people of the east end OF London,
where drunkenness. poverty ana destl-
tuition are rife. Inebriety among wom-

their reclamation has been her chief
solicitude.
After careful study she became con-
vlnced that habitual drunkenness Is
a disease and should be treated as
such. She saw that not only was the
moral nature of the individual i'm
paired, but the intellect was weakened.
Notwithstanding ali this, Lady Son.
erset discovered many who sincerely
endeavored TO break the habit of drink
ing, but lacked the will power. She
tells of meeting man who once had
been prosperous tradesman, but
whose love for liquor had brought him
TO the gutter. She had induced him
previously to sign pledge to abstain
from strong drink for certain period,
but the poor fellow had kept it but
short time.
why did you break your promises"
Ihe gently asked. II did not want to
break it, he replied. Il tried hard
to live up to it. but the terrible cray.
ing for liquor came upon me and
could not resist it," And this terrible
craving she found was the first OBJ
stacle to be overcome before good re-
sults could be hoped for in the condi-
tion Of the iuebri. ,e.
Nhi.e on her last visit TO this coun-
try her attention WAS called to the

penheimer maintained that he would
destroy the craving which patients
might have for stmuluuts, that he
would restore them to health and that
they would remain cured
at would have been difficult to find
more disheartening cases than those

histories, and | think that when / en-
tered the patients waiting room

ards"
The Oppenheimer Treatment is now
firmly established in England and is
accomplishing great good, Lady Henry
Somerset having become director of
charities for the kingdom Of Great
Britain. To any one interested in the
subject full information concerning the
ODpenhcimer Treatment will be sent
