THE CURE FOR DRUNKNESS.

The physicians and temperance men of Chicago are very much exited over a new rente ly discovered by Br. D,Unger,which, ir is asserte', not only ernes intemperance, hut leaves the diunkar I with nn unconquerable aversion to spiritous liquors. The me Heine is red Peruvian bark (c inchona rubra) called by druggists “quill hark,” because it conics from twigs about the size of a quill, A pound of this hark is reduced to powder and soaked in a pint of dilute l alcohol. It is then strained and evaporated down to half a pint, so that it is in fact a pound to half a pint. The drunken man is given a tea«po;mful of the medicine every three hours, and his tongue is occasional'v moistened between the doses during the first and second days. Tho third day tho dose is generally reduced to a ha'f-spoonfnl, then to a quarter spoonful, and gradually down lo fifteen, ten, live drops. The medicine is continued fora period of Irom five days, and in extreme cases to thirty days, seven days is about the average. Br. BTlnger has cured 2SOO cases of tho worst forms of intemperance by this treatment. He takes men “ debauched by liquor for years—used up, demented, loathsomesorts,” —and in ten days, as a rule, makes sober respectable men of them, with a positive aversion to liquor in any form. The editor of the Chicago Tribune, who takes a deep interest in the new remedy, gives the following account of one of the cases in which a perfect cure was lately effected One of the first citizens of Chicago a few years ago became a common drunkard. He fell into tho lowest depths. He grovelled in the dust. Uis wife, a lovely woman, got a divorce from him. At the last moment, when ready to die, tho unhappy man’s friends tried this wonderful remedy for four days ; his appetite came back, and in a week he gained tho use of his tongue, hands, and brain. The color came to his cheek, and in a fortnight he was a cured man. He has no longing for liquor. He hates the sight of it. This reformed and cured drunkard is now going to he married again to tho loving wife who had to leave him a year ago, and who with his children is delighted at the blessed change in his condition. ”
