 Very Happy.

Chas. B. James, Memphis. Tenn Dear Sir: When I began your Home Treatment for Drug Addiction, 1 was one of the most miserable persons on earth. When under the influence of the drug I was low-spirited, and had no hope of the future. and felt myself an outeast. It was only few days after beginning your treatment that l re- affixed that the injurious effect of the drug was being overcome; consequently the miserable gloom that had overcast my life so long was rapidly being up- lifted, and a ray of hope was to be seen in the distance, and by following your rules and regulations in the use of your remedies, and taking proper care of myself this gloomy feeling entirely disappeared. and I am today as happy as any one can be,
 Before taking treatment I was in the bed all. the time; l was no good to my self or my family, now 1 get up in the morning, enjoy my breakfast and take great interest in my family and my work. l thank God that 1 wrote you when I did Don't worry about me ever using the drug again. feel as if there was not enough money fin the world to cause me to ever take the vile stun again Knowing that your reme- dies will give relief to any one who will be honest with himself. your treatment and his family, do not hesi- tate to say to you that if you think my letter will benefit one poor suffering z mortal and cause Jim to turn from his drug to your remedies and get relief you can use it. and should 1t be the means of causing some poor unfortun- ate to throw off his shackles will feel that I have at least done one poor soul and his family everlasting good.
