would not be inapt at this juncture
especially as he alights on the drug
habit with both feet;
mo other country is so addicted
to the drug habit as the United states,
and the pharmacists are going to re.

can is to take something; he caters
to every little i'll; he reads in the
newspapers OF some patented article
that is a remedy for all human Ills,

make him feel better that de does not
need it. If he eats less breakfast and
takes a cold bath he will soon get
over those vague troubles that make
him think he wants a tonic"

Now that the II. Y. officials see tn
