They were typical cases-cocaine

smokers and whisky inebriates, Twen-
rv-nine of the cases responded, and
observation shows that they are
cured"
The cure, while violent. is declared
To- be safe, and best of all. permanent.
The treatment is simple enough,
said DIR. Baker. I'VE ascertain just how
much of the drug or alcohol the pa
lent has taken We put himto bee
and give him five grains of blue mass.
Then we administer a compound ca
thartic and a pill containing one grain
IF belladonna. one grain of anthylin
and one grain of eucalyptus.
This dose is repeated every hour
for "a hours At first we give the pa
tient one half his usual dose of what
ever drug he has been using. At the
end Of the twelfth hour fiye grains
more of blue mass is given and the
rug allotment is cut down to one
uarter the usual dose.
AT the end of "a hours we admins

fient is weak. naturally. but we find
that he has lost all desire for drugs
and alcohol. We noticed that the very
sight of the favorite drug nauseates
