Show DOWNWARD HE WAS LED. Gradually and IrresJstably the Subtle Habit Hab-it Fastened Itself Upon Him Until Ufa Seemed Hardly Worth the tiring. To the Salt Lake Elisor Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah: Gentlemen I take this method in acknowledging to you the deep sense of gratitude I feel for the beneficent treatment I received through the course recently taken in the Ensor institute. For over thirty years I have been a slave to the liquor habit, the effect of which had taken such strong hold of my system as to lead myself and friends to believe that I was hopelessly doomed to share the fate of a common drunkard. All effort at reformation signally failed and neither the power of the will or the ordinary or-dinary treatment of reputable physicians couia in a measurable aegree eneci a iavor-ablc iavor-ablc change in my behalf. Every succeeding debauche indulged in only increased my appetite and gradually and irresistably I was lead on to greater and more frequent indulgences until I had reached that stage of degradation in which all hope for reformation w3 abandoned. In this deplorable condition I was influenced by friends aud the appeal of a faithful and patient wife to enter your institute for the euro of the liquor habit. 1 need uot refer you to the result; suffice it to say that after three week's treatment. I can truthfully attest as to the efficacy of the cure wrought aud that when I emerged from the institute all desire for intoxicants had vanished, and with the system thoroughly thor-oughly purged and cleansed, I feel no inclination in-clination whatever to return to the curse from which your treatment had so happily divorced me, "aud I now feel that the cure is rft'irtht and jxrmcment. - To any one contemplating treatment in the Ensor Institute, either for liquor, morphine, opium, cocaine aud tobacco habits, I will say that the treatment Is safe, effective and pleasant, carrying with it the results sought with no deleterious effect to follow, leaving the patient in condition the" same as though he had never been a victim to a curse that so readily yields to the potency of the Ensor cure. Hoping that other unfortunates may avail themselves of your treatment, I am gratefully yours, E. 0. Holmes. Salt Lake City, July 8, 1802. |
