SuRFEIr OF INToxIcATIoN--The Spectator
mentions curious remedy in use in Swedish
hospitals for that form Of madness which ex-
hibits itself in the uncomfortable appetite of al
coholic stimulants The process may be easily
described. We will suppose that the liquor
the patient is addicted to drinking is the
commonest in the country--say gin. When he
enters the hospital for treatment, he is supplied
with his favoritc drink, and with no other if
any thing else is given him, or any other food
it is favored with gin. He is in heaven-the
very atmosphere is redolent OF his favorte per-
fume His room is scented with gin; his bed,
his clothes, every mouthful he cats or drinks,
everything he touches every zephyr that steals
into the room brings to him still gin. He be-
gins to grow tired OF it-begins rather to wish
for something ese-begins to find the oppres-
sion intolerable-hates it--cannot bear the
sight or scent of it--longs for emancipation,
and at last emancpated. He issues into tho
as return Of that loathed prosecutor which
would not leave him an hours rest in his con-
finement.
"This remedy" says our contemporary, cap.
pears to have been thoroughly effectual SO eff
fectual that persons who deplore their uncon-
trolable propensity have petitioned for admis-
sion to the hospital in order to be cured, and
they have been cured"
LUDIcRoUs MIsCHIEF.-The following droll
incident is related in the Knicherbocker, as hav-
ing occurred to lady of high responsibility in
Brooklyn.
"The lady has charming little boy very OBJ
serving initiative and active. The child had no.
ticed the postman constantly leaving letters and
moving off quickly; and he thought it would
be very nice thing to become postman. So
he one day went to his mammals excrutiorc, and
took out some twenty-five or thirty letters,
tied them up and sailed forth, leaving one at
every house, and moving off quick. The lady
was rather surprised when her next neighbor
brought her On opened letter, which she said
somebody had left at her door but what was
her establishment, when visiting hour arrived
for another, and another lady coming in all
bringing opened letters, until her ample parlor
was completely crammcd. You need not doubt
the mirth and fun grew fast and furious, as each
lady entered with the same tale, and the little
postman was elated beyond measure to find
what capital postman he was; but the best OF
The fun was that every lady, one and all, asser-
ted she had not read one word. Oh, no no,
they, ladies are far, far above prying into Other
ladies' letters. The lady to whom the letters
were addressed is fortunately the mother of
lovely family, and the letters were from early
friends, schoolmates, &C."
