As often as he wishes spirits, — brandy, whiskey, gin, <£c. — are "iven him, but mixed witb two-thirds water : all other drinks, such as beer,, wine, coffee, &c , are mixed with onethird brandy. The various viands, too, that are given him — bread, meats, Ac — are all prepared with brandy, consequently the patient is in a continual state of intoxication. This lasts about five days ; at the end of that time he asks with entreaty for some nourishment, without his request being complied with, and not until his organs absolutely abhor alcohol The cure is complete, and from that day forth the very smell of spirits produces the effect of an emetic. — Exchange. _________________
