Habit.

Used with Good Results.
Two Women Who Hare Long Used Mor.

this city, for drunkenness, and with the most re-
markable and gratifying results, would seem to
! be destined to meet the requirements Of an
other class of unfortunatcs, who are addicted to
| the habit of opium eating. It Is very we'll
| known that the Doctor has never put this artt-
| cle-cinchona rubra--before the world as cure
for the opium habit; but during his practice. In
| this city especially, he has been brought into
| contact with several parties who have been Its
| victims, and he has met with most successful
| results in treating it With ctuchona- There are
| at present
TWO CASES WHICH DESERVE SPECIAL MENTION,
! as they are OF recent development, and one OF
the parties afflicted has achieved sort OF noto-
| riety that has made her name familiar to the
public. 4 week ago last Sunday woman who
! gives the name Of May Hayes, and who had
lircd life not altogether after the Biblical
precepts, perhaps, since her sojourn in Chicago,
attempted suicide by jumping into the river
from the Twelfth street bridge. She Was dshed
out and taken to the Cook County Hospital.
She remained there until Saturday last. Just
| after her unsuccessful attempt at taking her
own life, Dr.. D'Unger, noticing BY the news
paper reports that she had been slave to the
opium habit, announced in the press that he
would willingly undertake ner cure. This came
to the notice of the Indies connected with the
Wouaen's Christian Temperance Union, and
they took steps to get the girl out Of the hOspl
tai and into a good boarding-place, where she
could receive the treatment proposed. They
were successful and the administering
Of the c;neboEa was begun at once, and with
what results will be seen from the subjolncd
statements:
