It expels the cause of alcoholic disease, whether inherited ‘or induced by excessive drains on either physical or mental energy. It acts through the blood upon every part of the system, and once taken there will never be'the need nor de- sire for taking strong drink. Samaria Prescription is a wholesome and infallible pro- tection to the man who is just beginning to seek for false sol- ace, false strength, or false in- spiration in ‘the cup.” Ithas restored hundreds who have habit, saved and cea the characters of many who had been given up as wrecks. With thousands of warning amples of the curse of liquor before their eyes, moderate drinkers persist in imagining that they can trifle with the serpent without being stung. Alcoholic desire or thirst is an unnatural want, and Samaria Prescription corrects the con- dition that inspires it. It does this from the first day it is used, and it never fails in its wond- rous work tocure a manof the ' liquor habit so that he will stay cured.
