Tobacco Habit
Dangerous

says DR.. Conner, formerly of Johns
Hopkins hospital. Thousands of men
suffering from fatal diseases would
be in perfect health today were it not
for the deadly drug Nicotine. Stop
the habit now before its too late. It's
a simple process to rid yourself of the
tobacco habit in any form. Just go to
any up-to-date drug store and get
some Nicotol Tablets; take them. as
directed and 10. the pernicious habit
quickly vanishes. Druggists refund
the money If they fail. Be sure to
read large and interesting announce
ment by Doctor Conner soon 10 ap-
pear in this paper. It tells Of the
danger of nicotine poisoning and how
to avoid it. In the meantime try Mic
otol tablets; you will be surprised at
the result.
