The Gold Cure

Now that the GARTEN GOLD CURE
INSTITUTE of Sacramento is decorating
its second successful year with laurels
worn by scores Of graduates, it is Of pub
lie interest to comment where criticism
has been disarmed Abundant testi-
monials to cures effected attest the value
OF its work Of practical reform. 1t is d
life-saving station, and something better
it makes that imperiled life worth IiV-
ing.
None who have watched its progress
and noted It's triumphs ventures now to
doubt the singular value Of the treatment
given there TO victims Of the liquor, NOR
phine, opium or tobacco habits. The
living and happy proofs of it are visible
enough here as well as elsewhere. The
cloud OF witnesses Is great one, and con-
Uinues to gather. the testimony they
give convinces the doubtful and assures
the timid. The certainty that the cures
wrought are permanent, that no injury to
general health turks i'll the treatment,
that no belladonna, atrophine, cocaine or
drugs similar and dangerous are used,
makes the institute attractive to those
who desire and intend TO cast off habits
OF wretchedness and suffering and resume
their proper places in the ranks of re-
speCted society.
1t is veritable sanitarium, located in
an attractive city. 1t is also a real refuge
for those needing such, and is home so
secluded that ii is doubtful if Evans and
Sontag would be discovered, against their
will, if they became patients there. Yet
no restraint is laid upon any who come
for relief. Men who have the immoral
courage to do so may make outside eX-
periments for a time; they will soon
abandon them.
In every department of the institute
the results of studied and intelligent care
are evident. Everything required Tor
passing comfort and the attainment of
enduring health and vigorous strength
are readily at hand. In this respect il is
without peer or rival i'll California, and,
indeed, with but few in the East.
Neither has it any actual rival III the
matter of the cost Of treatment. That is
less than that of any other; and in COM
parison with benefits gained ranks as
nothing in the scale.
DR.. Charles 5. Hart, Medical Director
and Manager, declines to discuss or TO
comment upon other institutes with
similar aims, but declares himself con-
tent with knowing the practical value Of
the Garten remedies and methods. and
with the full measure OF success he has
achieved with them, and will continue to
achieve. ct, while refusing to make in
Vidious comparisons, he is emphatic in
declaring that 1t comes very near being
fiat nonsense, II nothing worse or more
contemplate, for any one TO say-or to
hint by lnnuendo-that the aftermath OF
the GARTEN treatment is any other than
sound, clean, safe. and perfectly tree
from danger in any form. lie displays
folios of letters from whilom patlents-
graduated long ago. They speak vari-
ously of improved memory, strength
ened eyesight, renewed physical vigor,
excellent appetite and digestion, giving
increase in weight; clear mental faculties,
easy, natural rest in sleep, and general
elasticity Of spirits; but none OF them all
embody any complaints whatever. In
the strong glare Of publicity he challenges
thus: No darkening side-hghts occur. \
successful institution doing welcome
work should be readily accorded public
recognition, appreciation and conti-
dence. +
