DR.. Thonpson's cure, about two
months ago. He is now as free from
the liquor habit as he was when Z
babe. DR.. Rees is no common bum
,ner-he is a highly educated gentle
man and stands high in his profes
sion. Some thirty years ago he
taught the high school at Monticello
Missouri. He was recognized as a
physician of marked ability, but the
whisky-drinking habit had almost
paupered him. People were afraid to
trust him in cases of sickness and he
fell to the level of the common drunk
ard. Today he is being congratulated
on every hand by old friends and is
rapidly regaining his place among La
Bellies best citizens. He tells tale
that would outrival the tales told by
Francis Murphy could it be told as
Murphy tells his tales to the public.
Many other remarkable cures have
been made by DR.. Thompson during
the past six months and it would not
surprise THE JOURNAL representative
who investigated these cases, if DIR.
Thompson proves to have much bet
ter cure for drunkenness than the
celebrated DR.. Kelley of Dwight.
One thing is certain-out of some
forty or fifty men that have been cured
not one has been known to have taken
a drink of liquor since he was pro-
nounced cured
People all over the country are be-
ginning to hear of these remarkable
cures and are going to DR.. Thompson
for treatment. Last night, William
Busby, of Quincy, painter, arrived
at the doctors office for treatment and
word was received that man from
Gorir would be there today. The doc
tor had some eight or ten patients
yesterday and said that he had treated
seventeen men since a week ago Mon
day.
1t looks as though DIR. Thompson
will soon have one of the largest
drunk cure" establishments in the
United States. He has a wonderful
remedy and no mistake. A point in
DIR. Thompson's favor is that he is
very reasonable in his charges, $50
being his fee for guaranteed cure.
