Zone who has gone Through it," says the
only remedy is force. Force must be used.
he says, and regrets that there is not a law
in existence which can force a man into re-
tirement for certain period. NV own
personal advise to Constant Sopper" is:
THE next time he gets disguised with him
self he is to fastan his money, then apply
for a very subordinate stewards berth
on steamer-let him sign for shilI-
ing a month. Failing his obtaining
this, let him go to the docks and watch
out for any steamer flying the Blue Peter.
and ask If they have got all hands; he will
be sure to find that some one has not turned
up. He will then find. when bis mind is
thoroughly occupied by manual labor, what
an object of ridicule he has been. lie will
be glad to seek his bed of a night and enjoy
a natural slumber, such as | should imagine
from his letter he has pot enjoyed for some
years. He will find it difficult at first, but
once having maste ed it he will be as proud
as general after q victory, and become q
man."
FILL UP WITH COLD WATER.
Zone Who Has Cured Four Friends"
writes: IF Constant Sopper' will drink his
fill OF cold water whenever the craze comes
on he will surprise himself and his friends
at the rapidity Of his cure Nothing, after
all, is so quenching to the thirst as q good
draught OF water, and If the water is pure q
thorough liking for glass will soon ensue
and be as pleasant to the taste as it is
healthful to the body. Iutoxicants aud
water are the two extremes of drinks, and
a love for the former can be more readily
overcome by freely INDUCING in its very
opposite in liquor. Hardly any change
need be made 10 the dietary, except in the
matter Of highly -spiced dishes and pickles,
which should not be touched, but regular
exercise and cold bath with a rub down
prior to bed time will be essential"
BEEF TEA WITH CAYENNE PEPPER.
Pedro advises "He must make I'D his
mind to treat oil spirits, wine OF beer as so
much poison. The first few DAYS or weeks
the craving coming on let him take a cup of
good beef tea with plenty Of cayenne pepper
in IL. The tea will help to streng ;hen his
nerves, and the pepper will send glow
through his body in the same way that
alcohol would. Should the craving
come on when beef tea could
not be had readily, take the pepper in Jelly.
or even jam, Last thing at night let him
take dose Of bromide Of potassium, which
will help him to sleep, and for the first few
mornings mild dose of EPSON salts. If he
can, and will stick to this treatment for
nine to twelve mouths, he will feel 80 much
better and happier that the chances are
hundred to one he will not wish to return
to the old slavery. BIT he must remember
that as long as be lives he must never touch
intoxicating liquors again"
TAPERING OFF.
G. H. knew a man who was very fond of
whisky. He was cured by the following
simple method: "To start with he got a
gallon Of whisky and resolved that when
ever he took glassful out of the bottle he
would add q glassful of water In its place,
became weaker until he was content to do
without the beverage altogether"
