 CONFESSION Falls Into Hands of MdQlS-

WHO PROMPTLY LOCATES HIM
The Bankers Confession Bears Good Results and Aids in Restoring to His Friends and Family An other Who Had Fallen
 a Victim.

A few Sundays ago there appeared in this paper an article from Col. R. II. Anderson, an ex-banker of Brownsville, Tenn, who told of his visit to Memphis and how he went to James, Sanatorium apparently in the interest of another and that he finally concluded that he needed treatment, and that after a three-weexs' course of treatment how he returned home a thoroughly cured man with no longer any desire, craving or demand for his appetizer or ''night-cap." Judging from the follow ing communication Col. Andersons man. ly confession did much good and was partly instrumental in restoring to so- brety another valuable citizen who, in his appreciation of Col. Anderson's kind ness to him, whilst they were fellow patients at the James Sanatorium, writes him a letter, which is published by per mission, telling him oI his final restora- ton to good health and happiness. Such letters as this display an interest that every man should feel in his fellow-man and which feeling seems to be almost universal among those who have gained their freedom through the James treat ment The letter is as follows:
 "Col. R. H. Anderson, Brownsville, Tenn:
 Dear sr-A copy of letter written by you to MT. c. B. James of Memphis, under date of January 2T, 1906, calls up in my memory very wildly the night of February 22, when you met me at the train, and no doubt you well remember my woe-b -begone condition on that memor- able occasion. l hoped to have the pleasure of more intims.e acquaintance with you while at the Sanatorium but you had gone before l was aware of your anticipated departure, and l now tt,o l. Uai a the kindness which you extended to me in that dark hour and ordeal Were it not for refreshing showers of the milk of human kindness, occasionally vouch- safed to man by his fellow men, our path ways would be thorny indeed. l found everything at the James Sanatorium fully up to and beyond my most san guine expectation. It was my good fortune to form acquaintances there which were pleasant beyond description. and which will ever be held in grateful remembrance I completed the twenty one days trea tment on the night of March 15. and returned home the follow ing day feeling like free man, who had been rescued from fate far worse than shipwreck. and whose destinies have again been placed in his own hand, with mental and physical ability to steer his bark "cear of the breakers" unless he should W1ll1uliV dHu utiiDcidleiy turn like a dog to his vomit again.
 "Since my return home, it is very ap- parent that my wife and children are en- toying a degree of happiness. to which they have long been strangers l have every assurance that my friends are stili my friends. The hill of life does not look so rugged and steep as heretofore, and in the midst of these sacred en- vironments and incentives. I feel like exclaiming in the language of the poet:
 '''High heaven that heard the solemn
 VOW,
 That VOW renewed shall daily near, Till in lifes latest hour I bow,
 And bless in death a bond so clear With kindest regards to you and yours, and wishing you happiness and success always, I am your friend,
