CURING CURES MORPHINE HABIT
CCRINo CURES TOBACCO HABIT!

Drunk ards are cursed with a craving, gnawns
cannot control or satisfy This moroSd appetite
frequently has an inherited predispositlon as a
constitutional cause, AMI wi;h such the hereditary
vice 10 easily aroused to activity and becomes au
irresistible controlling influence.
1t Is not civilized mans natural disposition to re-
linqush ell that serves to make life Happy in order
10 satisfy his desire for drink. Such however Ia
the case with dpsomanacs. The pt vlodcsl drunk
ard presents no such positive pathological changes
as he INDUCES but seldom. and allows the system
time to recover by eliminating the poison before II
has time TO cause tissue injuries.
Although such men sometimes go TO terrible ey-
cessss, in some instances pHoioaging the tebauch
for several weeks, they either have grea' appc-
t;te ana consume much food, or else they depend
entirely on the liquor Tor alimeni.
when quantities Of food are ingested, it eler
cises protecting influence, keeping the gastriC
functions busy, neutralihg to a large extent the
poisonous effect OF tne liquor, and therefore tHnd-
ing 70 equa.lze the Circulation When the desire
for food is completely suppressed by the liquor
the system Is lett unl lro'ccted II the mercy of the
alcohol and the nervous organs receive the full
effects OF the stiinulsnt.
Many persons IA the prime of life persuade
themselves that moderate use Of liquor taken
regularly, even on an empty stomach will cause
no detrimental results. MS they experience no inn
mediate disagreeAble symptoms Many will even
claim that their demand the stimulus and
eeat marked benefits follow its use.
No more fallacious or deceptive Idea can be en-
tertalued by healthy man. The system, ii Is
true becomes habltuated 10 the abuee as 1t does TO
She nasco,!c po!sons -opium. haschsh. chloral or
for any reason, and for weeks they must suffer
with loss OF appetite fever, pains or palpita;ton.
with perhaps constipation and nervous irrita5ity
and loss OF flesh.
The system in such cases has from long abus,
become changed and demands its regular poison
70 sustain the abnormal standard created by the
liquor. With hope and all the finer emot o IS and
sensinilitfes crushed. the victims Of NE iianor
habit are only capable of causing tears and shame
TO all connected with them. No HIGHER mission
comes 10 the medical man-.no greater credit can
attach to his skill-than to find q treatment that
can stay tnis TORI Mt of misery that flows so re-
lentlessly over Its bed CT human hearts. -
Even moro than alcohol, the opium habit holds

Since the introinct on OF the hypc iermic SYRINGE
the perniciols tuice OF the poppy has destroyed
myriads OF human bodies ant minds among the
fai est and brightest women and most INTEL eotN al
o. men. The medical profession, with occas. al
exceptions, are too apathetic with respect TO this
haunting vice.
They are too often open to o yTaver charge than
apethy-thcy have been instrumental in teaching
thousands the TO the wofSs (hecause truerl in

inscribed the terrible warning: "Who enters hero
leaves hope behind.
