CRAVING FOR DRINK DESTROYED

The best aid to temperance Is something that will strengthen the drunkards wrecked nervous system and cure his unnatural craving for drink. We believe that any man who really desires to be cured of the liquor habit can cure himself by using Or rine. This remarkable discovery has made so many cures among our GUS toners that We are glad to sell it under an absolute guarantee to re- fund the money if it does not cure
 It is in two forms; No that can he given secretly, and No for those who wish to be cured. It is not only the most reliable treatment known. but it is also the most economical as il costs only $1 DO a box and there IS no detention from the usual duties. while if a cure is not effected. there is no expense whatever.
