4 CHICAGO, December 24.-The physicians
and temperance men Of Chicago are very
much excited over new remedy discover.
ed by DR.. Robert D Unger, which not only
cures intemperance, but leaves the drunk
ard with IN oluteaversion TO spirituous
liquors. Mr.. Joseph Medill, the editor OF
the Chicago Tribune, is one Of the strong
est indorsers OF the new remedy. Mr..
Medill has had many scientific articles in
the Tribune about It, and has often devoted
editorial space to make known to the
drunkard that there is simple remedy
which can save him.
Yesterday l had long talk with Mr..
Medill about this wonderful discovery,
during which he said:
''This Is one OF the most wonderful dis
coyeries OF the age. DR.. D'Unger has
actually cured $500 cases OF the worst
forms Of intemperanCe. He takes men
debauched by liquor for years-takes a
used-up, dcmented, loathsome sot, and in
ten days makes well man OF him, with q
positive aversion TO liquor"
"You have seen the medicine tried, Mr..

citizens became common drunkard few
years ago. He fell to the lowest depths.
He groYeled In the dust. His wife, love
ly woman, got divorce from him. But
ct the last moment, when ready TO die,
this mans friends tried this wonderful
remedy. In four days his appetite came
back, and in week he gained the use OF
bis tongue, hands and brain. Then color
came TO his cheeks, and in two weeks he
was cured man. lie had no longing for
liquor. He positively hates the sight OF it.
His wife and children are delighted, and

Armed will, Mr.. Medill's note called
on DR.. D'unger at the Palmer House.
"You are Just in time" said the Doctor.
"I'm just going TO call on patient now,
who, though a rich man, has been do

steady drinkcr for fifteen years. For six
weeks he has been in bed rs helpless as q

"Oh, Doctor" interrupted his wife, as
she took both his hands, 'you have saved
George, and We sre SO happy and then
her eyes filed with tears OF Joy.
"Will that man ever drink again. !
asked the Doctor.
"No. I've never had patient cured by
