SAVED FROM NICOTINE

Little Charley Fogleman Used Tobacco Since Babyhood, and Hia Father Smoked and Chewed for the Fast Twenty Years—Both Set Free at Asheville, N. C. “Is that true?” asked the News man at Pelham’s Pharmacy, as he laid down a letter in the presence of a dozen interested customers. “Yes, it is. It was written here on one of our letter heads, and signed by J. C. Fogleman,” promptly answered the proprietor. “You know him, don’t you?” “Certainly; he lives at No. 5 Buxton street. We all know Fogleman is a man of his word.” “I am glad to hear it. There are so many misleading statements published ’ nowadays that when this came in this morning’s mAil I came right over to ask you about it. I read the letter throe times, but you read it, and you will agree with me that it is almost too good to be true.” This is what the letter said: “Office of Pelham’s Pharmacy, 24 Patton avenue, Asheville, N. C., Sept. 12, 1894. Gentlemen—My little boy, now 8 years, began chewing tobacco when three years old by the advice of our family physician, in the place of stronger stimulants. Four or five weeks ago I began giving him No-To-Bac, which I bought at Pelham’s Pharmacy, and to my great surprise, and, it is needless to say, my delight. No-To-Bac completely cured him. He does not seem to care for tobacco and is very much improved in health, eats heartily and has a much better color. “Finding such remarkable results from the use of No-To-Bac I began myself, and it cured me. after using tobacco, in all its various forms, for a period of twenty years. “I take pleasure in making this plain statement of facts for the benefit of others. (Signed) J. C. FOGLEMAN.” “Yes, I know it’s a fact, and its one of the strongest, truthful testimonials I ever read —and it’s true, for I sold him the No-To-Bac.” “What’s that?” asked Chief of Police Hawkins, whose manly form attired in the new police uniform, like Solomon in all his glory, came to the door. “Why, No-To-Bac cures'.” “Cures? Why, I should say so. I have used it myself. It cured me.” “Would you object to making a statement of the fact for publication?” “Certainly not,” and the Chief wrote as follows: “Asheville, N. C.. Sept. 25, 1894. Pelham Pharmacy—l bought one box of No-To-Bac from you some time since. After using No-To-Bac I found I had lost the desire for tobacco. I was cured. “I have used tobacco—chiefly chewing —for eight (8) or ten (10) years. “H. S. HAWKINS.” Everybody looked astonished and wondered what would next turn up. “Suppose it don’t cure?” some one asked. “Then they do the right thing when No-To-Bac won’t cure.” “What’s that?” asked the News man. “Every druggist in America is authorized to sell No-To-Bac under an absolute guarantee to cure or money refunded. No-To-Bac is made by the Sterling Remedy Co., general offices in Chicago, Montreal and New York, and their laboratory is at Indiana Mineral Springs, Indiana, a big health resort they own, it’s the place where they give Mud Baths for rheumatism and skin diseases. You ought to know the president, Mr. A. L. Thomas, of Lord & Thomas, of Chicago.” “Yes, of course I do. We get business from them right along, and they are as good as gold. Well, give me their advertising books, and I will make a statement in the paper about what you have told me. for I know there are thousands of good North Carolina people who are tobacco spitting and smoking their lives away, and No-To-Bac is an easy guaranteed cure and they ought to know it.”
