The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system is seriously affected, impair¬ ing health, comfort and happiness. To quit suddenly Is too severe a shock to the system, as tobacco to an inveterate user beoomeB a stimulant that his system continually craves. "Baoo-Curo” is a scientific cure for the tobac co habit In all its forms, carefully compound¬ ed after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his private prac¬ tice since 1872 without a failure. It is purely vegetable and guaranteed perfectly harmless You can use all the tobacco you want while taking "Baco-Curo.” It will notify you when to stop. We give a written guarantee to cure permanently any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent inter¬ est. “Baco-Curo’’ is not a substitute but a scientific cure, that cures without the aid of will power and with no inconvenience. It leaves the system as pure and free from nic¬ otine as the day you took your first cnew or smoke. Cured by Baco-Curo and Gained Thirty Pounds. From hundreds of testimonials, the origi nals of which are on file and open to inspec¬ tion, the following is presented: Clayton, Nevada Co . Ark., Jan. 38, 1896. Eureka Chemical A Mfg. Co., La Crosse, Wis.—Gentlemen: For forty years I used tobacco in a>l its forms. For twenty-five years of that time I was a great sufferer from general debility and heart disease For fif¬ teen years 1 tried to quit, but couldn’t. I took various remedies, among others “No-To-Bac” “The Indian Tobacco Antidote," "Double Chloride of Gold,” etc., etc-,but none of them did me the least bit of good. Finally, how¬ ever, I purchased a box of your "Baoo-Curo" and it has entirely cured me of the habit in all its forms, and I have increased thirty pounds the in weight and am relieved from all numerous aches and pains of body and mind I could write a quire of paper upon my changed feelings and condition.

So that in 145 min¬ utes the trees had become news¬ papers. The age of miracles is not past.—Westminister Gazette. CURE FOR HEADACHE.

Lee’s Drug Store. Rev. Dr. Talmage, who has been on a visit to the south, says he finds the free silver sentiment in this section to be very strong. Contrary to the notions of some of his northern friends, it does not threaten the ruin of the govern¬ ment. Whichever side wins,” says Dr. Talmage, the country will be all right; the question will oe settled one way or the other, and confidence and prosperity will be restored.” Dr/ Talmage i is a very hopeful man.

I have berries, grapes and peaches, a year old, fresh as when picked.

Last week 1 sold di¬ rections to over 120 families; any one will pay a dollar for directions when they see the beautiful samples of fruit. As there are ma¬ ny people poor like myself, I consider it ray dutj to give my experience to such, and feel confident anyone can make one or two hun¬ dred dollars round home in a few days. I will mail sample ot fruit and complete direc¬ tions, to any of your readers, for eighteen two-eent stamps, which is only the aotual cost of the samples, postage, etc., to me.
