HOW TO CURE YOURSELF WHILE USING IT. The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system Is seriously af fected, Impairing health, comfort and happiness. To quit suddenly is too se vere a shock to the system, as tobacco to an inveterate user becomes a stimu lant that his system continually craves. "Baco-Curo" is a scientific cure for the tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully compounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who. has used it in his private practice since 1&72, with out a failure. It is purely vegetab! and guaranteed perfectly harmless. You can use all tbe tobacco you want while taking "Baco-Curo." It will notify you when to stop. We give a written guar antee to cure permanently any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent, interest. "Baco-Curo" is not a substitute, but a scientific cure, that cures without the aid ot will pow er and with no inconvenience. It leaves the system as pure and free from nicotine as the day you took your first chew or smoke. Cured by baco-curo and gained thir ty pounds. From hundreds ot testimonials, the originals of wnich arson file and open to inspection, the following is presented : Clayton, Nevada Co., Ark., Jan. 28, 1895. Eureka Chemical & Mfg., Co., La Cross, Wis. Gentlemen : For forty years I used tobacco in all its forms. For twen ty five years of that time I was a great sufferer from general debility and heart disease. For fifteen vears I tried to quit, but couldn't. I took various rem edies, among other "No-To-Bac," "The Indian Tobacco Antidote," "Double Chloride of Gold," etc., etc., but none of them- did me the least bit ot good. Finally, however I purchased a box of your "Baco-Curo" and it has entirely cured me of the habit in all its forms and I have increased thirty pounds in weight and am relieved from all the numerous aches and pains of body and mind. I could write a quire of paper upon my changed feelings and condi tion. Yours respectfully, P. H. Marbury. Pastor C. P. Church, Clayton, Ark.
