How Habitual Drunkard's are death with in Sweden.
It is not generally known, say 3 the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, that a habitual drunkard in Norway and Sweden renders himself liable to nn-priß-nment for his love of strong drink, and that during his incarceration he is required to submit to a plan of treatment for the cure of his failing which is said to produce marvellous results. Tbis plan consists in making the delinquent subsist entirely on bread and wine. The bread is Bteeped in a bowl of wine for an hour or more before the meal is served. The first day the habitual toper takes his food in this shape without repugnance ; the second day he finds it less agreeable to his polate ; finally he positively loathes the sight of it. Expsrience shows that a period of from eigot to ten days of this regime is generally more than sufficient to make a man evince the greatest aversion from anything in the shape of wine, and many men after thenincarceration become total abstainers. This system would be a long time in curing some local drunkards.
