free of its strangling hold Perhaps you belong to the great army of moderate drinkers who are content with a few drinks a day You dont show the effects A I of your mild indulgences but those few drinks you are taking daily are slowly but surely underminingyour constitution they are i ripening the seeds of misery disease and degradation They are feeding a lurking demon that may yet rise up and make you the murderer of your own flesh and blood Men are pretty nearly alike the world over and whiskey is the same sort of poison everywhere and everywhere its mission is to destroy Its terrible history is written in the misery and shame and ruin of a hundred generations and what whiskey did for those millions of unfortunate mortals who tampered with it so sure will it do the same for you 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 Up to that time the inebriate was considered a deliberate victim of vice and regarded as a criminal Fines and imprisonment never restrained intoxication and never will It would be just as humane and enlightened to punish hereditary victims of Consumption Rheumatism or Dyspepsia Good resolutions wont quench a burning thirst for whiskey nor will charms pledges and secret home remedies overpower so malignant a disease as alcohqlism 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 This morbid craving and infirm will power combined constitute the disease If this functional disarrangement be removed by proper treatment the desire for stimulants will disappear and the will power will regain its strength THREEDAV LIQUOR CURE INSTITUTE INCORPORATED Executive Offices 301 302 Starr King Building 121 Geary St

ALCOHOLISM 1 Our cure is based upon the latest advancedknowledge of the etiology and pathology of the disease of Alcoholism and was discovered eight years ago after careful research and study by DR A HAWKS who has within eiht 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 mtdst 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 safeand healthy jemedy 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 attendingour methods Physicians who refer their patients to usmaybe suretheyHvill be returned to them permanently cured of their desire for stimulants
