2 BECKHftM REPLIES TO his juries, I-e Discusses Conditions in Breathitt County—Alleges That an Effort Was Been Made To Cast . Odium on the Entire State. Frankfort. Ky.. June 26.—Governor Beckham, in response to a great many requests, todax gave out the following statement in reference to his position in the Breathitt county matter: “Many letters have come tn me In the last few weeks, some from those who are friends, some from those who are not. urging me- to use radical measures in dealing with the unfortunate trouble in Breathitt county—to declare martial law and to have trials of the accused by court martial; to remove judges and other officials, and, in fact, to do most anything for which there is absolutely no warrant of law to do upon the part of the executive. A number of newspa pers in the state, some kindly in their feelings toward me. others most hostile and bitter, have come out in heavy edi torials and said. ‘lt was up to the gov ernor to do something' to put a stop to this lawlessness and crime. None of them, however, with one honorable ex ception. ever suggested, in their infinite wisdom, a plan to the governor as to what he should do. 1 have "been left In the dark by these sagacious critics as to whether it was best for me to con sume this lawlessness with fierx rhetoric and noisy pronunciations or to throw to the winds the constitution of my state and to boldly enter the scene of the trou ble with arm and ammunition, snap my fingers at judges, commonwealth's attor neys and juries, and defiantly proclaim •that I was the czar of Kentucky and not its chief peace officer, who humbly re spects the fundamental laws of his state.

How the Habit Is Formed. A gentleman connected xvith the Dr. , -ing Company gives an Instance ot a ealthy Atlanta man, recently cured of the morphine habit, who xvas taking chirty grains a day. "Hiw is the morphine habit usually formed," he xx'as asked. "Generally it is acquired unintention ally," he said. "Ir is rarely the case that a mail or a woman deliberately begins the morphine habit. I am •xirry to say, tl'i.: family physician is often re sponsib". unintentionally, ot course. A person lies un attack of muscular rhe *- inatism, we will say, or an excruciating visitation from neuralgia. A small quan tity ot morphine is administered. From an agony comparable to being drawn and quartered the sufferer passes into dreamy ecstney. This is repeated and the system come.s to demand the drug in ever-in creasing quantities, until the victim is ready to barter body and soul fqr the little white powder.” Against the power of this drug no man is safe who takes a single grain. It lays hffid on the will, it captures the nervous /system and makes prisoner the moral sensibilities. Like the great vam pire bat of South America it fans the sleeping v-ictim and lulls to slumber while It sucks tho life-blood. Morphine scothes but to slay. Once started on tho downward road to degradation and death the victim cannot unaided retrace his steps. A iband must be outstretched to save him or ho Is lost forever. Other Dangerous Drugs. Morphine is not the only drug that finds its victims, though it is the most generally used because Its effecls are the most agreeable. It does not produce the sickening effect of gum opium, ft is gen erally taken in the morning and the Ihypodermic injection is the favorite method. The secretary in the office of Dr. Ling & Co., the specialists in the treatment of the drug and whisky habits, was asked what orodwt of the laboratory in ailclition t*i morphine xvas being used to lie hurt of the public. He said: "The most striking tiling of this sort ■ :'t has ei'pie under my observation is ■i line. T’lmre are a number of other 'rugs that are tai;, n to quiet tlie nerves iml induce sleep. 1 know of men who are the slaves of some of those prepara tions. They get •vorrled over business matters ami begin their use and find too late that they cannot leave them off. 'Hie man who takes a drug to induce sleep is on very dangerous ground. Ho is playing xvith edged tools. When trou bled with Insomnia it is better to fight it out then and there than to meddle xvith insidious poisons. The risk is too great and the consequences too awful." Drug Habit Increasing. The number of persons addicted to the drug habit is Increasing. In their endeavor to escape present suffering many thous ands begin tho use of an opiate not real izing its terrible effects and Its over mastering power. It is like seeking safe ty in the deadly colls of the python, the great "rock snake,” the tenor of the In habitants of India. The little python just out of the egg is harmless. So seems tlie tiny bit of morphine which the sufferer first takes to escape pain. Rut like the python, the habit grows stronger and stronger, more and more of the drug is taken, the victim Is steadily enfolded within the deadly embrace from which he cannot extricate himself. There is a story In mythology of tho sirens whose songs lured sailors to destruction on rocky coasts, i'nfortunately the seductive power of morphine is not a fable. The surcease from sulf 'ring is a reality and with it comes a dreamy blissfulness and pain Is sunk in oblivion. Little does the victim realize that the velvet pathxvay along xvhieh he has started leads to such un speakable physical and mental torture, such blighting of the mind, such slaying