WHO WILL TRY 1T /?

A Russian physician named Portugal
loft declares that stryclInine is an infal-
lihIe cure for drunkenness, administer
ed in subcutaneous injections. The
effect OF the strychnine solution is to
change the craving for drink into posi-
tive aversion. and the change is effected
in day. After treatment OF eli ght or
ten DAYS the patient may be dischared
The stryct,nine is administered by dis
solving one grain in 200 drops OF water,
and Injecting five DROPS of the solution
every twenty-four hours.
Tie difficulty in testing the virtues Of
the above is to find a man who will
acknowledge that he is a drnnkard, or
that he uses more intoxicating bevera-
ges than he really stands in need of. He
can point out neighhnrs who are drunk
ards, but he himself has too much self
control ever to become heastly drunk
ard. Plenty Of temperance men and
women would willingly try IT, but it
takes genuine, God forsaken, self
doomed d,unkard to prove that DR..
Portugaiof1rs recipe is a remedy for
drunkenness.
