met DR.. Paul there, and he told me
of the wonderful cure that had been
discovered for alcoholism, and wish ed
me to have an interview with the
doctor who had made it. The doctor
did come to Bar Harbor and there
were several cases successfully treat
ed there.
Zone case was that of a business
man who could attend to business
only two or three days at a time
then he would get drunk. His ply.
stefan said he could live but few
months; that in short time he
would 90 down to drunkard's
grave. He was induced to take the
Morrell cure. He was restored tC
his right mind. He has now become
an earnest. devoted worker, and i.
now doing business successfully. A
few days ago he said to me that it
had benefited him 81 800 during The
last season. He now has a perfect
adherence for liquor"
After citing another case, Mr.
| Winslow, in conclusion, said: Now
| must eXhort you to 90 into the
highways and byways, yea into the
gutter, and put your hands on those
poor victims of the drink habit. Tel
them that God in His infinite mercy
and wisdom, has put it into the
heart of man to prepare remedy
that shall cure the inebriate; thai
will raise him up and make him 4:
man among men, honored among
men and blessing to the world"
