Charles B. Towns is not a doctor but
he has proven to the medical world that
he knows more about habit-forminG

Charles b. Towns sanely and practically

You say? But just remember they come
from the lips of a man who modestly an
nounced fifteen years ago that the drug
habit could be cured In few days and
proved it.
Towns is recognized as the world s
greatest authority on the drug habit. He
has had thousands Of cases OF drug ad-
Giction cured under his supervision. He
does what he sets about to do.
He is a doer-not a talker. The other
month Henry Ford summoned him to his
plant in Detroit, He told him sorrow
fully that he had found several of his
best workmen addicted to drugs. He felt
that now was the time to save them and
Towns was the man to 90 II. Towns

Special Correspondent OF The Washington Herald.
Petrograd, July l9.-Five million men
are believed to be engaged in the gigan-
tic battle which is raging in Poland and
Galicia, with Warsaw the objective of
the Teutonic hosts. Never in the world 5
history has there been conflict in
which so many men and big guns were
engaged In the sector of Southern Po-

The great struggle Of the Germans Is
to REACH the Lublin- Cholm Railroad, but
Grand Duke Nicholas has regrouped his
Russian forces with such skill that the
Germans are hard put. The Russians
are assisted by the topography of the
country, the battlefield lying amid
sWamps and stretches of thick under

There are three great German armies
which ars trying TO drive against the
Polish capital They are commanded by
Gen. Won BuelOw, whose forces lie upon
the Windau River: Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, whose lcgions are battling
around Przasnysz, and Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, who is moving against
the Lublin-Cholm Railway. These are
regarded as three OF the Ilosl UFilidilt
soldiers in Germany, and their presence
in the eastern theater of war shows the

Towns was born In La Grange, Ga,
in 1862. He has lived in New York since
1895. He Is very wealthy but his sym
pathies are with the poor. He would
rather claim a down and OUT than
make a fortune When he became con-
WINGED that he had the right system OF
treating drug fiends, he did not stop TO
talk about it. He plunged into the thick
OF the greatest forming drug coun-
try in the world-china. He established
hospitals in the Far East for opium
users and, even though his life was in
jeopardy constantly. he stuck to his task
and witnessed the successful treatment
of 400 patients IN Pekin. Tientsn and
Shanghai
When man has reclaimed 1000 men
from a living hell he might be pardoned
for mentioning the fact. but the news
of Towns success did not reach Amer
lea through him. 1t came from Chinese
government officials. Magazine writers OF
prominence were Immediately dispatched
to the Far East and they confirmed the
wonderful cures brought about by the
trim young fighter.
Just recently Towns with his own
funds established the imposing hospital
known as The Charles B. Towns Hospital
at 293 Central Park west. 1t is in one
of the finest resident sections of New
York and overlooks Central Park. II
Is here that Towns does his work He
has q competent medical staff, but does
not divorce his patients from their own
medical advisors. The treatment Is car

medicines employed have been given to
