By any other known method OF
treatment a patient so far victim

The first treatment has been admins
tered at hospital in New York and
the unfortunates have been sent TO the
country later TO be rebuilt physically.
Patients Gain Weight
Some Of the cases now at Warwick
Farms show that the addicts have
gained about ten pounds week. They
will be kept there for at least sixty
days. There is but one nurse on the
farm. and one housekeeper, who also
acts as a nurse.
One Of the main features Of the cure
will be a considerable saving of money
to the city. II will probably lead TO q
reduction of the large nursing STATS OF

Treatment by Former
Naval Surgeon General
Kept Secret
ADDICTS CARED FOR
AT ~. Y. CITY'S FARM
One Patient, Mere Human
Shell, Able to Walk in
IS Hours

Under the direction Of DR., Charles T.
stokes, former surgeon general of the
United States Navy, newly discovered
treatment for the cure of the drug and
drink habits is being tried with re-
rarkable success at Warwick Farms,
the city's retreat for drug addicts and
drunksrds in Orange County.
Experiments have been in progress
for three weeks, and treatment admin
istered to twenty-five patients has been
successful in every case. The cure is
said 10 eliminate the suffering which
follows denial of me drug and the
acute symptoms disappear in two or
three days.
The experiments are being carried
on under the personal direction of DR..
Stokes. head of the Navy Medical Corps
during tho Roosevelt and Taft admins
trations and now director Of Warwick
Farms. Much secrecy surrounds the
details Of the new cure. DR.. Stokes
was chsgrined to learn the mat
ter had become public. as result OF
letters written to Presiding Justice
Frederic Kcrnochan, of Special Ses-
sions, and Chief Magistrate William
McAdoo, asking that as many sddicts
as possible be sent TO Warwick Farms,
50 the new treatment might be given
a speedy and satisfactory test. Dr.
Stokes informed the presiding justice
that the worst cases Of drug or alco-
holic affection are preferred for treat
ment.
Wants TO Test Treatment
III would have preferred to continue
our experiments for long time with
out publicity" said Dr. Stokes. while
the results obtained from the spplics-
ton Of the new method have been
very gratifying thus far, we do not
know that the cures are permanent.
Tho scientific value of our system is
as yet undetermined. When We think
we have established this the treatment
will be explained fully through the New
York Academy of Medicine"
DR.. Stokes said he wanted TO apply
the cure 70 at least one hundred pa
tients, keeping a careful record OF each
case before he prepared any statement
on the new remedy.
Those familiar with drug cure. how
ever. point out that the results thus
far obtained by DR.. Stokes are remark
able. The physician verified the report
of the treatment Of a man who had
been a slave of morphine for seven
years. When brought 20 Warwick
Farms he was a shell of a human
