ills Cheap and Should Become More
Popular.

A new and remarkably successful
treatment of dipsomania is announced by
medical paper in Paris. The patient
who had been cured was apparently a
hopeless case. His doctor prescribed a
drug to be taken i'll minute doses to be-
gin with, saying:
cit is violent poison and can be alb
sorbed only gradually. In time the sys-
TEN becomes Injured to it. The drug
must be mixed with your wine or spirits
at the rate of one drop the first day, two
the second, and so on, until your system
is able to assimilate whole glass of it.
The drug will discolor your wine.
The dipsomaniac dutifully did as he
was told, increasing the dose very grad
ually. He observed also that he became
accustomed to drinking less and less
wine as he increased the proportion OF
the drug. At last he drank with pleas
ure a glass full of the latter with only a
dash of wine in it. He now feels no
craving for wine or spirits. He went to
thank his doctor and said: Now, doc
tor, tell me what that marvellous drug is
which has made another man OF me.

Few Japanese parents hold property

the claims of loyalty and filial piety
