Him TO LIVE
IN A THREE-RooMEp MoRTeAeED
COTTAGE.
TOOK THE JHMES TREATMENT
And Now Lives In a First-cIass Home
of Ten Rooms, Free of Debt and
Thirteen Thousand Dollars Ahead,
So Says J. w. Lockwood, One of the
Leading Contractors of Paducah, Ky.

The following testimonial from one of
Paducah's leading contractors shows that
he not only considers the James treat
ment of great benefit to the physical man,
but that it is business investment that
will pay large dividends:
"Offce of j. w Lockwood & Son, Con-
tract Carpenters and Builders.
Mr. Chas. b. James, care James Sana-
forum, Memphis, Tenn:
Dear Sir and Kind Friend-I feel it
my duty to write you and tell you that
although 1t has been five years since
took treatment, 1 am still free from all
desire or craving for strong drinks, or
drinks of any kind; and as a matter of
fact | have discontinued drinking pop,
sweet cider or any other kind of drink
over the bar. a
"Sinee l quit drinl1ing l stand well with
the business men of this community, and
especially so with one certain saloon man
who would not sell me whisky when 1
was on a spree He seems to appreciate
my sobriety and shows his appreciation
by having given me thousands of dollars
worth of work since ! took your treat
ment. In fact, | do more work for the
whisky men of this city than any con-
tractor here. They say they can trust me
now but when | used to get drunk they
finish it. Now they never ask me for
bond
Some of the men here ask me If / am
not afraid to work around where there
is whisky. | tell them that getting
cured is not like quitting of your own
accord When you quit of your own
accord the diseased condition of the
nervous system still remains the same
and you crave whisky at times, but when
talra diseased H.
dition of the nervous system is cured and
consequently there is no longer any crav-
ing for alcoholic stimulants.
Lived In Three Rooms.
"Financially / have succeeded since my
visit to you five years ago. | got home
Christmas eve; only stayed with you
three weeks and when | left You my mind
was made up that | would never drink
again | stuck to my resolution conse-
quently instead of now living in three
room cabin on which was a $500 mort
gage, as | did when / visited your sana-
torium, | now own a nice home in four
squares of Broadway, on Fourth street,
this city which | could sell at any time
for $500. and in addition to this | have
three houses on South Seventh street. on
which | get good rents have also bought
10 acres of land one mile from the city,
and am now building a house on 1t which
will cost me over $4,000 when finished
"Since taking treatment in addition to
supporting my family ! have cleared over
$4,000 which proves the Sl25 | paid you
for trea tment was better paying invest
ment than gold mine stock in California.
| now have contracts enough on hand 10
keep my men al work most of the win
ter am now building Langstaff & Orfns
saw mill and working from eighteen to
twenty-six men steady
MY wife has helped Inc save what |
have from my contracting business I
have the best wife in the world, and when
| came back from your place | told her
she had been too good to me when I was
drinking She always loved me, and spoke
q good word TO me even when | was
drinking, and never gave me cross an
swer or word. She had her fortune told
by an old woman about seven years ago
who told her she would sec better days
and so it has come TO pass. and what
caused it was my trip to James Sanator-
ium People now say that Bill Lockwood
is the luckest man on earth, and tell
them If they will quit drinking whisky,
gambling and live the proper kind of
lives, success and prosperity will come to
them and their families. | do not like to
brag on myself. but ii makes me feel
good to think what ] have now as com
pared with what / had when l went to
your sanatorium.
II had drank whisky since I was 10
years old and am now 43 years old,
and the thirst was growing on me rapidly
and I was neglecting my family. ] am
now enjoying perfect health. and never
have had a physician with me since |
left your sanatorium.
at is my intention to attend the next
reunion with my wife. We are both
anxious to meet those who, like myself,
have been relieved through your treat
ment.
Il herewith send you Il photo of my
self and my new home. With best re-
CARDS and best wishes from myself. wife
and our happy children. ] am. yours
truly. j. W. LOCK WOOD.
