The Vinegar Habit Hard to Cure.

“One of the most difficult habits to cure Is that of drinking vinegar,” said Dr. L. C. Aiken, at the Emery. “A good many women drink vinegar for the complexion, and In some cases It creates a craving for it even more Insatiate than that for liquor. As the habit grows the victim is no longer contented with ordinary vinegar, but demands it stronger until they drink acetic acid with very little dilution. It burns out the stomach within a very few years, and It Is seldom that a vinegar fiend lives even until middle age. It can be detected by the peculiar pallor of the countenance, but no antidote has ever been discovered by which the habit can be cured.”—Cincinnati Enquirer. .
