my nerves are becoming SO irritated that |
can't stand the least annoyance" What
is the result? These good resolutions are
generally made while the effect of the use
of tobacco practically paralyzes the crav-
ings of millions of irritated nerve centers
to pass away these good resolutions
weaken, showing conclusively that the
use of tobacco is not habit but disease
of the nervous system caused BY the edu-
cation of the nerves to crave for the nico-
tine poisoning. What then is the easy,
permanent, natural way to relieve your
self of the use of tobacco? Certainly not
by discontinuing it and suffering the
nervous reaction and prostrating effects
and mental degeneracy sure to follow the
long and continued use of tobacco. Does
it not suggest itself to you that the natural
thing to do is to take a remedy that is
specifically prepared to eradicate the ef-
fects of the nicotine in the system and to
overcome the nerve craving effects and re-
store the tobacco irrit ated nerves to nor
NAL and healthy condition. To this, we
all say, Eyes, where is the remedy?" You
will find it in No-To-Bac. This is easily
said and we all naturally ask for proof.
Certainly. If No-To-Bac fails to cure,

CONSUMPTION CURED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALI
PULMONARY COMPLAINTS.
T. a. Slocum Offers to Send Two Bot
ties Free of His Remedy to ure
Consumption and All Lung Troubles
An Elixir of Life.

Nothing could be fairer, more phi'an
the offer of 7. A. Slocum, M. c., OF 1S3
Pearl street. New York. Perfectly conf
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure OF consumption and all pulmon-
a1y complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles free to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of flesh and all condi-
tions of wasting. He invites those desir-
GUS of obtaining this remedy to send their
express and postoffice address, and to re-
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach OF death. Already
this remedy, by its timely use, has per-
manently cured thousands of cases which
were given up, and death was looked upon
as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be-
ing SO proofpositive of it's benefcent re-
sn1ts, DIR. Slooum considers it his religious
DUTY, q duty which he owes to humanity,
to donate his infallible remedy where it
will assault the enemy in its citadel, and,
of dissolution, bringing joy to homes over
which the shadow OF the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of the remedy-offered freely-apart
from its inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more SO is the perfect
confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
cured"
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration OF the afflicted, who, for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salubrious climes, where the atmos-
phere is more congenial to weakened lungs,
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in their
hands. There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles-the mistake will
be in passing the invitation by.
