lChicago Tribune, April 1871
In the issue of tho Tribune Of March "a
was printed the following important letter:
MMHEAPoLls, Mimi, March Sin times past
you have published numerous articles on the
cure of drunkenness. but none of them, 80 far
in relieving the victim they were intended to
benefit. With your permission, will now give
to the world, through the Sun, ASSURE and speedy
cnre for intemperance-a cure that has been
tried frequently, and always successfully.
Let the inebriate-it matters not whether he
is just getting off. is beginning it, or on .
spree -4begin by taking eee,y t,eo hours one
lruchm {tsaspoonful) Of tinetu,e Of cinchono
peruvian bark. This will make him feel
good. he can increase the dose to six drachms
(teaspoonfnls) without any danger, and take it
| in that proportion four to ten times day. It
will not destroy his appetite for food. In the
course OF few days the arti-periodic proper
ties of the cinchona begin to tell, and he
loses not only all taste for the tincture, but
also for everything in the way of alcohol.
Recently, in this city, well-known gentle
man-who has in times past been on his $500
and 81. 600 sprees-tried this remedy telling the
various druggists where he drank it that he was
fighting, and would conquer, the greatest demon
on earth; but they could hardly believe him.
Yet he conquered, and the appetite for drink
vanished. He was never nervous, never lost his
appetite or sleep during the siege, and came
$50 I.
time the fever lasted gave him two br three
doses of simple medicine for his general health,
but the tinctare of cinchona did the business.
This case can be verified by the pr,prietors of
seven of our drug-stores. So well satisfied am
I of the value of the treatment, that I will
guarantee q cure in all cases, using this remedy
alone. II. d. NaER NJ. d.
In subsequent letter, communicated to
the Chicago Tribune, DR.. D'Unger says:
As all medical men and druggists are aware,
there il a large amount Of adulteration in the
Peruvian bark of commerce." many banks
which are mixed with the genuine possessing
the same bitter principle observed in quinine,
but not the aiteratirs and anti-pe,toatc proper
ties which the genuine bark alone possesses. In
speaking of tincture of cinchona, therefore
should have mentioned that the bark out of
which it is made must be pure. for it is the anti
periodic property that cures i,e6riati0n.
1t has been objected by some that the
doctors remedy is nostrum, and that he
has offered no prescription. The extracts
above given show that it is not nostrum, but
well known medicine, and the prescription
is given in detail, so that any one can use it
if he is careful to procure the pure article.
There have already appeared comm unica-
tons il our columns attesting to the efficacy
Of the remedy, and we have regretted to
observe one sneering at it, and suggesting
that the only cure for drunkenness is to visit
the gospel temperance meetings at Farwell
Hall. The feniedy is very simple one. It
can be had in every town and city, and there
certainly can be no harm in testing it. It is
an excellent tonic, whether it cures intern
perance or not. Chicago is full of people
who ought to give it fair test, and those
who are sneering at it would do well to wait
until it has beer proved a failure.
If DR.. D'Unger has really discovered q
specific that will cure inebriates Of the bum
ing desire or appetite for strong drink, he
will be one of the greatest benefactors to
the human race tho world has ever known.
II this remedy proves successful and could
be administered to every man and woman
who has an appetite for liquor. it would
advance the world towards the Millennium.
It would do away with crime almost alto
gether. It would bring sunshine into thou
sands Of darkened homes. It would Danish
poverty. 1t would reunite discovered fami-
liess Il would make men industrious and
women haPpy. Any man who can bring
about such results as these, has mads dis
covery by the side of which Mi. Edison e
ere unimportant. It may be that DR.. Dun
GERS fehsdy will prove failure; but it cor
tainly deserved fair tf4si, and there are
J plenty of men in this city who ought to test
it at once. There is no secret about the
medicine or the formula. It is easily pro-
! cured, and any one can prepare it. A very
short time will test IFS merits. If it does
what Dr.. D. Unger claims for 1t, it cannot help
brt break up drunkenness. Many people can
stop drinking for i ttIas, but by and-by the
appetite returns with increased force; and
the victim finds himself unable to resist it
He makes brief struggle, but finally yields
and all the temperance societies and meet
ines Of the Farwell Hall sort in the worlc
cannot help bin; It is as much a disease as
scarlet fever or small pos, and it rnust be at
tackled as these diseases are. THIS remedy
the doctor claims, will destroy the appetite
for strong drink. That once destroyed

If the appetite is not cured, the VIC

the Earwell Hall temperance meetings and Q
all other temperance societies are wise, the.

their work, and, even should it fail, it can d
no harm. Instead Of sneering at it, OF con
denlning It before trial, let them recommen

try il. The doctor has evidently attea fror
( aisinterested motives. There is no epecuia
