MORPHINE HABIT CURED.

The following communication recently appeared in the New Haven Leader: Dear Sir:-I noticed not long ago in your paper the account given of River side Institute, Derby, Conn.,; it's beauti- ful situation, surroundings, etc., and the treatment afforded there for the victims of morphine, alcohol, etc. The writer, who was then under treatment for the former disease, and recently recovered, can say that all your correspondent wrote in regard both to the place and
 methods of treatment are fully Justified. The remedies known as the Bellinger German remedies are used and will, be- Iieve, do as much as remedies can for the deliverance of those held captives in that most helpless, hopeless bondage, result ing from the continued use of drug poi sons. Their treatment for drink appears, so far as the writer knows. successful al- so to degree not less than other reme- dies longer. known. 1 am aware that many people look upon the victim of morphine as moral leper and speak of his foolish sshabit.n If habit were ever the proper name for it, it soon becomes a terrible disease, sure to work out sooner or later, not only it's deplorable work on body, mind and soul, but lead to a fatal termination. The effects of the drug especially on the nervous system is to make it an utter wreck, and it is so peculiar in it's manner of working there is little to compare it with. It is hardly proper so soon after treatment to say much in detail infegard to the workings

Whether patients are permanently restor- ed will, believe, depend as much on the patient as on the remedy. He will, like other men, be likely to have sometimes an ache or pain or perhaps a sleepless nights, but this old relief, which might do them no harm, would be a fearful danger to him. What IS a sIeepless night or two or little weariness to one who has been set free from this bondage. To be safe he cannot daily with it. After passing from the treatment sleep, so long an uncertain quantity, will return and only a drug victim knows what this means; appetite and strength will return, etc., but let him never think he can play with fire. very little provocation would no doubt make him in a little time as bad oil as before.

THE NEW COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
 ORGANIZED TO PROMOTE THE BUSI-
 NESS INTERESTS OF THE HATING CITY.
 The following interesting article from The Weekly Record of New Haven, con- corning a former Newtowner, Dr W. C.. Vile, will be read with great interest by his friends in this section. Dr Vile oc- cupies position as leader in the medi- cal and business circles of Danbury.
 Danbury has just passed through one of the worst periods of business depres- sion the city has ever experienced, and it has stood the ordeal well. There have been no failures of any magnitude during the entire period, are far from being des- pendent, the enterprising citizens are looking on the bright side and are ready to push ahead with renewed vigor.
 Danbury has one disadvantage ill her dependence on one main industry. Hat ting is the barometer which gauges the activity or depression in business all through the city, and the general dull times all over the country, coupled with special depression in the hating business and local lockout, combined to strike an extremely hard blow to Danbury.
 But Danbury came out on top, as she always does, and circumstances are all favorable for an early return of good times as soon as the outside causes which
