Would You Like
To Stop Smoking
For a While?

To think of giving up smoking is
unpleasant to most people-even to
those who know that too much to-
bacco injuries them - and to really
quit takes more determination than
many have. They fear the craving
will be greater than they can vol
unfairly endure. You can make it
easy to qufr~ the habit by getting
NicotoI tablets and taking them as
directed. The habit really quits you
and its departure is a pleasure equal
TO your former indulgence.
If you want to know how much
easier il IS to quit the habit with
tho aid of Nicotol than without it,
go twenty-four hours without to-
bacco and note what an effort it
costs you. Then begin using tobac-
CO as usual and take NicotOl tab
let's. At the end of a week stop
smoking or chewing for a day and
it is probable you will have no de-
sire to resume. At least your de-
sire will be greatly diminished and
another week or two should make
It not only possible, but a pleasure,
to quit.
NicotoI is sold by druggists gem
orally on a positive money back
guarantee if it fails to do all that
is claimed. 1t is sold and guaran-
ted in this city by many good drug
lists. especial by Peoples Drug
