hahitual drunkards is said to work most
successfully. Such persons in Norway
and Sweden render themselves subject to
imprison ment, an it is during the term
of Incarceration tn at the cure of their fail
ing is attempted.
The plan consists In making the delin-
quent subsist entirely on bread and wine.
The bread is stepped in bowl of wine for
an hour or more before the meal is served.
The first day the habirual topper takes his
food in this shapewithout repugnance; the
second day he finds IL less agreeable TO his
palate; finally he positively loathes tine
Sight OF ir. Experience shows that
period OF from eight to ten days of this
regimen is generally more than sufficient
TO make mau eyince the greatest aver
sion TO anything in the shape of wine.
Many men after their Incarceration be-
come total abstainers.
