Nebraska advertiser., 1869-04-15

ED. Nebrdskidh, DEAR SIR:-I have
been solicited by quite a number OF
friends, some of whom are readers OF
your paper, to give my experience in
the use of "AbbOt's AntidOten for To-
bacco, it being known to the commu-
nifty, to some extent, that I had quit
tobacco, entirely, and was using the
Antidote. Now / will state first that
L am an old sinner in this business,
having used the filthy stuff for nearly
forty years.
I was put to it by a man who called
himself a Physician, for a species of
indigestion, or dyspepsia, growing out
of a deficiency in the hillary secretion
of the liver, and want of tone in the
digestive organs. 1t took me a whole
year to learn to chew it, but I perse-
vered and finally was rewarded1?) by
acquiring an appetite for it that has
baffied my best efforts to get rid of I'M
til now. | will say, also, that I have
made, at different times, attempts to
quit it but always failed the last, un-
til now, was in 1866, when I laid it by
for six weeks, at the end of which
time, / had almost irregular delirium
tremens.
was so determined on quitting it,
that I suffered myself to get down
benfast before I would give it up, and
then [ resumed its use, more at the
urgent solicitation of friends than of
my own choice. For the past year
1 have seen in the papers an advertise
ment of an antidote; I concluded I
would try it, sent for it, and used it,
commencing on the first day of Janu-
airy last, and have continued faithful
until the present time. And / can
say now of truth, that my nerves are
steadier than they have been for the
pasttwenty years, my appetite for food
is good, my digestion is better than it
has ever been since / have lived in
this cOuntry-I have gained full TWEEN
ty pounds in weight, and on the whole
[ would not go back to the use of To-
baecO again, tand know nothing of
this antidOte,) for one thousand dol
lars. Thank God I am emaneipated
free from one of the most filthy, dis
gushing, uncalled for and useless hab-
its that man ever INDUCED in, and if
any one, after reading this letter, is
induced thereby to abandon the filthy
vice I will be amply repaid for PEN
ming it.
But the most important part of this
communication is yet to be made, the
question is, does this antidOte destroy
the appetite for tobacco? I emphati-
caily answer, THAT accordin to my X
perienceD NO. I craved it for two
months, as much as I did for the first
week, and / still crave it, now going
on four months since / quit it. The.
only good the antidOte does is to let
down the nervous system and this is
beyond computation. It SCM do 1T
surely, gently and effectually; follow
the directions and you are as certain
to succeed as you try you may make
up your mind to suffer, but if you hold
out faithful you will be fully reward
cd. And now in order that my
friends, and any who may wish to
embark in this great reform, may not
be imposed on, / wish to make it pub
lie what this great Antidote is, ii is
nothing more, nor less, than cOarsely
powdered GentidH Root. There is a
small sprinkling of camomile flowers
put in, merely for q blind, but they do
not amount to anything. This Gen
tian Root can be bought at the Drug
Store from 40 to go cents per pound,
and il you send to the proprietOrs of
this antidote, or buy it of their agents,
you pay fifty cents for less than an
ounce. This is an imposition that 1
am not willing my friends should
bear, thereon 1 publish this if any
person is not disposed to believe this
statement they have only to procure a
box of the genuine, and use it for one
day, then take the Gentian and use it
for one day, and if they r not con-
WINGED / will not contend with them.
YOurs for progress, and reform,
Dr.. r. PERRY,
