SECOND. II is administered internally.

THIRD. II requires only three days 10

FOURTH In all the many thousands
OF cures effected by the NEAL THREE
DAY LIQUOR TREATMENT not one
case OF bad after-effects can be traced
to IL.
Now these four good reasons should be
conclusive 10 anyone whose condition de-
mands release from the slavery OF the
