| this late date. Before | tell you my
motive in writing You / want to tell you
that have never taken dose OF Nor
phine since left the James Sanatorium.
| am sure there has never heen a patient
that received more perfect cure than
did. My son, who also took trea tment
with you, never resorted to the use of
the drng again. Now, Mr.. James, ! want
to ask you what you wonld let me have
the VIII skey, wine and beer cure at by
sending three orders at time. There
are three gentlemen that am personally
Interested in for whom want treatment.
