CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS1

Orrine Treatment .To Be Used at Home Without Publicity, or Losi of Time from Business. ' . The best aid to temperance is something that will strengthen the drunkard's nervous system and cure his unnatural craving for drink. We believe that any man who really desires to be cured of the liquor habit can cure himself by using Orrine. This remarkable treatment has made ' so many cures that we are glad to sell It under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. It is in two forms: - No. 1 that can be given secretly, and No. 2 for those who wish to be cured. It is not only he most reliable treatment known, but t is also the most economical, as it osts only $1 a box and there is sio detention from the usual duties, while if a cure is not effected, there Is no expense whatever.
