Inc houston Narcotic Cure Company,
Oh Roanoke, does not need to 90 awsv
from It's own doors for testimonials OF Ia
wonderful work. When men who have
received its treatment and have been
absolutely and radically cured come
forward and volunteer statements even
the most bltndly skeptical are compelled
10 pause and examine their statements.
The TINES has been conductinc n,

bright and his skin as clear as possible.
His flesh is firm and solid, and his grip
strong and steady. The change in mis-
