Sixty Thousand Druukards.

This is yearly the rate at which rum is
killing people in the United States alone.
Until within less than two years drunk
enness has been thought lncurable. There
are now two remedies that are known
to cure the victims of the alchohol,
opium and tobacco habits One of these,
and the one having the best record,
whenever the two remedies have been
tried side by side-as in Concord, n. H,
is the Houston Specific. In that city,
says a recent issue of the Concord Mont
tor:
The are men free now, to whom life
has new meaning, a new zest, and
noble purpose. Their appetite for poi
sonous liquor is destroyed. The giant
habit that held them so long has been
annihlated. 1t seems almost niracu-
lous. Temperance pledges are generally
written in sand. The next wave of cir
cumstances, or the next convivial wind
that blows, will obliterate them. The
health Of the temperance lecturer, how
ever sincere and eloquent he may be, is
drank al many a bar. Men With hot
tears of regret and remorse trickling
down their checks, still drink. They re-
lent and repent, but they are unable to
leave liquor alone. The strong arm of
the law seems powerless to interfere eff
fectively between mankind and the terri
bic curse that is blighting many gifts
strongest men.
The discovery of that wonderful speci-
fc known as the Houston cure marks an
epoch in temperance work. Indulgence
in intoxcants d1 fits u sconsciously into
a habit, and from habit into positive
disease, and then cannot be treated sat
isfactorily unless as such. The blood,
especially, must be brought back into
normal condition, the heart must be en-
couraged into rhythmic regularity, the
circulation must regain its equilibrium,
the lung power be increased to its full
capacity, the stomach invigorated. the
liver and kidneys toned into healthy
state, and every function of the body re-
juvenated, and freed from the damning
influence of alcohol. This is all done by
simple and harmless, but very effective
treatment. The patient is not weaken
ed-on the contrary, his strength is in
creased-nor is he made sick or impaired
iE any way, but he is absolutely relieved
of all need and desire for stimulants, and
comes out at the end of three weeks a
fresh, new man, ready to cope with life's
battles and to be what he should be to
those who love him.
The expense of taking the medical
treatment is something, but it is the best
and most profitable investment that any
regular or periodical dr-inker can make,
or that his relatives or friends can make
for him. No stocks, no bonds, will pay
a greater interest, no material fortune
can be worth half as much.
1t matters not how incredulous the
patient may be, nor how much stirnu-
lent he may take during the earliest days
of his treatment, there will very soon
come day when he will find that spirit
