The Drunkard's Cure.

Some months ago gentleman adver-
tised that he had discovered a sure
specific for the cure of drunkenness.
He would not divulge the secret of what
compounds he used, but furnished the
medicine at SO much per bottle. He
did not have so many applicants for his
cure as he expected, considering the
extent of the disease. In fact, the
more malignant cases did not seem anx-
ious for relief they rather appeared to
enjoy the malady. A few, however,
placed themselves under treatment, and
some were cured whether by taking the
medicine, or by not taking strong
drinks, is not stated. One of the cured
ones had faith in the medicine, rigidly
carried out the directions of the doctor,
and now has not the least taste fer in
toxicating drinks whereas one year
ago he was an inebriate, and could not
get along with less than q pint to a
quart of whisky per day. He said that,
at some trouble and expense, he had
procured the recipe for the preparation
of the medicine, which he had pub
lished for the benefit of suffering hu-
manity. It is as follows:
Sulphate of iron, five grains pepper
mint water, eleven drachms spirit of
nutmeg, one drachm. Twice day.
This preparation acts as tonic and
stimulant, and so partially supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and
prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostration that follows sudden
breaking off from the use of stimulating
drinks. 1t is to- be taken in quantities
equal to an ordinary dram, and as
often as the desire for dram returns.
1t is estimated that there are in Eng
land alone not fewer than six hundred
thousand habitual drunkards OF
these, sixty thousand die annually, and
their places are supplied by sixty thou
sand others, drawn into the vortex Of
ruin, from what many regard the safe
and happy streams of moderation. Sc
that every ten minutes some fresh vic
tim becomes a drunkard-every ter
minutes some drunkard's soul is hur
ried to drunkard's eternity

night seems long.
