A Chicago Specialist Says Tint m
Sure Cure For "My Lady Nicotineu
Can BE Found In the Plentiful Use
OF the Humble Peanut.
However fantastic my particular
method Of dealing with the tobacco hab-
1t may seem on paper it will effect a
cure if faithfully carried out. In the
first place, be sure that your patient
really desires to break Off the habit of
using tobacco. In the second place, re-
member that your patient will react ac-
cording TO the impression your manner
makes upon his mind. IL you speak
lightly of your method of treating him.
he will hold that method in small es-
TEEN. Therefore, speak impressively.

Suggestion alone is not sufficient to
hold the average tobacco user, ana you
will therefore add material medicine
in the shape of-peanutsl Yes, my
friend, ludicrous us the idea seems. there
lies in the vulgar peanut charm to sap
the power of my Lady Nicotine" and
free the fettered slave
In all drug habits there are two con-
ditions to combat-physical and men,
tai, or physiological and psychological.
l use peanuts TO offset the physical cray
ing and suggestion to calm the mind.
What is the condition of the user of
tobacco if the weed is withdrawn? 1t is
important to understand this, because
there is but a slight variation in one
dozen cases from the average.
The condition is one of mental nm
rest, some physical sensations and nerv-
BUSINESS. The withdrawal of tobacco
acts as withdrawal of a powerful
nerve tonic, because this weed, used
first as a nerve sedative, becomes by
| force OF usage a nerve stimulant. Let
US take the mental condition first under
consideration. do not try to put a to-
bacco user to sleep, because it is an un-
necessary performance, but give him
positive suggestions while he is sitting
opposite me to the following effect:
That it will be easy to break him of
the habit.
That he will not suffer, despite the
fact that he has tried to break off pre-
viously, but has failed ON account of
the discomfort ensuing.
That he is not hero or a being to be
pitied or sympathized with, because he
will not be called upon to display any
heroic qualities of endurance.
That If he follows directions he will
not suffer from nervousness or "sink-
ings" at the pit of the stomach.
! That he will begin at once to gain in
weight; that his memory will be sharp
er and more tenacious, and that his di.
gestive organs will regain tone; that
his nerves will be as steel, his muscles
as iron and his complexion will lose the
muddy hue which mars its comeliness
That the habit is uncleanly-in fact
degrading-and that its qualification
entails gross waste of money. What
right has he to literally burn his income
when his wife is compelled 60 wear a
gown that is out of date?
Thus, then, do l prepare the patients
mind for the lightness of the task be-
fore him, laying special stress upon the
fact that he will at no time consider
himself an object of compassion or self
pity, for if he believe himself to be per
forming deed of no small heroism he
will suffer agonies, whereas if his abne-
CATION is ignored and taken as a matter
of course he will react accordingly.
Now, as to the physical symptoms
they will be but slight if the above

! done and will show themselves in occa-
sional pains about the region of the
heart, sinking at the pit of the stomach,
lassitude, weak and accelerated pulse
