A CURE FOR DRUNKENESS.

Dr R. D. Unger, of Minnesotta writes ;o the New York Sun" In times past /ou have published numerous articles on

the cure of drunkness; but none of them, so far as I have been able to discover, have resulted in relieving the victim they were intended to benefit. With your permission, I will now give to the world, through the Sun, a sure and speedy cure —a cure that has been tried frequently, and always successfully. Let the inebriate—it matters not whether lie is just eetting off, beginning it, oris on the spree —begin by taking every two hours one dralim (tcaspoonfulj of tincture cinchona (Perunian bark.) He can increase the dose to six drachms (teaspoonfuls) without any danger, and in that proportion four to ten times a day. It will not destroy his appetite for food. In

the course of a few days the anti-periodic properties begin to tell, and he loses not only all taste for the tincture, but also everything in the way of alcohol. Recently in this city a well-known gentleman—who has in times past been on his 800 dols. and 1000 dols. sprees, tried this remedy, telling the various druggists where lie drank it that he was fighting, and would conquer the greatest demon on earth, but they could hardly believe him. Yet ho conquered, and the appetite for drink vanished. never nervous, never lost his appetite or sleep during the siege, and out came of the ordeal in perfect j health. During the time the fever lasted I gave him two doses of simple medicine fpr his general health, but the tincture did

tlio business. ' This caso can be verified by the proprietors of seven of our drug stores, So well satisfied am I of the treatment, that I will guarantee a cure in all cases, using this remedy alone." 1
