Physical Perfection Prevented by ths US3 0I loDacco. An Old.iimer Cured After Using Tobacco Twenty Three Years. He Gains Twenty Pounds in Thirty Days. Lake Geneva, Wl. Special.) The ladies ot our beautiful little town are making It Interesting for tobacco-using husbands, since the injurious effect of tobacco and the ease with which it can be cured by No-To-Bac have been plainly demonstrated by the cure of Mr. F. C. Walte. In a written state ment he says: "I smoked and chewed tobacco for twenty-three years, and my case wa one of the worst in this part of the country. Even after I went to bed at night, I woke up to chew or smoke. It was killing me and my wife was also ailing from the Inju rious ell ects. Two boxes of No-To-Bac cured me, and I have no more desire for tobacco than I have to Jump out of the window. I have gained twenty pounds In thirty days, my wife Is well, and we are Indeed both happy to say that No-To-Bac la truly 'worth Its weight In gold,' " Mr. Waite's cure is looked upon as a miracle. It Is the talk of the' town and county, and over a thousand tobacco users will use No-To-Bac. The pecu liarity about No-To-Bac Is that the makers authorise every druggist In America to absolutely guarantee three boxes to cure or refund the money, and the cost Is so trilling, compared with the expensive use ot tobacco, that tobacco-using husbands have no excuse to offer when their wives Insist upon their taking No-To-Bac, gaining pure, sweet breath, new mental and physical powers and a practical revltallzn tlon of their nlcotined nerves. No-To-Bac not only cures the tobacco habit but re stores vitality and nerve vigor. It Is Indeed a miracle worker for weak men. Get our booklet, "Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away."
