THE APPLE CURE.
“For ten years,” said a physician,
“I have advocated apples as a cure
for drunkenness. In that time I
have tried the apple cure on some
forty or fifty drunkards, and my suc
cess has been most gratifying. Let
any man afflicted with the love of
drink eat three or more apples daily
and the horrible craving will gradual
ly leave him. The cure will be great
ly helped along if he smokes as lit- ,
tie as possible.” j
Card of Thanks.
We sincerely thank the friends
