lives. In not single case had
there boon any impairment of tho 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 sssteraents coming from q clear
headed, carefully observant gentleman
and vouched for by THE TINES cannot
fail to impress upon the reader the fact
that the Houston Narcotic Cure does
absolutely what it processes to do--cure
the liquor, tobacco. morphine or opium
habits. In our next article we will con-
| tinue the statement OF Mr. Hnhhs, in
