HOPE FOR THE DRUNKARD.

CERTAIN CURE FOR DlPSOMANIA FOUND.
The physicians and temperance men of
Chicago are very much excited over a new
remedy discovered by DIR. Robert D. 'Unger,
which not only cures intempcrance, but
leaves the drunkard with an absolute aver
sion to spiriluous liquors. Mr.. Joseph
Medill, the editor Of the Chicago Tribune,
is one of the strongest endorsers of the new
remedy. MIR 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 a simple rem
cdy 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 wonderful discov-
cries of the ago. DR.. D'Unger has actually
cured $500 cases Of the worst forms of
intemperance. He takes men aebauehed
by liquor for .ycars-takes used-up, do.
mentcd, loathsome sot, an6 in ten days
makes well man Of him with positive
aversion to liquor"
"You have seen the medicine tried, Mr..
Mcdill"
''Ycs, repeatedly. Why, one Of our first
citizens became common drunkard few
years ago. He fell to the lowest depths
lie grovcled in the dust. His wife, 4 lovely
woman, got 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 week he gained the use OF his tongue,
hands and brain. Then color camo to his
checks, and in two weeks he was cured
man. He had no longing for liquor. He
positively hates the sight of it. His wife
and children arc delighted, and tomorrow
this reformed and cured drunkard is TO be
married again to the loving wife who had
to leave him year ago"
''is this medicine secrct?"
'No, not at all. DR.. D'Unger is a regu.
lar practitioner. lie tells the secret to
every one, and many Of our physicians are
using his discovery | will give you note
to him, and he will tell you aoout it,"
Armed with Mr. Mcdill's nctc 1 called
on DIR. D'Uuger at the Palmetto House.
You are just in time" said the Doctor
Pm just going to call on a patient now
who, though itch man, has been de-
bauched drunkard for fifteen years. For
six weeks he has been in bed as hcl less as
Il child. His memory was even gone. He
has been taking my medicine for four
days"
lis Mr.-in bed 2" asked the Doctor,
as we gave our name to the servant.
''Oh, no; he's in the parlor reading-walk
in."
And there was this drunkard still weak
but mcntqly cured. When the Doctor
AK ID hin, if he had any lopging for liquor,
h., .. wi hnu
eaten the best meal this morning that |
have eaten in fifteen years. | am not mcn-
tally depressed. | am strong, and
woaldn't take a drink of liquor for the
world, and"
"Oh, Doctor" Interrupted his wife as
she took both his hands, "you have saved
George, and we are SO happy" and then
her eyes filed with tears Of joy.
"Wil that man ever drink again ?"
asked the doctor.
"No. I've never had patient cured by
cinchona rubra return to drink again. They
hate the sight of liquor"
"Now, DOCTOR" | said, "what did you
give this patient, or, in other words tell
me in plain English what your medicine is,
how you prepare it, and how any one may
give it so az to cure an habitual drunkard
mean drunkard with inhamed eyes,
trembling hands, boated body, and intellect
shattered By habitual drink"
"Nly medicine" said the doctor, "can be
bought at any first class drug store. It is rcd
Peruvian bark (cinchona ruJra). Qunine
is from the yellow bark (cali$aya). Now,
there arc eighty varieties Of this bark. |
use the bark from the small limbs Of the
red variety. Druggists call it the quill bark,
because it comes from twiggs about the size
Of quill"
