AN OLD ToPER's -SToRY.-"I sup
pose you hardly know me-" he said,
smile wreathing his health-bloom-
ing face. The reporter admitted that
he at FIRST had hardly been able to,
and then becoming confidential, as
old friends do on meeting, he soon
learned the cause Of the change.
Yes" said the friend, II used to be
a very hard drinker, as you know. I
tried several times to quit, but could
not. The appetite for strong drink
was too much for me. If went
without it for awhile I became q nerv-
GUS wretch. I had to drink or die.
A thought was suggested to me one
day, though, and made up my mind
to make one supreme effort to rescue
myself. l reasoned this way: A
man takes liquor into his stomach,
and the stimulant, through the blood,
affects the brain. Now, / thought if /
could satisfy my appetite without the
liquor affecting my brain, I would be
all right. If could get the taste of
the liquor, the aroma, the essence of
it, without taking it into the stomach,
| knew / could drink at pleasure and
not become intoxicated, as drunken
ness could not ensue if the liquor did
not enter the stomach. I say this
idea was suggested to me, and it was
in this way / had noticed that men
who made business of buying and
selling wines in large quantities sam
pied them and ascertained their quail
ity and boquet by taking two or three
mouthfuls in succession, rolling it
around their tongues, as one might
say, bathing their palate in tin
short, subject it to the severest test
by the organs of taste-and then
ejecting it from the mouth without
swallowing any. The remembrance
Of this came upon me one day when

pendent. I resolved to try it. ibid,
and have met with the most crafty
ing success. You may laugh, but it
is the solemn truth. | took large
drink of liquor, bnt instead of letting
it pass into my stomach / checked it
in my throat and gargled it for
minute, and then spit it out. To my
JOY ! found my thirst for it almost as
much appeased as though had swal-
lowed the liquor. l tried it again
and again, with the same effect. l
was not made drunk. I have follow
ed this plan ever since, and have not
been drunk since, although l have
gargled the liquor, never swallowing
a drop, as many as a dozen or more
times a day-the same number Of
drinks used to take. The plan is a
very simple one, and is. believe, the
only one for slave of the cup"
HAS you appetite increased ?"
ION the contrary, it has decreased.
