That's What's the Matter with Millions
of Americas Men.
EASY AND PERMANENT RELIEF TO BE
FOUND IN NO-PO-BAC.
A Constitution Reporter Interviews the Man
Who Makes No-To-Bac-SOme GeOr-
gians Who Have Been Cured by
This Wonderful Remedy.


faced gentleman addressed. Tho interlocutor
was Constitution reporter. He who was adj
dressed seemed to be about thirty-five years of
age. His strong, practical face would attract
the attention of any one at once. When it is
known that he is the man who stands at the
helm of great business. one that has in
practical and business-lke way done q great
work for suffering humanity. a second look will
be sure to follow the first.
On Randolph street, Chicago, stands a tall,
gray building near the lake. In third floor
office of this building sat Mr.. Kramer at his
roll-top desk when the reporter approached
him.
"YOn are the man who makes No-To-Bac
Yes, sir" answered the gentleman at the
desk.
''I want to talk to you about No-To- Bac"
persevered the SCRIBE "Are you at leisure?"
No, I'm always busy. but 1 can usually
find time to talk about No-To- Bac," said Mr..
Kramer, wheeling his cheer round. What
would you like to know?"
Well, our people in Georgia are interested
and want to assure themselves that No-To-B BAG
is really tho cure that will cure. They have
used sO-called remedies and derived no benefit
Georgia people are nervous. high-strung class
and many of Us down that way are victims to
the excessive use of tobacco What we want is
a real cure"
Now see here" exclaimed Mr. Kramer.
" If three boxes of NoTo- BAG fail to cure the
worst case of tobacco using we will return the
cost. That makes long story very short, aud,
of course, proves that we have faith in No-To-
BAG, aud are willing for il to stand on its
merits. And yon can decide for yourself what
that guarantee is worth when | tell you that
the president OF our company is Mr. A. L.
Thomas, of the Lord & Thomas advertising
brm. perhaps the largest company Of the sort
on earth, and am the general manager of the
Sterling Remedy Co., makers of No-To-Bac.
am also general manager and treasurer OF the
Indiana Mineral Springs Co., Warren County,
Indiana where is located the great magnetic
mineralmud bath cure .or rheumatism. That
company has capital of S2500o0. The MEM
bers OF our company are, collectively, good for
half million at the very lowest calculation.
"But there's no comfort to the tobacco user
in knowing that. should he happen to he in
eurable he would get his paltry dollars back.
He wants to be cured and No-To-Bac will cure
him. 1t has cured more than 100000 persons
to our positive knowledge and we have the
records in our office. 1t is only fair to assume
that it has cured tens of thousands of other
cases, else claims would have been made for
the cost. A drug firm in Oakland, CAL, Kirk
land & Trowbridge. sold 5000 boxes of No-To-
Bae last year without a single claim being
made of failure to cure. But it will fail some
times. Man cannot make an infallibIe remedy.
Still, the victim OF tobacco rest assured that
he has 500 chances of being cured in 1000
by usiug No To- Bae."
That's good showing. Have you cured
any people down our way, Dir. Kramer?"
Let'ssee. have tens of thousands of testi-
monias, all indezed."
The speaker took big volume from the top
of his desk and ran rapidly through its leaves
until he reached the space devoted to Georgia
After a moments examination he went into
an inner room and returned with several yell
low envelopes.
Here q few taken at random" said be.
" We'll see what they say" Opening the first
he glanced through it and handed il to the re-
porter. 1t was as follows:
Mercer University, Macon. Ga.-The Ster-
ling Remedy Co., Gentlemen: In regard to No
To Bac will say that believe it will cure any
person of chewing, smoking using snuff. I
used tobacco ten years and one box of your No.
To- Bac cured me. l have gained nine pounds
in fifteen days and feel better.
ELIAS HODGES"
"Thats good one, said the reporter"
But we get many letters from men who
have become so broken and wasted by nicotine
poisoning to be almost beyond hope. Do
you know where Banah ISL"
Yes, near Forsyth"
"Well just read this one from Bamah."
The letter began:
"Sterling Remedy Co., Gentlemen:-I have
been tobacco user forty years and was indeed
a great slave TO it. | used a plug of tobacco
day. / had tried to quit chewing. but could
not. One box of No-ro-Bae made permanent
cure of the tobacco habit. / have not chewed
any tobacco in nearly three months have not
wanted to use it at all. / wish / could get
every one that chews or uses tobacco in any way
TO try NO-To Back. i was very thin, had no

box and it cured him of the tobacco habit of
thirty years standing. He is we'll pleased.
Yours truly,
"THOMAS W. RANKIN"
"Now, here" said MI Kramer, is a testi-
monial from man who bought No-To- BAG in
1885, before we began to advertise it. His testi-
mony shows conclusvely that No. To Bae will
stand the test of time. Just read it," and a
sheet of note paper was passed to the reporter:

The Constitution man opened the sheet of
stiff linen paper extended to him and read the
following settlement:
