INEBR1ATE CUREs.-The Pennsylvania
Sanitarium, or Asylum for Inebriates,
has been in operation Eve years. and
during that time has had under its care
275 persons addicted to intoxicatior
either by alcohol or opium. 126 OF
these have been citizens of Philadelphia,
and statement Of results shows nine
who have maintained their sobriety for
four years, eleven for three years, ten
for two years, eleven for one year, and
eighteen for less than one year. It is
proper to observe, however, that four of
the whole number have died since they
left the institution-three of consump-
tion and one of fever. OF the per cent
age of recoveries in cases not belonging
to Philadelphia, the directors soy they
cannot speak with the same accuracy,
from the fact that they have not the
same means of following them up and
knowing their history; but satisfac-
tory reports are received from many.
Even If the success OF such institu-
tions we're less, the rescue of only u
few from the fate which overtakes the
victim Of babitual intoxication would
deservs the generous sympathy of the
community.
