IS DRUNKENNESS CURABLE?
The Matter Has Been Debated, but Ii Is Still
an Open Question.

Perverted nutrition due to alcohol itself is
not easily remedied. the yearning demands
of the poison being difficult to destroy by
medicines. Various antidotes have, how
ever. been suggested and some are thought
highly of in this connection. Nearly five
centuries ago the old alchemist, Roger Ba-
con, asserted that he had discovered in
aurum potable, or the tincture OF gold, the
yeritable elixir of life. to drink of which
would restore age and decrepitude to youth
and beauty. The properties of this wonder
ful tlncture, however. have dissolved away
and disappeared till now the only medical
value claimed for any combination of gold is
that Of the chloride, which is regarded as
specific for the effects of drunkenness, one
physician claiming to have made perma-
nent cures of 80 per cent of his cases.
1t is difficult to see how he can
claim permanency of cure for 80 large
percentage unless the patients are all dead.
1he writer's experience in many cases where
he has administered the chloride OF gold has
not convinced him of its efficacy. Other
drugs, extract of gentian, the sulphate and
also nitrate OF strychnia, brom0- potash,
bromidia, etc, have been urged similarly as
speclhcs for drunkenness. AS it is doubtful
whether the physical action of any drug
taken for brief period will influence the
individual to temperate, sober course of
LIE Tor a series of years thereafter, unless
the state OF his mind and other conditions are
favorable, we must still regard the inquiry
an open question-Is drunkenness durable?

the prospects of the California wine trade

the best wines produced in this State
Many of the swell clubs also are patrons of
