Inc following testimonial from Mr.. A.
+. cate Is rather remarkable In that he
was such slave 20 whisky. and yet he
says he was cured and never lost but
two days from his work. Mr. Cate, as a
marketman, is well known to nearly
every butcher and huckster In Memphis.
and he says they were all aware of his
terrible crave for whisky It Is a for
tunate thing that workman can be
cured of alcoholism without losing time
from his work. A home remedy that
will prove SO satisfactory in such an ag
gravated case as Mr.. Gates case seemed
to be will undoubtedly prove a cure in
the average case of drunkenness, max
ing 1t possible now for anyone to be cured
without publicity and in the privacy of
their homes. Read Mr.. Gates letter;
1t is as follows:
Chas. b. James, Esq. care James Sana-
torium, Memphis, Tenn.
Dear Sir:--I am now 81 years old and
have wife and three children. l drank
whisky from childhood up. 1t was pre-
scribed as a medicine, as I suffered with
scrofula when a child, and as a result,
1 contracted the desire and craving for
alcoholic stimulents. I drank whisky
for twenty-five years, and for the last
twelve years I had been slave to the
demon, Alchol.
1 nave had several nice starts in bust
ness, but sacrificed my business and
everything else for whisky. I am now
and have been engaged in the huckstering
| business, and as a result, | am forced
| to arise at 8 a. m. and attend market,
where nearly every man you meet drinks
more or less.
Before taking your specially prepar-
/ ed Home Treatment for Alcoholism,
l could not have been made to believe
that 1t were possible for me to arise and
go to my work without the sustaining
effects of several good stiff drinks of
whisky; In fact, If the dearest friend on
earth had tried to have kept me away
from whisky I would have killed him
had it been necessary to have done so
to get the whisky. | craved whisky as
no man ever craved It, | did not be-
leve 1 could live without it. Your treat
ment did all that you claimed it would
do; in fact / only lost Two days from
my work during the time | was taking
your Home Treatment l carried bot
tie of your whisky tonic in my pocket
AMI when l felt like taking drink,
took q dose of the tonic and the desire
for whisky passed away. Since taking
treatment, instead of inviting my friends
to drink with M, l urge them to take
your treatment, and in fact have aided
two of them financially to do so.
the two days lost from work at be-
ginning of treatment was on account OF
excessive drinking before beginning treat
ment From the time l began the tonic
l lad a good appetite, felt strong and
energetlc-clear-h headed, could sleep well
ard eat as much as three rlen. l have
gained in flesh and feel like a terrible
load has been lifted from my shoulders.
My friends who took treatment after
did, one for morphine am the other for
whisky are both free from all desire Or
| craving.
My wife sends best regards and says
you have, through your treatment, been
instrumental in bringing happiness and
sunshine to our home, where all was
dark and dreaIy when | drank l wish
you godspeed IN your good work, and
will take pleasure in answering letters
and in doing all L can to save drug users
or whisky drinkers from the misery and
unhappiness that is bound to follow a
life of that kind. Your friend and well
| wisher, A. F. CAL J.
