Methods to Pursue to Keep the Prom.
ises Made New Years Day.
From the Neto YORK Graphic.

From the Neto YORK Graphic
"Let me have two powders, thirty grains
each bromide potassium and one-sixth
of a grain morphine" said man in an
uptown Broadway drug store on Tuesday
afternoon.
The powders were promptly made up
and handed to the customer. As he left
the store the clerk said to reporter, 'Guess
who he isf'
IA DOCTOR probably"
''Well yes, he is a doctor inasmuch as
with hundreds of others, he doctors himself
at this time regularly every year for the same
disease, and knows better how TO prescribe
for himself than the family physician. He
is an annual swearer-otf from whisky and
his disease is dIpsomania. This is the third
season he has been in here at the beginning
of The new year"
"What does he take the drugs forl"
ITO help him over the first few days of his
abstinence. When man has been drink
ing regularly and stops off suddenly he
must have something to make him sleep at
night. The combination of bromide with
a little morphine is excellent, and unlike
choral hydrate there is no danger where the
heart is effected. Very few steady drinkers
have sound hearts, and it is a dangerous
drug where there is heart trouble Choral
form in the blood. Everyone knows how
dangerous chloroform is where the heart is
weak

at has gone greatly out of fashion, and
is seldom asked for. IL steadies the nerves
all right, but il is bad for both the head and
the stomach. IL has the merit, however, of
acting quickly. 1t is good enough for young
men who only go on a tear once III three or
four months and make a night of it, but
when a man has been steadily drinking for
ten or twelve years then he had better let it
alone when swearing off. 1t will do him
more harm thad good"
1.-THE bromide after ALL" continued the
drug clerk after he mad served some custom
ers sis mans main dependence in getting
rid of the nervous feeling which follows
drunk as we'll as d. T. itself. IL is better
for a man to leave out morphine and take
his punishment in a sleepless night. If he
gets into taking morphine in any shape
the habit is likely to grow upon him, espec
tally if he gets to taking it hyperdermic-
ally.
Now | would advise a man who wants
to swear off and does not want TO backslide
TO start in the minute he gets over his nerv-
BUSINESS and build up his stomach with a
good tonic OF bark and iron. He should
live much as a prize fighter in training for
little while-avoiding made dishes and going
in for boefsteaks and mutton chops. In
little while he will, if he is young man,
suffer nothing and feel that swearing off is
no hardship It IS different, though, when
a man has been drinking for years"

''Ahl there's the rub. Words with those

again, and he winds up 1883 as he did 1887.
Such men would do far better it they only
swore off from distilled liquors and allowed
themselves a little light tonic and beer for
their stomach'S sake. A little moral cour-
age would enable them to keep away from
the temptation OF getting drunk on such
feeble stimulants, and they would accom-
plish a reform wonderful for them.

THAT MASS LETTING.

Last week we solicited names
from every precinct in Elmore's
boundaries to be attached to call
for mass meeting at Mountain
Home, October 10Th. Our sole de-
sire was to get a move of the people
in that direction. We proposed
that day simply because of the Odd
Fellows ball and the half-fare rate
of travel on both railroad and stage
lines to Mountain Home on that oc-
casion. But up to the present time
no precinct except Rocky Bar has
paid any attention to our suggestion,
and % of the citizens of that town
ask that the convention be held at
Pine Grove. The BULLETIN will
stand in on almost any proposition
for harmony and division" Let
the people of Rocky Bar issue their
call, stating the date and place, and
no doubt the people of this section
will cheerfully respond by attend
ing in large numbers.
Mountain Home bulletin. (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1888-1889, 1888-09-22
TELEGRAPH LINE TO THE BAR

1t is gratifying to the BULLETIN
to be able to say that a telegraph
line from Mountain Home to Rocky
Bar is now an assured fact. The
Haley folks made strong bid for
it by offering to take $4,000 of its
stock, but the Rocky Bur managers
preferred Mountain Home, provided
our people showed a disposition to
help themselves by taking $1,000
in shares. This much having been
subscribed here, the matter is now
settled beyond doubt, and Rocky
Bar and Mountain Home will in a
very few weeks be in Geographic
communication. 1t is estimated
that the proposed line will cost
$4,000, of which sum Rocky Bar
subscribes "a 600. The wire has
been ordered and Frank AXE al
ready secured the contract for cut
ting and placing the poles in posi-
ton. He will enter upon that work
Immediately. Score one little deed
of public enterprise for Mountain
Home.
