Weeds should be kept down
till they will not be capable of
further injury. The main object
is to see that they do not pro-
duce seed, for nature in her de-
sire to prevent the extinction of
any species, endows them with
the power of producing seed
when very young and small. The
morning glory, cookie burr and
many other weeds will make
seed pods when not over six
inches high.

''Dear Sir: 1t is with great pleasure that
I write you that although in 1909 when I
entered your sanatorium for the treat
ment of the drug habit I was in very
poor health, only weighed 100 pounds, and
was using six grains of morphine per
day, hypodermically, consequently l could
only sleep when under the influence of
the drug, and as a result l was a most
miserable woman. 1t was terrible thing
for me to feel that | was a slave to the
drug, and could not quit 1t, but fortu-
nately for me my husband realized that
the of morphine had become a disease
with me, and that | could not discon-
tinue Its use without proper treatment
There are a great many people in our sec
tion of the country who have visited
your sanatorium both for whisky and
drug additions, and having heard so much
of your success and the ease with which
you restored drug patients to normal
condition, concluded to visit your sana-
forum, where l was entirely relieved of
all necessity or demand for narcotic drugs
of every kind, and with little or no pain
or inconvenience.
whilst there l gained considerable in
flesh, and since returning home have i'm
proved greatly and now weigh about 100
pounds, which Is a gain of 80 pounds
over my weight when | went to your san
atorium. 1 can now enjoy life, conse-
quently my husband and l are happy,
whereas before visiting your sanatorium
we were miserable.
II send you my picture in order that
you may see the great Improvement. Now
If you desire TO do so you cannot only
publish the letter but you can also pub
lish my photo, not that | want to gain any
publicity, but I am willing for you to do
this in order that other women who are
suffering as I suffered may know where
they can get relief. 1 will most GER
tair1y take pleasure in answering any
Inquiries that may come to me.

pressed in spirit. 1 had almost reached
the conclusion that l never would get

Finally, l went TO a drug store in
Lexington and bought a bottle The
promptnesS with which it helped me
was astonishing, and 1 continued the
treatment. Gradually L gained strength.
Ny appetite returned, and l began to
sleep well at night.
In few weeks I was feeling like a
different man, and my recovery was
more rapid. Three bottles of Coopers
