story of Suffering Told
by q Louisianian.

It is wonderful what a human being
will endure. Just look around ana see
the people day after day toying with life
and health, the most precious things we
have as if they were the commonest OF
all earth's good things.
Nature will not be imposed upon. She
is bound to get even-to square ac-
counts. So man starts habit, but ma
ture continues it, and for punishment,
he can't Quit. Take the case of George
Rathban. For sixteen years he had to
fill his system with poison to keep from
going insane, and he would be stillinthe
rack of torture had not NoTo-B -Bac
cured him-cured the habit of sixteen
years in sixteen days. Read his letter:
Bonita Na-), Aug. 1S, 1895.
Gentlemen: 1 have been completely
cured of the tobacco habit by using No
To-Bac. have used tobacco over sew
enteen years. -Four pounds month is
what I used for sixteen years of my
life, and I believe that No-To-Bac will
cure anyone that will take half box. l
took six tablets one day, three the next,
three the next, and one the next day,
and 1 was completely cured. After that
/ had to take eight more tablets to cure
me of nervousness. Twenty-one tablets,
you see, made final cure, and all in
sixteen days. I can very highly recon-
mend No-To-Bac to all who are cursed
with the tobacco habit and want to get
rid of it, One box will cure the worst
case 1 ever saw. Very truly yours,
GEO. RATHBAN.
Now, dear reader, tcbacco-user for a
Ettla or a lone time don't saw ''I can't
be cured No-To -Bac makes it so
easy to quit, and will do you so much
good for your nerves, blood and man
hood. You don't have to take our word
forit Buy it from your own druggist un-
der absolute guarantee of cure. Get our
