WHAT A NEWSPAPER
 MAN HHS TO SAY
ABOUT HIS VISIT TO JAMES
 SANATORlUM.
A Few Facts Picked Up by Him on the Grounds-How He Received the Quickest and Most Satisfactory Benefts-His Advice to Persons Contemplating Treatment.

The following testimonial is from a man well and favoraby known in news paper circles lie frankly acknowledges his skepticism and his convictions:
 MT. Charles B. James James Sana- torlum. Memphis, Tenn.-Dear Sir l have often thought that few words from myself anent your Sanatroium and method of treatment for inebriates, etc., based upon my actual observation. would perhaps, be read by some of my many Friends and acquaintances, both in Mem phis and the surrounding country, and in iuenee some of those who do not lead ahe cleanly life.
 ''I spent one week at the James sana- torium in August last, and went there q strong skeptic and disbeliever in both your treatment and medicine While was not drunkard in the true sense of ahe word, yet l had been imbibing en- tirely too much and saw before me the road which leads to destruction if fol- lowed. l suddenly made up my mind to see you and give your treatment a fair trial, though l believed at the time It would weaken my will power
 Nevertheless, l resolved upon obey lng your rules and regulations, and watch carefully the result. ] found Gas so many have said) the sanatorium beautifully situated and very homelike, with quite a sprinking of people who stand well as the world goes, comfortably installed and on the road to health and. let us hope, wisdom
 My attention was called to your printed rules, and care was taken to in- form me how important 1t was to obey them, observing the hour for treatment, the prohibition of tobacco twenty minutes before and after treatment hours, and at once saw the feasibility and obeying them.
 T reached there at 5;30 on Satur- day afternoon, took one drink that same might, and have not touched drop since; and 1t has been some time since took treatment.
 "I felt the invgoratIng benefits of the treatment, much to my surprise, the sec ond day after my arrival, and in- stead of the will power weakening, felt fit growing stronger constantly, my bodily health making long leaps toward nor mal condition, until at the end of the week l found I had increased in weight six pounds, and was practically fitted to take up the lines of business. I am always willing to be convinced of an error of Judgment, and l all the more cheer fully give you and the public this testi- monial in your favor. 1 now feel in the same condition l did before l ever touched Intoxicating fluids, with no desire for it. and enjoying good health. A good many people think it disgrace to take the treatment. I must confess that l was sn the same category, but l know now the disgrace lies in getting into such a condition as to necessitate the treat ment; the latter is really the oasis in the desert.
 Now I feel confident that if any one (be he Jew or Gentile) goes there in the right spirit and places himself unre- Bervedly in the hands of your most cour- teous and efficient corps of physicians, he will come away feeling he did before the drop of liquor ever passed his lips standing upright before his fellow man his equal in all respects-and, "a new in dividual'
 l know of no other method of treatment that accomplishes so much. Very sincere ly your. "C. M. BEDFORD
