A WONDERFUL TREATMENT
FOR THE LIQUOR HABIT
Will Remove All Desire For Alcoholic
stimuIants Within Forty Eight
Hours and Restore Patient
to Normal Health.

A treatment has at last been develop
ed that Is accomplishing wonderful re-
suits In the reclamation of victims Of
the alcohol and drug habits. 1t is the
prescription of Dr. Isaac Oppenheimer,
noted physician of New York city,
who used it in his private practice for
number of years and which is now
being administered at the Oppenheim-
er Institute, New York.
That 1t has done all that is claimed
for it is well authenticated by the re-
ports of many prominent men and
women who have carefully investigat-
ed its work and also by the numerous
testimonials of former patients who
had been for years sufferers from
liquor abuse or drug addiction. The
many wonderful cases that have been
effected are exciting universal atten-
ton and there remains no doubt that
these worst enemies of mankind have
been finally conquered.
During the time the treatment for
alcoholism is being administered there
is no detention from business and it
can be taken without the knowledge Of
ones family or nearest friend No
hypodermics are employed and every
provision Is made to secure absolute
privacy In every particular The
treatment positively removes the crav-
ing for alcohol within forty-eight hours
and after full course of from three
to four weeks the patient is restored
to bis normal mentality and former
physical vigor.
The Oppenheimer Institute will send
any one writing for it literature re
lating to alcoholism and drug addic-
ton that will prove interesting.

A WAGNER ANEcDoTE.

The following anecdote OF Wagner Ia
told by Alfred Reisenauer, the pianist,
who, as a pupil Of Liszt, knew the
composer of "Parsifar' personally.

CONCERNING DREAMS.

Harvey, who discovered the circula-
ton Of the blood, is said to have re-
corded dream in which bumblebes
stung him in his left thigh, ON a place
where couple Of days later appeared

nowned French author, found himself
in dream attacked by a rowdy, who

evening he felt the frst attack OF 80

medical reports" says DIR. Axel Emil
Gibson, ''are heavy with cases Of q
similar character, which have either
received no explanation at all or else
have been explained away entirely"
Dr. Gibson calls attention to the fact
that dreams depend on some other
media than those known as the ave
senses. A conclusive evidence Ia ia
vor Of this view Is found In the cir
cumstances that even the blind are
able to see In dreams, as witness ak
periences recorded by Helen Keller,

unavoidable that 1t is only a. far 40

EFFECT OF IMAGINATION.

Man Bitten by HARMLESS Snake BE-
lieved He Was Dying.
An English physician In India once
told Of an extraordinary case Of the
effect of Imagination ON the physical
system. He says:
''Some time ago on visiting the hos
pital one morning was told that a
night suffering from a snake bite and
that he was very low. found him In
a state of severe prostration; he was
hardly able to speak and seemed to be
In state Of great depression. He and
bis friends said that during the night
In going into his hut a snake bit him
on the foot; that he was much alarmed
and rapidly passed into a state Of in
sensibility, when they brought him to
the hospital. They and he considered
that he was dying and evidently re-
garded his condition as hopeless.
ION being asked for a description Of
the snake, they said they had caught
1t and brought it with them in bottle.
The bottle was produced, and the
snake turned out to be small, limo
cent lycodon. 1t was alive, though
somewhat injured by the treatment II
had received.

friends that it was harmless, and with
some difficulty making them believe It

appear and he left the hospital as

NO PLACE FOR DRUNKARD.
Industrial World Reserves Good Po-
sitions For Sober Men.

The man in business or the man with
a family has no excuse for getting
drunk, and the habit of doing SO will
ruin his chances in life or the OBJ
tanning Of steady and profitable en-
ployment quicker than anything else.
The industrial world has great oppor-
tunities for the sober man, but there
is no place for the one who INDUCES to
excess In alcoholic stimulants. Whisky
has ruined more homes, destroyed
more lives, bankrupted more enter
prises than any combination Of de-
structive agents.
Inebriety is now generally recognized
as disease by the medical profession
and treated as such. Science has come
to the aid Of the unfortunate, and it
has been made possible to remove the
alcoholic craving, which is the root of
the drink habit, and restore the patient
to a normal state of health In short
time without detention from his or
binary business.
The Oppenheimer Institute Treat
ment is especially devised to overcome
such cases Of alcoholism, no matter
how serious the complaint may be or
how long stimulants have been used to
excess. The excellent results attend
ing the administration of the treat
ment are attested to by many well
known men Of national reputation and
of highest standing and character.
A periodic drinker In the employ Of
the Otis Elevator company was borne
with because his services were so val
liable. When he went on his periodic
debauch it was necessary to put three
men In his place to do his work. At
last when his furious craving came on
him he hurried to the Oppenheimer In
stitute, and In few hours his craving
was gone, and in four weeks he was
restored and for three years has been
entirely free from the periodic attack.
Any one interested in the subject of
alcoholism, its treatment and cure, is
invited to write for instructive and in
teresting literature ON the subject to
the Oppenheimer Institute, New York.

Kindness to Apache Child Prevented
Trouble With the Indians.
A doll once averted war with red
skins. An American general was try
ing to put band of Apaches back on
their own territory. from which they
had persisted in breaking out, but
could not catch them without killing
them, and that he did not wish to do.
His men captured a little Indian girl
and took her to the fort. She was
quiet all day. but her beady black eyes
watched everything When night came,
however. she broke down, Just as any
white child would have done. The men
tried In vain to comfort her, but finally
the agent borrowed a beautiful doll
from an officers wife, which had be-
longed to her little daughter, and prom
issd the Apache girl that she could
have 1t II her sobs ceased. She then
fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was
clasped In her arms. Eventually the
little Apache girl, with her doll, was
sent back to her people. When the
child reached the Indians with the doll

sensation among them, and ne next

ed to move back to its own territory

FORGING h.llQulTlEs.

Even Experts Tricked In Dfstfn-
gushing Real From the Spurious.
Dr. Oliver Tonks in the Outlook Mag
azine shows the difficulties Of distin-
gushing real from spurious antiquities.
Here Is one of his anecdotes:
At times the forger Is content to take
ancient fragments of ancient vases or
statuettes and complete them with clay
or plaster of paris. These new ''old"
wares he then paints up and passes to
the unsuspecting. and sometimes sus-
Pecting, purchaser as real antiques.
The story is told of a forger In Athens
that he protested that when he had fin
lshed improving" an antique he him
self could not always tell where the
genuine part ceased and the false be-
gan. Under such circumstances Il
may not be wondered that at times
even experts are tricked.
The following incident shows how
forgeries turn up in very unexpected
places: One hot day party OF US were
toiling up steep ascent In the island
Of Melos when we saw above US
number of Greeks seated ON a paraDet
Of ruins. We had been cruising long
enough among the Egean islands to
know that these people of the place had
seen our ship drop anchor in the water
below and were now waiting to sell us
antiquities. At the sight Of these
Greeks one Of our number, a tirsless
ScotchwOman, scrambled ahead of us
to the top, where we could soon see
her, wind blown and outlined against
the blue sky, bargaining for a vase.
When we reached the top after a more
leisurely climb she put her purchase In
my hands and asked me what thought
Of 1t. My hands were moist with per

and for answer to her question l held
them out to her all blackened from
grasping the vase. The sweat had at
tackled the modern paint with which It
was covered, and by thus coming OF
on my hands the color had betrayed it's
falsity. The whole vase had been
patched up from six or seven pieces
and then painted over to conceal the
