Los ANGELES. Feb. s.-Because the
Paragraph, which Arch Hoxsey wore around

Excessive Use OF Liquor.
The temperance advocate and total
abstainer are strong in their declafa-
ton that drunkenness is a mean, low
and disgraceful habit, from which any
ordinary person can free himself by
the exercise OF his will power alone.
Medical men. by patient research.
have demonstrated that drunkenness
is a poisoning and that the ,drunkard
is one in need Of medical attention.
The disease OF alcoholism can surely
be cured, thanks to the Neal treat
ment, which has demonstrated that It
lie an intallible remedy striking at once
at the roots OF the trouble. There has
always been a demand for the treat
ment for habitual drunkenness which
can be administered internally, with
out the use of dangerous hypodermio
injections. -.s s-,.s
Experience has taught that no treat
ment other than the Neal Cure has
ever been successful in treating drunk
enness in less than four weeks time.
1t makes no difference how long a
man has been drinking. how much or
how little he drinks, or what he drinks,
the Neal treatment has never failed
TO cure in three days time, and with
out the use OF that devilish little tor
mentor of the flesh, the hypodermic
syringe. Just bear in mind that there
is no such thing as a secret cure" for
drunkenness, and you are taking great
risk In administering these remedies.

for goal from foul and basket. Carrier
got two brilliant ones and Gibson tossed
another soon after. Ragged play followed.
On a toss up II. Brown batted the ball
into the basket for Ames. Gibson got
another and Carrier followed with another
