The news that a ■•sobering-up” station is to be established at the American World's Fair next year has attracted world-wide attention. The device, which has been tested in hospitals, is really nothing new. It resembles an ordinary respirator, from which rubber tubes lead to cylinders containing the sobering mixture.
