|SANATORIUM THAT
SHOWS BIG RESULTS
Drunkards Can Be Cured Right
at Home-There Is Much to
Be Thought Of in Treat
ment of Unfortunates.
A Home That Is
a Home. .

There has been lot of talk all over
Virginia about prohibition and ante
saloon business and State wide prohi-
bition. and all the like OF that. as
a matter or fact, the papers for the
past two or three weeks have been .
more or less crowded with news about
prohibition and anti saloon league
legislation. Nevertheless, the fact re-
mains that whiskey drinking Is some
thing of disease. and there are some
modern doctors who are of the opinion
that 1t is durable disease.
There has been great real OF talk
about sanatoriums for the cure OF
various troubles of mind and body, and
there have been many things to say
about sanatoriums for the special cure
OF unfortunate people who have been
caught in the grip OF the whiskey
habit. Some OF these so-called cures
have been shown to be fakes. 1t is
possibly true that Richmond has been
afflicted with some such fakes 1t is
quite true that there Ia no better loca-
ton for sanatorlum that can really
cure the whiskey or the opium, or the
drug habit than Richmond, blu. Rich
mond wants to sec the real character
of tho goods before It puts it's indorse-
ment upon anything that comes along.
Showing the Goods.
When the DIR. II. l.. Devine Sana-
torium, Inc, opened up in Highland
Park. suburb OF Richmond. and set
forth the claim that by tho formula of
DR.. Devine It could cure the whiskey
evil in short while, anywhere from
five to dozen days or more. the people
took on kind of Missouri idea, and
said show us the thing first.
The managers of the sanatcrium took.
the people at their word, and said we
Will show you all right. Accordingly
they advertised that It was a. case OF
cure or no pay, and for several months
the institution was run on that basis.
some of the best men of Richmond
who had faith In the cure and the good
ness of II. being members of the com
pany and putting up their good cash
to back their Judgment.
The workings and the results of sew
eral months have shown that the
Devine researches have proven that
the whiskey evil Is n disease and that
IL is durable disease Just as any nery-
Gus trouble is durable.
Finding this to be true certain Rich
mond doctors and capitalists and phil
anthropists saw proper to put their
money and their time and their energy
Into this proposition and the result is
that sanitorium for the treatment and
cure of whiskcy troubles and opium and
other kinds of drug addictions has been
established at zoo Fourth Avenue,
Highland Park. or North Richmond
AS 1t WINS.
The good people who inaugurated
this place more as n matter Of help to
the unfortunate than for the profit that
might afterwards come were fortunate
In the selection OF a home for the UNI
fortunate. If 1t may so be called. Any
how, they found a most charming sub
urban site, a real country home with
all of the advantages OF the nearby
city conveniences.
The location is charming in every
way, land 1T is no wonder that with
tho good results of the treatment and
the happy home that Is furnished TO
the unfortunates while being treated
the place has made business that has
overrun Its present capacity.
1t is no longer question as to cure.
That has been settled by medical men,
for they say the disease can be cured,
and the only question is as to where
and best can 1t be cured.
This saratorium. over in Highland
Park. which has plant that cost q
great deal of money. showing the judg
,hent OF the financial hackers thereof.
has some very fine recommendations.
They certainly have n good plant, and
they have the endorsement as to man
agcment of some OF the best people In
Virginia.
