Cured Her Husband of Drinking
Write Her Today and She Will Gladly Tell You How She Did It.
My husband was a hard drinker for over 20 years and has tried in every way to stop but could not do so. I at last cured him by a simple home remedy which anyone can give secretly. I want everyone who has drunkenness in their homes to know of this and if they are sincere in their desire to cure this disease and will write to me, I will tell them jest what the remedy is. My address is Mrs. Margaret Anderson. Box 508 Hilburn. N.Y. I am sincere in this offer. I have sent this valuable information to thousands and will gladly send it to you if you will but write me today. As I have nothing whatever to sell. I want no money.
