"Want to Quit Smoking?'
Try BANTRONw
Amazing New Formula Helps Break Smoking.
Habit in Days Easily and Pleasantly
Says Monny PoulI

In a series of dramatic tests scientists
proved that in 500 "a out of 81 of
the cases, Bantron helped men and
women to stop smoking in s days.
And here is the wonderful thing.
Bantron is easy and pleasant to take.
1t has no unpleasant after-effects and
is not habit forming. ,
Bantron was discovered in the re-
search laboratories of a great
American university. 1t comes in
tablet form. You just take l tablet
with water after each meal.
This new scientific formula does not
work by making you dislike smok-
ing. 1t does not interfere with your
taste for smoking, or for anything
else. Smoking establishes a craving
in your body-Bantron helps relieve
that craving. Because Of this. many
people use Bantron to help them est
down smoking.
We Guarantee Results
Purchase one box of Bantron and
take as directed. If you feel Bantron
has not helped you stop or cut down
smoking within 5 days, just send us
the empty box and we will refund
your full purchase price.
Bantron is recommended to the
thousands of men and women who
can benefit from stopping or cutting
down smoking. II your doctor
advises you to stop smoking, try
Bantron.
