The Poison Of the Deadly
Drug Destroyed.
The Testimony of Patient Who
Underwent the Treatment and
Has Been Saved.
To THE HAWAIIAN HAGEY INSTITUTE:

est gratitude for the great change
that has been brought about in my
life through the agency of the
Hagey Institute, / take this means
OF thanking you and giving testi-
monial as to the merit Of your cure,
with the hope that it may be
means of saving others from life of
wretchedness and degradation.
Fourteen years ago was persuad-
ed by an acquaintance OF mine to
try opium for the purpose OF allevi-
ating me from all distressing pains,
aud without thinking at the time he
advised me to do so that | would
become a slave to the use Of it, but
after using opium only three days it
firmly fastened the habit upon me.
Many kind friend had asked me to
make determined effort to cast the
abominable stuff aside forever, but
that was matter of impossibility,
and my good, sincere and earnest
resolutions were like chaff before
the wind Blessed with a strong
constitution, | have been able to
stand the constant drain on my vital
sources until the last month. My
excessive use of the drug 10 we'll
known fact to the people OF this city.
On the 18th day Of January, 1897,
| entered the Institute, met the Of
ficers in charge, had conversation
and received their proposition: "No
cure, no pay;" and Immediately took
the treatment for 30 days. Shortly
after taking the remedy l began to
feel better. now have a wonderful
appetite. | eat four hearty meals a
day and sleep like baby.
Ii was dreadful plight to be in,
though just at that particular stage
of the treatment, and it is my actual
belief that if | had not entered the
Institute as soon as | did l would
surely have died. | here state for
the benefit OF those who are so un-
fortunate as to be similarly afflicted:
Take my advice and take the Hagey
treatme Mt, aud get rid of the dread
full habit.
Oh, what gladstone relief when
it is all over. AS to the effect of the
remedy while using it, l can truly
say that there is nothing injurious
or unpleasant about it at all. The
treatment has made a decided i'm
provement in my condition, both
mentally and physically. 1t has
done marvellous thing for me, and
it will do the same for all OF my
friends and aoquaintances, who are
addicted to the use OF opium, who
will adhere to and follow my example,
and therefore urgently ask all to
take the Hagey cure without delay.
There is no confinement whatever
while under treatment.
/ am changed man and free from
the curse, and if at any time L can
be of service to my fellowmen who
are addicted to the use OF opium,
will happily do so willingly and un-
hesitatingly.
May prosperity ever attend the
Hagey Institute, and may it's name
be declared throughout these islands
as noble institution that is elevat
ing humanity to proper and usefuI
standard in life.
In conclusion, | desire to especial
ly thank the kind and generous
friend who has pecuniarily assisted
me-; to Dr.. Wayson, physician il
charge; to Mr.. I. e. Cowart fol
their untiring, patient, and attentive
services rendered me at the Institute
and it affords me great pleasure il
giving my testimonial to the powe
of remedy for opium, morphine
and cocaine habits. | also regard
it as one of the most remarkable
discoveries yet produced to the ligh
OF this progressive world