of the soul, ending at last in a "deu of devils" as one of Dr. Long's patients 30 vividly describes it. Prey of the Unscrupulous. The helple-s victims of the morphine habit are the prey of the unscrupulous. Indeed, this is true of all who suffer from chronic, diseases. It Is easy to pretend to knoxvledge and the newspapers are filled with advertisements of remedies for dis eases that have baffled medical science. A quack was once asked regarding a patient: "What did you give him?” "I gave him some compound cathartic pills and some good advice,” was the re- For which, however, he charged his dupe a round fee. The quacks who prey upon morphine eaters frequently include opium in their alleged remedies so that the patient who thinks he is leaving off the morphine hab it it really taking as much of the drug as Some twelve or fifteen years ago the Dr. Long Remedy for the drug and whisky habits was discovered. This remedy does not contain any sort of narcotic and there is a standing reward of one thousand dol lars which will be paid to any one who will find in the Remedy an atom of opiate in any form. A knowledge of th" terrible work that Is being done by tho drug and whisky habits led several prominent scientific medical men in Atlanta to thorougb.lv In vestigate the Dr. Long Remedy and to watch Its effect. This was more than a dozen years ago and they proceeded xvith the utmost caution. i THERE’S HOPE FOR SUFFERERS. ? i SAYS REV. DR. A. R. HOLDERBY. ; *. I have had some opportunity to notice the efficacy of Dr. Long's t .* Remedy for the Whisky, Opium and Morphine habits. A number of ’J .• long standing cases have coms under my observation and I have seen a •> them successfully treated by D’r. ‘Long’s Remedy. £ -j- I feel sure that those who are addicted to the Whisky, Opium or « • t •> Morphine habit will be surprised at the marvelous results of this % ■£ remedy If they v.lll agree to give it a fair trial. -I- 1 believe this remedv to be a God-send to the drunkard and the «> ?

Pastor Moore Memorial Church. ® . e e •'vco-1-afi■ e k»vo l-o-I a-?ao'be-;-*fi-or-o-Fefi-®<• <r-‘-c-be-;- They found this remarkable fact, that the Remedy containing not a particle of opium, could nevertheless take 'he place of morphine, at the same time building up the system and restoring it to its normal condition without creating a sec ond drug habit, the patient being able to leave off the Remedy without the slight est inconvenience and xvith no desire to return to the morphine. The patient is not required to leave off the use of morphine entirely at first, but to gradually reduce the amount taken. If, for Instance, a man was taking ten grains a day. enough to kill nearly a dozen men, he would be required at tho start to reduce the amount to eight grains, the Remedy taking the place of the other two grains and steadily forti fying the system against the desire and the demand for tho opiate. The second week the amount of morphine would be still further reduced and so on. It xvas found that a permanent euro could us ually be effected in five or six weeks though some persons takl: g thirty grains daily were not pronminoecl cured under ten weeks. Every case was treated Indi vidually The symptom blank s<*nt out \ <?xU;->.i’ o and tbo inedfcMl df- j rector had as much information as if face tn fare with the patient.

It became a battle royal between the monos science and the dread foe of suf fering humanity, and sclorrce wxaa ytjtr.- rfous in ninety-five cases out. of everv one hundred. The results were astound ing, but the monos science were not I swept off their feet with enthusiasm over i the new discovery, as is often tho case i when remedies promising great results i first became known. . They waited the crucial tAst of time and ! saw men who had been the helpless and unhappy victims o’ the drug and whisky i ’ ■?! i's restored to health and strength. | They saw repose rake the place of fren zy. equilibrium take the place of confus -1 ion. strength take the. place of flabby I muscles and the glow of health mount | the cheeks and drix'e away the sallow j complexion of disease. 1 And then they gave it their indorse ! meat. I Eighteen F.undred cases have been c :r"d ; in the last year and a half. Almost Fres as Air. | Fortunately the treatment is compara * tiveix’ Inexpensive- astonishinglj' so—a.n.l > if a cure is not effected it costs nothing. ■ In tlie first place tho Hr. Lot tr Company 1 is composed of men of high scientific at tainments an*l undoubted standing. They I.are moved by the same impulse th.it is back of the medical world—the allevia tion of human suffering and they have ; placed the Dr. Long Remedy at the nominal cost of $lO with the understand ing that if it does not effect a cure the money will be refunded. Ab a matter of fact it is refunded in five cases out of every one hundred, ad mitted cures being effected in 950 cases out of every 1,000. ft seems that in placing the full treat ment at $lO and returning the money in case of failure the Dr. ijClig Company is going as far r.s human phllanthrophy could be expected to go, especially when it Is considered that the treatment is not sent at random, but every case has its own individual and particular prescrip tion and treatment. Another thing is true that tho Dr, Long Company is trank with its patients and hopes that cannot be realized are not held out. A