THE c1ncaoNA RuBRA CURE.
A Sufferer Gives His Testimony and states
his Experience.

Is not necessary mere to dwell upon. In
question that interests drinkers is not how
came about that they are slaves to an appe
tite which they detest, and the indulgence 0
which is certain to bring physical suffering
! financial ruin, moral degradation and socia
ostracism in the end, but whether Their
is remedy that will aid their weak
ened will power to cope with an ap
| petite which 10 already strong and still IN
creasing. To this inquiry, from what Is t.
me irrefutable eyidence-that of persona
/ experience can say there is such remedy
| Cinchona rubra, if properly prepared ant
faithfully taken, will allay or remove en-
tirely all craving for Intoxicating beverages
But it must be borne in mind that the rem
edy is one which will be liable to mucf
abuse, as it becomes more generally known
Those who can, or say they can, drink or lei
it alone just as they please, have no neec
of remedy to destroy the desire for liquor
and should they use this preparation merely
to help them temporarily throw Off the eff
fects of too frequent libations, they would il
all probability on the first invitation Of 6
friend to take something, quietly walk W
to the bar and denominate their poison,
not because they particularly wanted a drink,
but because they desired TO appear soclable ano
because they fear it would be looked upon by
their companions as an evidence of weakness
sort of moral mildew-should they say de-
cidedly No; have no desire to drink,
have quit But to him who has struggled
determinedly to master his proneness for the
use Of intoxicants, and who realizes that UNI
less he receives some aid his will will as GER
tain give way before temptation, as that
constant dropping will wear away stone,
cinchona rubra is a veritable balm OF
Gilead.' For some time l had struggled to
overcome an appetite which l had too long
INDUCED under the hallucination That could
drink or let it alone at will.
When l found that my appetite
was gaining the mastery Of me
sought medical aid. but the only
assistance rendered me was to restore my
nervous system, and the craving for stimu-
lants remained or quickly returned. Some
thing over year ago l had a
druggist of this city prepare the cinchona
rubra cure for me from DR.. D'Ungers
prescription, and l found it very quickly
eradicated the effects of interpretations, re-
moved the desire for strong drink, and left
me completely master of myself in this re-
gard. 1t did not create any repugnance to
the taste of liquor, but simply left me indif-
ferent to it. Periods of excitement, strong
emotions, or long and laborious exertions had,
prior to taking this remedy, brought upon
me strong inclination to wepS my way
to the nearest saloon, but since tax
ing the preparation | have passed through
such trials without struggle, and with no
more desire for strong drink than man who

me, with the assurance that have no further
interest in this matter than a desire to benefit
suffering humanity"
