DRUNKENNESS CURED.

DR.. Robert D'Unger, which not only
cures intemperance, but leaves the
drunkard with an absolute aversion
to spurious liquors. Mr.. Joseph
Medill, the editor Of the Chicago
Tribune, is one of the strongest
endorsers of the remedy. Mr..
Medill has had many scientific
articles 10 the Tribune about
it, and has often devoted editorial
space to make known to the drunk
ard that there is simple remedy
which can save him.
Yesterday / had long talk with
Mr.. Medill about this wonderful
discovery, during which he said:
"This is one of the most wonder
full discoveries of the age. DIR. d.
Unger has actually cured $500
cases of the worst forms of intem-
perance. He has taken men de-
bauched by liquor for years-takes
a used-up, demented, loathsome sot,
and in ten days makes a well man
of him, with a positive aversion to
liquor"
"You have seen the medicine
tried, Mr.. Medill 2"
ayes, repeatedly. Why, one of
our first citizens became a common
drunkard few years ago. He fell
to the lowest depths. He grovell-
ed in the dust. His wife, lovely
woman, got a divorce from him,
but at the last moment, when ready
to die, this mans friends tried this
wonderful remedy. In four days
his appetite came back, and in a
week he gained the use of his
tongue, hands, aud brain. Then
the color came to his cheeks, and
in two weeks he was a cured man.
He had no longing for liquor. He
positively hates the sight of it.
His wife and children are delighted,
and tomorrow this reformed and
cured drunkard is to be married |
again to the loving wife who had
TO leave him a year ago."

Armed with Mr.. Medill's note,

Palmer House.
"You are just in time," said the
loctor. "I'm just going to call on

nan, has been a debauched drunk
ard for three years, and steady
1rinker for fifteen years. For six
weeks he has been in bed as help
