MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. &C. 1s78.-It has
been nearly FIVE months since l gave to the
public the facts relative to my discovery that
dlpsomania, or drunkenness, is 4 disease Lf the
sepsorial nerve cells, and thata properly-naade
tincture from pure Cinchona ruhra is a specific
for it.
During the period that has interviewed be-
tween the publication of my recipe and the
present time, have received and responded to
% oyer 900 letters, coming from thirty three
States and Territories, the sorrowful contents
OF many of them such as would move to sym
pathy the heart of an anchorite. These many
letters have been addressed to me by hopeless
men, heartbroken women, and despairing mai
dens; and it the parties who wrote them are
to be believed, they stand ready and willing to
pay anything they possess in this world for a
cure OF the great alcoholic curse ander which
they themselves, or those in whose interest
tney nave written, now groan. But right here
wish to put 1t upon record that, when many
OF the writer's of these affecting epistles were
ADVISED that 1T would cost from 95 to 1926 to
effect the great reformation they sought, their
ardor cooled off and I heard no more from
them.

however, because the world is full of charlan-
tanlsm and quackery; but hope to be able to
remove from their minds any idea they may
entertain that am engaged in that species of
crookedness. And, with this project in view,
herewith make a test proposition, which, if ac-
cepted and faithfully carried out will solve
the promlem as to the efficacy OF cinchona in
Ln( Il
ness. This is my offer:
Will send (free of all charge) a bottle of
pure Cinchona Rubra Tincture to each of ten
of the worst drunkards in Chicago, provided
they satisfy me by a respectable reference that
they earnestly wish to be saved from alcoholic
ruin, and will take the remedy according to
the directions l require age, weight, com
plexion, the length of time they have been
drinking, and fair general health--no more:
and will assure my patients of this; that they
will neither drop into the horrors" have
mdnid-d-p0tu, or any other sickness from the
change cinchona will produce in their systems.

cause am well aware that there are persons in
Chicago. as well as in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, who, to prevent the great truth | have
endeavored to promulgate from being acknowl-
edged, are ready and anxious to resort to any
piece of cunning whereby their ends may be
snbserved and mine frustrated. Let Chicago's
phllanthroplsts give me the patients.
Further, am prepared to do this: For fee
of $25-sent me in registered letter or by
postoffce money order-I will forward free by
express, to any address in the United States

matter of how long standing or how desperate

not cured of bis or her Incorporate nabit (?l

factory evidence being furnished that the
remedy taken according to directions and
failed to do its work.
Lastly, if cinchona is not cure, l desire to
know it, and will more readily an
nounce it's ineficiency than myself. I have
witnessed SO many instances of its success, how
ever, that l am satisfied it really deserves to
have bestowed upon it all the faith 1 have ex-
hibited in trying to bring it into public notice
