The Cure Of Drunkenness.

1t is said that at the water-cure estab-
lishment at Clifton Springs, n. T., they
have a mode of treatment which has
proved successful in the radical cure Of
many cases Of intemperance. The IT.
resistable passion for liquor which is
acquired by men who cannot govern
their appetites, is quite as much IA phys
ical as a moral disease, and the terrible
craving for the accustomed stimulous,
which constitutes the great and appar-
emily irresistible obstacle to reform,
comes mostly from the local intlamma-
ton of the stomach and brain. Its cure
by medical treatment is not, therefore,
irrational, and if it is possible it should
be understood that those who struggle
vainly to break the chains of a degrad-
ing habit, may avail themselves of what
ever medical reinforcement may on-
tribute to the support of III enfcebled
will. There is a famous prescription in
use in England, for the cure Of drunk
enness, by which thousands are said to
have been assisted in recovering them
selves. The recipe came into notoriety
through the efforts of John Vine Hall,
father of the Rev. Newman Hall and
Capt. Vine Hall, commander of the
Great Eastern Steamship. lie had fall
len into such habitual drunkenness that
his most earnest efforts to reclaim him
self proved unavailing. At length he
sought the advice of an eminent physi-
clan, who gave hima prescription which
he followed faithfully for Y months,
and at the end of that time had lost all
desire for liquors, though he had been
for many years led captive by a most
debasing appetite. The recipe, which
he afterwards published, and by which
so many other drunkards have been as
sisted to reform, is as fo.lows-"Sul-
phate of iron, 5 grains (; magnesia, 10
grains T; peppermint water, IL drachms;
spirit of nutmeg, l drachm, twice a
day.
This preparation acts as a tonic and
%stimulant, and so partially supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and
prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostration that follow a sudden
breaking of from the use of stimulat-
ing drinks. In cases where the appe-
tite for liquors is not too strong, the
medicine supplies the place Of the
drains entirely, but Mr.. Hall continued
the use Of liquors at first with the med
icine, diminishing the amount gradually
until he was able to throw away his
bottle and glass altogether, after which
he continued to take the medicine a
month or two till he felt that he was |
wholly restored to %self-control and could |
rejoice in a sound mind and il a sound
body. There is probably in the case of
this medicine, as of all others, very
much in the moral support given to the
patient by confidence in it as a specific. |
But there is no doubt hat it also acts
directly as a remedy by assisting in the
recovery of the normal and healthy tone
of the system. Anybody beginning to
suspect that he is going too fast and
too far, and exceeding the scriptaral
limit of what is needful "for his stom-
ach's sake and often infrmities," will
do well to try this celebrated English
cure, and if it does the work, recon-
mend it to his neighbors who incline to
similar weakness Springfield Repu5ii-

Editor Pioneer and Democrat:
DEAR SIR:-I hasten to inform you OF
the fact that there has just been discovered
in this vicinity silver mine, which, If one
half the "relable reports be true, is rich
er, and supposed to be as extensive as the
famous Washoe diggings. Three gentlemen
who had been on a prospecting tour up
Gray.s River in Washington Territory,
and who were Induced to go on account Of
having received specimens Of the ore from
an Indian, returned three or four weeks ago
with as much silver ore as they could con-
veniently pack. A portion of this ore was
Immediately forwarded to San Francisco to
be assayed Some of it was sent to Port
land Oregon City. We have just received
the reports Of the several assays made, land
find that they oil quite or nearly agree as
10 its richness, which is about $1,000 to q
ton. These reports have created great
excitement, add Astoria is about to become
nearly depopulated. : Some thirty or forty
miners, are ready and will leave early to-
morrow morning for the mines, piloted by
the three gentlemen. Three Indians and
our squaws accompany the expedition as
packers. Last evening the silver seekers
called meeting and unanimously elected
Mr.. H****** to remain at home and take
special care OF the female portion of the
town; his services, if performed in an hon
est and Joseph-like manner, to be requited
by a one tenth interest in each Of ten claims
to be taken by the miners, whoare to leave
behind them ten wives 1t has been rain
ing necessarily, for the last eight or ten
days, but this does not cool the ardor Of
those in pursuit of dame Fortune. Grny's
River lies nearly opposite to upper Astoria,
in Washington Territory, and II your peo
plc on the Sound do not take advantage Of
this" rich opening" they should be obliged
to diet on clans and other bi-ea,ves during
the balance Of their natural lives.
