Cured Daily in Spite of
Themselves.
No NOXiOIs Doses. A Pleasant
and Positive Cure for the
Liquor Habit,

1t is now generally known and

"Home Gold Cure" which has
been perfected after many years
of close study and treatment of
inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this
wonderful discovery is positively
guaranteed to cure the most
obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records
shows the marvellous transfor-
nation of thousands Of Drunk
ards into sober, industrious and
upright men.
Wives cure your husbands!
Children cure your fathers! This
remedy is in no sense a nostrum
but is a specific for this disease
only, and is so skillfully devised
and prepared that it is thorough
ly solubly and pleasant to the
taste, so that it can be given in
a cup of tea or coffee without the
knowledge of the person taking
it. Thousands of Drunkards
have cured themselves with this
priceless remedy, and so many
more have been cured and made
temperate men by having the
cure" administered by loving
friends and relatives without
their knowledge in coffee or tea,
and believe today that they dis

free will. Do not wait. Do not
