1t Is rather an uncommon thing for
an institution engaged in the cure Of
alcoholic or narcotic patients to be
able to publish testimonials from per
sons who have taken treatment, and
stood true TO their ere for any great
length Of time,
The following testimonial is from
Mr. G. A. Langston, who called on
Chas. II James, the originator Of the
James cure" to tell him how happy
he was and to let him see how W II
ne looked. Mr.. Langston took treat
ment at the James Sanatorium, Mem
phis Tenn, nine years ago and his
testimonial Will prove all tho more
valuable as an evidence that there IS
a permanent cure for those who want
TO be cured, and it Is only one Of hun
dreds Of testimonials received as to
similar cases cured al the James San
atorium. In a letter recently received
from Mr. Langston he reports that he
still free from all desire and cray-
ing for alcoholic and narcotic stimu-
lants, and that he would like very
much TO become connected with
James Sanatorium, in order that he
might go forth into the world as a
living example and make known oI
suffering humanity the good work that
Is being daily accompl shed at James
Sanatorium.
The following letter Is from Mr.
Langston ana was written some tim
ago. 1t shows his appreciation Of
the kind attention ana treatment
while he was at the Sanatorlum.
Having been successfully treated
at your institution for the habitua |
use Of both whiskey and morphine for
eighteen years standing it is with |
pleasure that | herewith hand you my |
testimonial, which you are at liberty |
to use as you wish.
MY case was a bad one, and the I
prime of my life and manhood was
spent in misery and ncthinguesa,
which app airs to me as a blank, and
the continuous use of liquors and en-
Shaving drugs had SO stunted and par
alyzed my finer sensibilities and moral
and intellectual nature that | cared
little for myself, my friends and SO
ciety in general The soci ty of
