Can Morphine and Other Drug
Habits Be Cured?

1t has been long cortended by physi.
clans that there is no cure for the drug
habit. This is true so far as the rank

concerned. The reason, therefore, is
that they are ignorant of the full scope
and nature of the disease; but fortu-
nately for the cause OF suffering human.
ity we have demonstrated that the NOR
phine or other drug habits can be cured
and guarantee All absolute, permanent
and painless cure to those addicted to
the use Of drugs if they will take our
treatment and follow our instructions.
Each case submitted to us receives
individual attention and treatment from
an experienced nerve specialist. We

REPORT OF THE U. B. CONFERENCE
The Proceedings of the Meeting Held at
Matherton-Rev. 4. Il. stewart Re
turned tn Alma.

This, the North Michigan conference
held last week at Matherton, which
was set of from the Michigan conference
In 1877, has fifteen hundred members
and forty preachers enrolled. There are
two presiding elders districts, known
as east and west; twenty three circuits
or charges; thirty.five church houses
and sixteen parsonages valued at about
$4,000.
The Goth annual session was presided
over by Bishop Floyd, d. D., of Indi.
ana, and Rev. O. L. Wood, Of Alma,
was re elected secretary. The proceed
ings will be published in pamphlet form.
This session was very largely attended,
there being about one hundred and fifty
provided with homes by the good citizens
OF Matherton village and vicinity, and
many were also transferred to and from
the railroad stations. A large number
OF visiting ministerial brethren were pre-
sent from other conferences, attracted
in part by the Publishing House "inves.
tigation" question, which is agitating
the church far and wide.
The discussion on various phases of
this subject was spirited, but conducted
in a manner, tending 10 maintain a
brotherly and fraternal feeling between
opposing sides. Early in the session an
effort was made, by resolution, TO sup.
press all dicussion, but was earnestly
and successfully opposed, and on yea
and nay vote, open and free discussion
was maintained.

EVERYBODY WELL PLEASED.
"A Royal Slave" Greeted with Full House
Monday Night.

Gordon s. BENEFITS "A Royal Slave"
was greeted with standing room only at
the opera house last Monday night upon
their second appearance of the company
in Alma. The company is entirely
different from last year, but suffered
nothing in comparison. Louis Lytton
is an acceptable successor to Clarence
Bennett in the role Of "El Aguila, the
last of the Montezumas," and his acting
strikes the right key in the climaxes
Pascalina DeVoe makes handsome
and effective Countess Inez de Oro,"
and wore some magnificent gowns with
taste. The balance of the company is
made up of clever people who act their
parts with perfection. The play, with
its elaborate scenery, to be appreciated
to the fullest extent, should be seen on
larger stage. Harry Gordon, as mana.
ger and part owner is making it sue
cess by giving the people only the best
talent in the cast. Gordon q Bennett
will put another company on the
road next season playing "The
Holy CITY," said to be one of the best
plays that will be produced at that time.
