PANIES REFUSE TO IN- “SURE HEAVY DRINKERS. A man’s life must bein peril when fuse to accept his by alcohol, and the dram- drinker is sure to havea shorte ened life.” Samaria Prescription begins the revolution which trans- forms the confirmed drinker into a new man ofclean tastes and habits from the very first day it is used. And it never fails to conquer the craving for liquor completely and per- manently. Its first action is to stimulate the system up to overcome the desire for liquor. A sensation of satisfying strength is felt after the first day of its use. While repairing the wastes which alcohol has wrought in the system, itsupplants the ap- petite for liquor with a whole- some relish for food. Its whole action is to build up and strengthen every organ while the grand transformation of a life’s habit is being effected. With its cure it brings restored liquor antidote in tablet form, impalpable to the taste. Itdis- solves instantly in water, tea, coffee, or any beverage you may choose to take it--or give it, It is used in such minute quantities that it may be read- ily mixed with any food in an instant. And, throughits mar- vellous tonic action on the di- gestion, it accomplishes the wonderful results which are praised in hundreds of testi- monials from men who have had the courageous self-re- spect to cure themselves, and from brave women who ad- ministered the remedy to save those near to them who had drowned the ambition to save themselves.
