CURlNO CURES MORPHINE HABlTl
CURING CURES TOBACCO HABIT!


Drunksrds are cursed with craving, gnawing
appetite for alcoholic driuk, which appetite they
cal not control or satisfy. This morou appetite
frequently has an inherited predispostion as a
constltutloua cause. and with such the hereditary
vice Is easily arous ID to activity and becomes an
irresistible controlling influence o..
1t Is not civilized mans natural disposition 10 re-
linqush all that serves to make life happy IN oroer
TO satisfy his desire for drink such 1owever, IL
the case with dipsomanacs. The pevedical drunk
ard presents such positive pathological changes,
as he INDUCES but seldom. and allows the system
time to by eliminating the poison before 1t
has time to cause tissue injuries.
Although such men sometimes go 10 terrible ex-
cesses, in some Instances prolonging the oebauch
ior several weeks they either have grea, ani mppe
tite and consume much food, or else they depehu
entirely on the liquor for aliment.
When quantities. of food are ingested, IL e. sr-
cises a protecting influence, keeping the gastric
functions busy, neutralizng to large extent the
poisonous effect of the liquor and therefore l"nd-
ing to equalize the circulation. When tne @ nesire
for food Is completely suppressed by the liquor,
the system Is LETT unprotected 70 the mercy OF the
alcohol and the nervous organs receive the full
effects OF the stimuiant.
many persons in the prime Of life persuade
themselves that moderate use of liquor taken
no detrimental results, rs they experience no I'M
mediate disagreesble symptoms. Many Will even
claim that their systems demand the stimulus ana
Shat marked benefits follow it's use.
No more fallacious or deceptive idea Sen be en-
tertained by healthy man. The sys.~m, IL Is
true, becomes habltuated to the abuse it does to
the narcotic poisons-opium haschish. chloral or
tobacco; but let such persons discontinue It's use
for any reason, and for weeks they must suffer
with loss OF appetite, fever palms. OF palpitaion
with perhaps constipation and nervous irritabilty
and loss OF flesh
The system in such cases has from long abuss
become changed and .emands its regular poison
to sustain the abnormal standard created by the
nquor. With hope and all the finer emotions ana
sensibilites crushed, the victims of the liquor
habit are only capable of causing tears and shame
to all connected with them. No higher mission
comes to the medical man-no greater credit can
attach 20 mis- skll-than to find "a treatment that
can stay tnis torrent OF misery that flows so re-
lentessly over its bed of human hearts"
Even more than alcohol, the opium habit holds
Its thousands of victims in degrading slavery.
Since the Introduction OF the hypoiermic syrn se
the pernicious juice of the poppy has DESTROYED
myriad5 OF human bodies and minds among the
fa est and brightest women and most intellectual
Of men. The medical profession with occasional
executions, are too apathetc with respect to this
haunln, vice.
They too often open to a sraver charge than
apnthv-thcy have been Instrumental in teaching
thousands the to the worse (because truerl in
ferno than that which the great Italian poet
inscribed the terrible warning: "Who enters here
leaves hope behind.
