ONE box of ORTOA'S PREPARATION
" is warranted to destroy he appetite for
tobacco in any person, no matter how strong
the habit may be.
ssAs If it fails in any case the money will
be refunded--sEs 1t is almost impossible to
break off from the use of tobacco by the
mere exercise of the will. Something is
needed TO 49, nature in overcoming
habit go firmly rooted; with the help of the
Preparation there is not the least trouble.
Hundreds have used it who are willing TO
bear witness to the fact that Orton's Prepa-
ration completely destroys the appetite for
tobacco and leaves the person as free from
any desire for il as before he commenced its
use. 1t is perfectly safe and harmless in all
cases. The Preparation acts directly upon
the same glands and secretions affected by
tobacco and through these upon the blood,
thoroughly cleansing the poison of tobacco
from the system, and thus allaying the un-
natural craving for tobacco.

A Coon STORY is told about Democratic

A COOP STORY is told about Democratic
tavern keeper in Hooslck, who has two sal
lent points in his political creed-a devotion
to hard currency and hatred OF 'niegers.'
One OF the latter. and who has been an espec-
ial object OF his aversion, called upon him a
Gay or two since to get twenty-dOllar gold
piece changed into greenbacks. The pros
pect OF making speculation sottened the
tapster's hostility, and be became excessively
polite to the 'eoiored individual" The
change was made dollar tor dollar without
any allowance tor the greater value of gold,
the dusky gentleman being supposed to be
ignorant OF the Tact. Soon alter the tavern
keeper boosted to a neighbor Republican
how he had 'come it over that darkey.-
The Republican inspected the piece OF
coin, and ascertained that it was counterfeit!
The tavern keeper became livid with chaglin
and shame, and quickly started off to catch
the fellow who had thus "come it over him.
but he had stepped beyond the reach of
