| Some years ago there died in one Of the
leading cities of Europe an aged physician.
| who bequeashed to his three sons sealed
| packet containing . secret which be had
| closely kept, though he had given the
benefit Of it to many whom he had re-
deemed from life Of misery. His will
| provided that this secret should be sold to
| the one of his three sons, all of whom were
| physicians. who bid the most for it. and
| that the proceeds should be equally
| divided among them. That was the prin-
| cipai part Of the fortune with which the
successful bidder came to the United
| States.
The secret was the formula of q remedy
which its discoverer had been using in the
cure of deiirium tremens at his private
hospital with wonderful success during q
period dating back to nearly eighty years
ago. The successful bidder was DR.. +. Il.
Bellinger, who Immediately came to
America with the intention of applying
the remedy to the cure of drunkards.
He had seen men enter his fathers hos
pital raving maniacs to leave it in . few
days sober and in their right mind, but
had not known by what means the cure
was effected. He interested George J.
Crane in the subject and they took the
medicine to . number Of the most eminent
physicians and chemists in the United
States and Canada to get an analysis, but
found that it could not be analysed. DR..
Bellinger, who is known throughout the
country as a leader in his profession, then
tested the remedy not merely in the cure
of deiirlum tremens. but in freeing his pa
tients from all desire for alcoholic stimu-
lants, and found it uniformly successful.
He next applied it to the cure of sufferers
from the habitual use Of such other drugs
as morphine, opium. chloral and cocaine
and of those who are addicted to the ex-
cessivc use of tobacco and cigarettes, and
with equal success, the only variation be-
ing in the size and frequency Of the doses.
| Having thoroughly proved the efficacy
of the remedy, DR.. Bellinger and Mr..
Crane last May began the manufacture of
| it at Council Bluffs. Ia. where the doctor
had been practicing for twelve years until
his removal to this city a short time ago.
He and Mr.. Crane then moved to Port
land, and began administering the medi-
| cine there with marked success. They
next came to Seattle, and during the
| short period of their residence have
effected about forty cures. some Of them
in cases which had been given up as hope
| less by other institutes.
They have here interested some of the
keenest and best known business men of
| the city, who have become convinced of
the value of the remedy and the genuine
| ness Of the cures by watching its effects
from day to day and by questioning the
patients. They have heard the personal
testimony of man who was in the habit
of taking from sixty to eighty grains of
| IN of
cocaine . day, besides unlimited liquor
and cigarettes. and whose weight had
been reduced BY these means to ninety
| five pounds. This man is nov thoroughly
cured Of all desire for stimulants Of any
kind. his weight has increased to 155
pounds and he is in perfect health. They
have heard one of the leading women in
society tell how she became helpless VIC
tim OF the morphine habit. and how all
her struggles to shake it Oft had proved
failures, but how tie German remedy set
| her free.
As result of the evidence they have
seen and heard, these gentlemen have
united with DIR. Bellinger and Mr.. Crane
in the organization of the Bellinger Ger
man Remedy Company, with a capital
stock of 81 900, 900, OF which the :ncor-
porators and officers are; President. James
A. Moore; vice president and general
manager, George J. Crane: treasurer,
Angus Macintosh; secretary. c. G. Aus
tin; attorney and auditor, Ira d. Bronson
and DR.. F. b. Bellinger. This company
will make its headquarters in this city,
and will manufacture the medicine here.
This industry alone will bring in q large
amount Of capital, as the institute here is
using $500 worth of medicine month. and
Oregon consumes $1,000 worth q month.
The company will also sell to local COM
panies the right to administer the remedy
in whole states and to establish local in
stitutes, and has already sold the right for
several states. The company will erect
home institute here to accommodate from
500 TO 500 patients as a center tor similar
institutes ali over the world. this location
having been selected on account of the
climate and other favorable conditions.
The German remedy is the oldest cure
for the liquor habit, so snat, to quote Mr.
. Crane, 1--WE are no imitators or followers
OF Others 1t is composed purely of vege-
table drugs and is not unpleasant to the
taste. Its efficacy in the cure of all desire
TO use stimulants has SO often been proved
that the managers of the company have
only TO refer inquirers to some OF those
| who have been restored to perfect health
and strength by II in order TO convince
them that their claims are well founded
| hunter OF patients who have taken the
| keeley and other cures without being
| cured have taken this remedy and with
| out exception have found that in the
| course OF three or four weeks they re-
| gained their moral ana physical health
and were emancipated from she slavery
| which had dragged them down to degra-
| dation and misery. This is particularly
. true OF victims of the morphine habit, with

! failed The patients are not restrained of
their liberty. They simply take the med

| The German remedy promises TO remove

| bitIon party by a5oilshing the drunkards