point in ease is that of a lady in Augusta. She had suffered the agony of the rack from muscular rheumatism and had been In bed two years, a victim of the morphine habit. Her sister wrote the I>r. Long Company stating the facts fully and saying she doubted if the unfortunate woman *vuld be cured. Still she would I like to have the opinion of the Dr. Long 1 Company. | She was written that she was prob ' ably right, as the woman who was tak ing twenty grains a day had arrived at an age when a cure was almost impossi ble. The right treatment, however, might reduce the amount to one-third or one feurth t:he quantity taken. The lady wrote that she was Impressed , by this frankness, as she had writien to a dozen opium cures am] all had replied tliat if she would send the money along a cure could be effected In a few days. The remedy was forwarded as request ed ar i tho result was as the Dr. Long Company predicted. Tlie amount of mor | pliine taken has been reduced from twen j t'- grains a day to less than three grains . a day. This has been accomplished with in four weeks. I The course usually takes five weeks. but the $lO covers all the cost, whether the course covers a period of five weeks o’ fifty. A wealthy Atlantan who was recently cured, although he had reached the point where he took thirty grains a day was under treatment two montr.- He admitted h» was cured, but declined to give his benefactors a written state ment. “Confessions of an Opium Eater. The opium habit is usually born of pain Thomas De Quincey, who -wrote the "Con sessions of an English Opium Eater, xvai in fact addicted to the habit, which ht contracted while a student at Oxford and which his biographers tell us ho over came after a protracted struggle manj years later. De Quincey says: “I have often been asked how I firs' came to be a regular opium eater and have suffered very unjustly in the opin ion of my acquainr*ance from being repot* ied to have brought upon myself a j] th« j sufferings which I shall have to record, by : a long course of Indulgence in this prac tice, purely for the sake of creating an artificial state of pleasurable excitement, This, however, is a misrepresentation of my case. True it is that for nearly ten years I did occasionally take opium fol the sake of the exquisite pleasure it gave I me, but so long as I took it xvith this view . I was effectually protected from all mate rial bad consequences by the necessity of Interposing long intervals between th* several acts of indulgence in order to re new the pleasurable sensations. It was not for the purpose of creating pleasure but of mitigating pain in tho severest de gree that 1 first began to use opium as an article of daily diet. 1 "In the twenty-eighth year of my oga a painful affection of the stomach which I had first experienced about ten years before attacked me in great strength. This affection had orlglnallv been caused by extremities of hunger suf fered in my boyish days. During the sea son of hope and redundant happiness which succeeded (that is, from eighteen to twenty-four) it had slumbered; for the | three following years it had revived at In -1 tervals; and noxv, under faxmrable cir : cumstances, from depression of spirits It attacked me with a violence that yielded I to no remedies but opium.” De Quincey's story of his sufferings is ' known the world over and it is the story. ■ with variations, of millions of men and women who, reaching out for relief from 1 pain, have found a remedy worse than a > thousand deaths. After months of suffer | ing where It has been necessary to keep the patients under the influence of va i rious opiates or where persons in theli 1 Ignorance have taken morphine, it is I found that tho practice cannot be dis i continued. This is the beginning of th* I habit which grows day by day with ail ■ the dreadful consequences that folloxv in ' the course of time. The user of the drug | becomes a mental, moral and physical 1 wreck not hesitating to lie or steal in <yr : dor to obtain the drug without which 'file ! is unendurable agony. Work of Philanthropists. I Is not the man who holds out his hand 1 to these helpless sufferers a be:i"fac:."r ' deserving t v rank high in the gra’i' .ide of i the human race?

Th*: Dr. Lung Compa:*''s tr :i:m ‘ ' fn? the whisky habit is as effiiaeiot: - as "m treatment for opium, but it is a r ‘marl; able fact that there are nearly ten times as many opium patients as there are whisky patients. It is said that bad is the physiological consequences f the ex cessive use of alcohol are, tho menial and bodily effects produc'd by the indulgence tn opium far surpass them in nii.-ery, horror and degradation. The Dr. Long Remedy is purely vege table, leaves no bad effects, builds ' patient up from the start and leaves h*- nervous system in a strong and healthy condition. His will power is restored and he is then ready with a clear he id, bright eye and elastic step to renew the battle of life. The Dr. Long Company gives this guarantee: "Our t'atmont | does not contain an opiate in 'iny form. I We xvill forfeit $1,060 to be paid to any I charitable institution in tlie Uni: 1 States, or to any one who xx i ’ p> ve to I the contrary.” I The action of the treatment : purely reflex and consists of a ren wal of the man as he originally felt before using opiates. The patient takes absoffit'-H no risk.
