Something More About DR.. D'UnEer's Cur
for Drunkenness.
From Saturdays Inter Ocean.
In an interview published in this paper las
THURSDAY, Dr. T. d. Williams. chemist OF thi
city, cast some reflections upon the efficacy
DR.. D'Ungerss cure for drunkenness, SO adver
tiscd. To obtain the views OF the physicians
the opposite school (a1!opaths) representative
Of the Iuter-Octan visited the physicians ycster
dav afternoon. One Of them, whose name il
withheld at his own request, prorni',e"
Professor, stated in reply to question!
that, owing to D'Unger's success il
curing drunkards. he had taken thu
liberty of recommending him to any persons aoao
desired to be treated. He knew Of Que instance
where gentleman who had been in the habit
of drinking quart of whisky daily had beer
cured ln few days. He knew nothing OF D'0n
gers standing as gentleman and member ol
the medical profession, either in Minnesota OF
in MARYLAND, iu which States the Doctor is sup
posed to have lived for some time: Tue gentle.
man could no: tell whether D'Ungcr actually
used ciuehuna or not The Doctor mystifed
matters considerably, and no physician here had
taken the trouble to analyze the medicine, which
the Doctor allowed to evaporate from quart
into less than pint.
Dr., A!mon Brooks was also called upon. He
knew nothing whatever OF DR.. D'Unger's pre-
yious history, and he could not say what his
standing was AS the Doctor seemed willing to
talk, he was akeu ii he knew OF any cure that
Dr.. D'Unesr had effected. Said the Doctor:
" took Dr.. D'unger to see patient had
hcpti fraHtiur Innr time 11n6ncreSSfulIV. for
chronic alcoholism. The patient was very anx-
ious to leave of drinking When he did so his
suffering was so very great that, be wac always
forced to return to the use of ALCOHOL We
found the patient trembling before a stove,
and, when VIZ entered, he sald that he
wished VIC would go, that be might get
some drink. DR.. D'Unger took out flask
Of his medicine. The patient, not Knowing
what 1t was. accepted a drink, as hc believed.
DR.. D'Unger's medicine had at once marvel
Gus ELECT, not only in removing The desire tor
stimulants, but in improving the general health
of the patient. 1t is now over month since
this particular patient began to take clnctlona,
and he remains up to this time entirely free
from any desire to return to the use OF alcoholic
stlmuiants."

''Haye you no knowledge OF him, obtained

REPLY TO DR.. EARLE.
WAsH1SGToSlAS HOME, CHICAGO, Jan. A.
Dr. D. Unqer-DEAR SIR: noticed in last Sun
iay's issue OF TIE CHICAGO TRIBUNE an attack
upon your neutrality-suspicious. rubra,-denounc-
nc its advertisement, etc., from Dr. Earle. In
oehalf Of that large class Of suffering drinking
men and their families whom Tou are trying to
,eueve and benefit, I take the liberty of inform
ng you OF a few facts which 1 am in possession
II, which will account for q portion, at least,
3f the '< histories y that he claims he has il his
possession.

If the Washingtonian Home were congregated
Il the clerks office, conyersing on various top

ion turned upon cinchona-i The Doctor ut
irst treated the subject with derisiye smile,
ienouncing it as - humbug,n eLr., but con- |

or more light on the subject, and says: "1f it
specific, desire to know it," This conclus-
)p OF his is sufficient to show that he was still
S dcsirous to decide against cincnona without
ufhcionI evidence when he wrote that letter as
e appeared to be at the outset; and this one
Ided investigation OF his is not made the more
onorable BY his waiting six weeks while you |
