GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO C HEWERS.
Dr. Gustav Laniard's Taste Restorative Troclu.s.
the Great Substitute for Toliaero. It is a well
known and incoutrovertable fact that the use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as cureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it containscertain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocta,
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude.
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash. Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
"Taste Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of the Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To
bacco; and by giving a healthy tone to the btom
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacoo
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of 50
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all orders should be addressed.
