A CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

Commissioner Douglass Suggests n Trial Of
the Bichlorlde Of Gold Method.
Commissioner Douglass is a great believer in
the existence of some drug for the successful
cure of drunkenness and the liquor habit.
The recent experiments of DR.. Kelley Of
Dwight, ILL.,, with bichloride of gold for the
cure of the terrible thirst for liquor have
interested him exceedingly, and all newspaper
notices bearing upon the subject have been
carefully clipped and pasted in his big scrap
book, which has become perfect encyclopedias
for interesting data concerning District affairs
and other matters.
Today Commissioner Douglass decided to
have some practical illustrations Of the efficacy
of the bichloride of gold treatment here at
nome. he sent letter to DR.. j. Wesley Bovee,
the physician and surgeon in charge of the
Washington Asylum. who has devoted much
time to experiments of this kind.
In his letter Commissioner Douglass says
that we have some inveterate cases at the asy-
lum that ought to test the value of any known
or supposed remedy. He recommends that
the doctor look into the matter and if no can
get the formula to give it trial. Concluding
he says: "A cure for drunkenness know
sounds Utopian, but every now and then
this world makes big leap ahead and of late
it is not safe to laugh too heartily at any ad-
vance proposition" Speaking to a STAR re-
porter about the matter, Commissioner Doug
lass said:
Ialways did believe that there was some
thing which would cure that great curse to hui
manity-the liquor habit. believe in expert
menting and, as we have an abundance OF the
very choicest subject at the asylum, propose to
have several experiments. 1t can do no harm

Ludwig Mond's Experiments.

Prof. William II. Seaman read an interesting
paper before the chemical sec ton Of the A.AA.S.
on Saturday, in which he said that probably the
most important discovery in inorganic chem
istry made during the year is that Of Ludwig
Mond of London, England, who finds that il
carbonic oxide be passed over finely di-
vided nickel at q temperature below $50
centigrade in the absence Of oxygen or halogens
the nickel unites with the carbonic oxide to
form NiC4O4. a liquid boiling at 43 degrees
centigrade and solidifying at 25 degrees c.,
having specific gravity Of 1.31s5. When
heated To $50 degrees c. the substances decom-
poses into nickel and carbon monoxide, and
this specimen is spontaneously infammable if
exposed in their layers to the air. The
discovery can probably be utilized in
extracting nickel from its ores Musk

Of nitric acid on oil of amber a resinous sub

Little use was made of this substitute

obtained sweet-smelling oily body by the
action of zinc chloride on mixture Of isobutyl
alcohol and metaxylol, and later in 1859 Banr
obtained crystalline compound by the re-
action OF aluminium chloride on Toluene and
butyl chloride. &c. This compound is probably
trinitrotolGene and has many Of the properties
of musk. which ut it for use as perfume.
