The Superintendent Of the Washington
House, Boston asylum for played-ou' topers'
has been very successful with what is called
the rational treatment Of paticnts-that IS, IN
stead Of denying liquor to the inmates when
they first arrive it is furnished in small guam
titles, diluted. but colorcd innOcenty, and
small dose Of a simple emmetic mixture put
in. Thus a sort Of deathly sickness is worked
up without producing actual vomiting and
the drunkard soon becomes Disguised with the
liquor and turns teetotaller. In this way two
hundred and uinty-fve persons-eonhrmed
druukards-were cured this year, aud are now
