CURSED.
For Sixteen Years Compelled to Eat Pound
 of Poison Weekly.
Almost Incredible Story of Suffering Told by Loulsianian.

It is wonderful what a human being will endure Just look around and 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 accounts. So man starts a habit but nature con tinues it, and, for punishment he can't quit. Take the case of George Rathban. For sixteen years he had to fill his sys- tenn with poison to keep from going in sane, and he would be still in the rack of torture had not No-To-Bac cured him Cured the habit of sixteen years in six teen days. Read his letter:
 Bonita. La.,, Aug. IS, 1895.
 Gentlemen: I have been completely cured of the tobacco habit by using No To-Bac. I have used tobacco over seven teen years. Four pounds a month is what 1 used for sixteen years of my life, and 1 believe that No-To-Bac will cure anyone that will take half box. I took six tablets one day. three the next, three the next and one the next day, and was completely cured. After that I 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 recommend Mo- To-Bac to all who are cursed with the tobacco habit and want to get rid of 1t. One box will cure the worst case 1 ever saw. Very truly yours,
 GEO. RATHBAN.
 Now. dear reader. tobacco user for little or long time, don't say "I can't be cured" No-To-Bac makes 1t so easy to quit, and will do you so much good for your nerves, blood and manhood. You don't have to take our word for 1t. Buy it from your own druggist under abso- lute guarantee of cure Get our booklet Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away" Written guarantee and free sample mailed for the asking.

During the performance of Tn Old Madrid" to be presented at O'Brien's op- era house this evening and tomorrow at matinee and evening, Mir. Francis Jones, in the character of Valentine Navarro is given lines by the author of this clever comedy that would do credit to "Coin' and might well, with a little revision. be fought in his "Financial School" The following are selected as examples tr~.He that has not wealth by patri- hmony should get it by matrimony."
 "rhere is nothing so good as money, and no money is so good as other peo- ple's."
 Money belongs not to the person who has it, but to the one who has wit enough to get it.
 Few who have money deserve it. Some indeed have made it; others have been born into 1t; number have blum dered into 1t; but the big majority got kicked into it."
 "The fascination of money is not in having 1t, but in making it. When one has it it is worthless except for the ex- citement of holding on to it and keeping the other fellow from getting it.'
