Dr. McKanna fust recently Established a Sanitarium at Phoenix. ' Read it-care- fully. Have you ever heard of anything like this before? . . 1 s 1 "r - ft - A Acosta Pardoined by Cw. CCoWsv CURED OF THE LIQUOR HABIT, OTHER BLESSINGS FOLLOW AT ONOE, AUONG THEM FREEDOM FROM THE BASTItiE. Qovemor Kibbey yesterday issued a pardon td Ramon Acosta, an inmate of tfc? county jail. The circumstances are somewhat unique in -several features. Acosta is a shoemaker and for years has been con ducting a little shop in this city, when he was sober enough to attend to business. But the liquor habit grew on him and he was repeatedly arrested and .fined or jailed in the city and justice courts. The end of it was that Justice Burnett, on the 15th of October,, sentenced hi mto twenty days in the county jail and 'he was committed. Saturday there arrived here Dr. McKanna, a physician from Oklahoma City, Okla., who has a treatment for the cure of drunkenness in three days. Dr. McKanna left last night for San Francisco. During his stay here a couple of Phoenix gentlemen who knew of his work uv the East,, persuaded! him to treat a few cases just for object lessons in demonstration of the merits of his cure. One of the cases was Acosta, whose salvation it was believed would be verging up close to the miraculous. Yesterday the doctor reported to Justice Burnett that he had cured the patient and he believed Acosta could be given his liberty with perfect safety to the community and that the act would.be, appreciated by -Acosta, who had agreed to make a man of himself if given another chance., ; '(K'-iy:- The doctor announced also that the Governor had said he would grant 'a pardon if it was recommended by the court. Justice Burnett thereupon made the recommendation and armed with' it, Dry McKanna jriade application to the Governor and the pardon was immediately granted, Acosta being given his liberty last- . night. . ' , '.. Though Dr. McKanna is the man who furnished salvation for Acosta, Mayor 'Coggins is ..entitled to credit as the forerunner in the wilderness. He had heard about the doctor and knew of a number of men who had been cured by him. Ho had great. faith in the doctor, but faith without woiks is dead. Mr. Cog gins is always interested in the great moral uplift and whatever will, in his opinion, benefit manknd gen erally, lie is ready to give his moral support. He had great curiosity to see a severe test made and in puzzling his brain for the right kind of a subject, he thought of Aoosta and took the doctor to see hira. After the cure the doctor expressed regret that the man' whose chief crime was intoxi jition, would have to remain in jail, even after fhe cause of his trouble had been removed. He was told Jthat the pardoning nower of the Governor was the only thing that would get him out. Acosta, free from .whiskey, was an- , parently a man of more than ordinary intelligence and deserving of help, so the doctor exerted himself in his patient's behalf as related above. . , . ; - V - i " FROM THE ENTERPRISE AT PHOENIX, ARIZONA, OCTOBER 24 1 (Acosta Pardoned). V v . ' (iovenior JCibbey yesterday issued a pardon to Roman Acosta, an inmate of the bounty jail. The condition of his pardon was that he take the McKanna Liquor Cure to enable him to live a sober life. To comply with this request, Acosta took the liquor treatment from Dr. McKanna and is now a cured man..- Anyone reading, the above articles, given publicity by the most prominent papers-;, of- Arizona, : re. . garding the action of the highest official of the State, surely can have no more oubt as to the merits of " the McKanna 3-Day Liquor Cure.
