Samaritan Treatment for ALCOHOLISM
Samaritan treats EXCESSIVE DRINKING as a disease. Each patient is treated in confidence by a staff of ethical physicians and registered nurses in approximately two days' time. This is followed by thorough supportive treatment that rebuilds the body in all cases yet does not interfere with one's daily routine.
Excessive Drinking endangers your Health, Position and Self-Respect. Samaritan treatment eliminates all desire and craving for alcoholic beverages. Call in person; write or phone for booklet A, which explains in detail the Samaritan method.
