ALCOHOLISM A DISEASE : WHICH WE GUARANTEE TO CURE There was no hope for the victim of alcohol until medical science demonstrated that alcoholism was a disease. Fines and imprisonment never restrained intoxication and never will. Good resolutions won't quench a burning thirst for whiskey, nor will charms, pledges and secret home deliberate victim of vice and regarded, as a criminal. punish hereditary victims of Consumption, Rheumatism or Dyspepsia. Up to that time the inebriate was considered a It would be just as humane and enlightened to remedies overpower so malignant a disease as alcoholism. When a slave to drink is deprived of alcohol the nervous system cannot respond to the performance of its functional duties and if the victim heroically abstains from stimulants the brain and nervous system have to bear the brunt of the battle against the demon, alcohol. Alcoholism is purely a disease of the nervous system which induces an habitual or periodical, intense, irresistible desire for alcoholic stimulation, accompanied by paralysis of the will power. the desire for stimulants will disappear and the will power will regain its strength. This morbid craving and infirm will power combined constitute the disease.

Women patients are at liberty to reside at private hotel, if they desire, where they will be visited by our physician as often as neceeary. A SCIENTIFIC CURE FOR | ALCOHOLISM Our cure is based upon the latest advanced knowledge of the etiology and pathology of the disease of Alcoholism, and was discovered, eight years ago, after careful research and study, by DR. E. A. HAWKS, who has, within eight years, permanently cured 4700 victims of alcoholic intemperance. His experience has demonstrated thoroughly that no remedy can be prepared which will cure the liquor habit at home. Each and every case of alcoholic intemperance requires treatment according to its symptoms. The man in the midst of a spree needs different treatment from the so-called “moderate drinker,” and the man with delirium tremens needs more heroic treatment than either of.the other patients, and he needs it at once. Therefore, the same method cannot be applied in all these cases. Each of our cases is treated separately, and the patient receives proper and immediate attention. Our treatment is a safe and healthy remedy administered through the natural channels, the stomach, and not only antidotes the alcoholic poisoning, but restores the shattered nervous system and rebuilds the wasted physical and mental powers. In a word, it cures promptly and permanently. We do not employ hypodermics or poisonous drugs, neither are there any disagreeable features attending our methods. ‘Physicians who refer their patients to us may be sure they will be returned to them permanently cured of their desire for stimulants, and prepared to resume their duties in a proper manner. Letters or verbal communications made to us by physicians or their patients will be held in strict confidence.
