THE POWER OF WILL
AXD DRUNKENNESS
Will Power Alone Will Not Stop the
Excessive Use of Liquor.
Tho temperance advocate and total ab
stalner are strong in their declaration
that drunkenness Is a mean, low and dls
graceful habit, from which any ordinary
person can free himself by the exercise
of his will power alone.
Medical men, by patient research, have
demonstrated that drunkenness is a pot
sonlng and that '.he drunkard Is one in
need of medical attention.
The disease of alcoholism can surely
be cured, thanks, to the Neal treatment,
which has ' demonstrated that It is an
Infallible remedy striking at once at the
roots of the trouble. There has always
been a demand for the treatment for
habitual drunkenness which can be ed
ministered Internally, without the use of
dangerous hypodermic Injections.
Experience haa taught that no Instl
tute extant other than the Neal Institute
in .maha, Neb., 1502 South Tenth St., has
ever been successful in treating drunk
enness in less than four weeks' time.
It makes no difference how long a man
has been drinking, how much or how lit
tie he drinks, or what he drinks, the
Mc.Neal treatment has never failed to
cure In three uays' time, and with
out the use. of that devilish littl
tormentor of the flesh, the hypoder
mlc syringe. Just bear in mind tha
there is no such thing as a "secret cure
for drunkenness, and vou are taking
great risk in administering these reme
dies.
The' Institute In this city has bee
taxed to Its full capacity during lecen
months and to take care of Its lncreastn
number of pstlents, a branch Neal Insti
tute has been jsiabllshed at Grand Is

There's Monev in Western
For Both Large and Small Investors
THIS has been proven to thousands in the last ten years, but the best part of tho West
ern situation remains to be told after all these years of untiring energy on the part
of the western people and the enormous growth made in such a comparatively short
time. People in the west are commencing to realize that there's room for many more
thousands of people in their vast domain of living waters, of golden soil, of mineral wealth
beyond comprehension, of forests which will bless mankind when all other lands are deso
late; and there isn't a single community that is not trying to tell the world some story that
seems almost unbelieveable.
We're not going to ask you to invest your money on the strength of our bold state
ment but we are going to show you some wonderful opportunities with evidence in the
form of fruits of the soil themselves.
The Western Land-Products Exhibit
To be Held in Omaha January 18 to 28 1911
will embrace exhibits from the important sections in the states of
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington
and California. These exhibits will consist of products of the soil,
samples of the soil itself, photographs and stereopticon views.
The men in charge are personally acquainted with every inch of
the soil they are talking about and they can advise you where to
find the kind of opportunities you are looking for whether it be
cheap land or improved land, factory sites or smaller business
r Penin&S
The Omaha Bee
and
The Twentieth Century Farmer
wish to convince people about the wonderful possibilities of the West and they ar backing up tha Western
Land-Products Exhibit because they realize that an exhibit of this kind will show people more of th real
truth about this wonderful section than any amount ot pure talk; and their, real Interest In the upbuilding of
this empire Is due to the fact that they realize that it Is upon the West that Omaha must depend for future
progress and greatness.
