CRAVING FOR DRINK DESTROYED.

The best aid to temperance is some
thing that will strengthen the drunk
ards wrecked nervous system and cure
his unnatural craving for drink. We
believe that any man who really de-
sires to be cured of the liquor habit can
cure himself by using Orrine. This re-
markable discovery has made so many
cures among our customers that we are
glad to sell it under an absolute guar
antee to refund the money if it does not
cure.
1t is in two forms: No. l that can
be given secretly, and No. for those
who wish to be cured. 1t is not only
the most reliable treatment known, but
it is also the most economical, as it
costs only 81 a box, and there is no de-
tention from the usual duties, while, If
cure is not effected. there is no ex-
pense whatever. Mail orders filled.

A Massachusetts doctor says: Our

control that the proper selection OF food
should be, and is, one of the most i'm
portant acts in life.
ION this subject I may say that
know of no food equal in digestibi1ity,
and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment than the modern Grape Nuts.

fcient for the cereal part of a meal.
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
At am convinced that the extensive
and general high class foods of this
character would increase the term of
human life, add to the sum total of
happiness and very generally improve
society in general am free to mention
the food for I know of its value"
Nuts food can be used by babes
in arms or adults. 1t is ready cooked,
can be served instantly, either cold with
cream. or with hot water or hot milk
poured over. All sorts of buildings and
fancy dishes can be made with Grape
Nuts The food is concentrated and
very economical, for four heaping tea
spoons are sufficient for the cereal part
