fl like thousands of others Of our pro- fessioa, have unfortunately tempered Wlth morphia and cocaine, with what result Is nseless to state, but it was not long before I realized l needed relief. Neither was long in realizing that hundreds pf my brethren were in the same pltlaDle pr.dicament. l consulted with those or the profession who had never taken the dru,s and they gave me no hope. 1helr advice was to quit the use of the drug at once. I then consulted with several O the profession who were as deep in the mud as l was in the mlre, ana they could only tell Of innumerable at- tempts to gain l--eir freedom and now a much exploited cure had taken lhe drug from them by gradual reduction and the substitution of tonics, and of thelr experiences with quick cures and yet had left their nerve system in such sore and lacerated condition that they were hardly out of sight of the institute before they were forced, through pain' to resort to the uruG again. They were not cured, but reduced.
 Ut was not long before l had tried every known cure @ and finally l ap- piled to a brother physician who had gI~ It experience in treating nerve troubles of all kinds. He prescribed bro- lnide of sodium in very large doses. l continued it's use for d month or more. At the expiration of that time the bro-
  ton Of universal depression, with poor circulation, and progressively increasing paralysis in the lower extremities.
 In this horrible condition l visited and consulted the medical director of the Jarnos Sanatorium at Memphis, Tenn found in him not only physician who could cure optimism and alcoholism, but a man who was capable of sympathizing with and ging those who needed sympathy and encouragement most. There were then under his care number or physicians. They were from all parts of the United States, and were as happy and jolly lot of men as I ever saw Each al every man felt and knew he was be- ing cured, and during my stay at the Sanatorium l saw opium, morphine, CO., oaine, choral and whisky cases in all stages of treatment cured and sent home free and happy They suffered little or no pain or inconvenience; slept well, etc.
 When I entered the Sanatorium l weighed 1l0 pounds was using morphia Rnd he omide of sodium, and was conse- nu-ntly, as stated above in a profound state of bromism and extreme lethargy At the expiration Cf four weeks l was entirely free from the use.
 '"rhe James Treatment is administered hypoder micaly or internally and is varied to suit the peculiar condition existing in the different cases, the amount of anti nOte and eliminant used in each case vary in in proportion to the amount of mor- phine consumed. also varying to the idio- syncransies of the patient. There is no secret formula. The symptomatic as well as the resultant neurathenic conditions are overcome through scientific applica- t!Oa of medicine, measures and hygienic methods known to the intelligent medical world aided by static electricity, electric massage, etc.
 Tt is now five years since I took treat ment and I weigh 1S5 pounds. and having been the recipient of such results through the James Sanatorum Treatment, and having seen a number of almost miracu- lols cures accomplished. feel it my duty as a physician to make known to the profession my experience, that those who arc interested may investigate for them selves, conaequently l write this letter for publication, and will take pleasure in answering inquiries
