- _ JI | C Take any man who Is in the habit of looking in the bottom of his glass for “pore sociability” at intervals from noon until midnight, and for stomach comfort before he breaks his fast in the morning, and let him, after he has risen and dressed, repair to a drug store instead of to a barrooom. He has no appetite. He does not feel as though he were “ail there.” Instead of a cocktail let him ask the druggist to prepare a mixture of these ingredients and quantities, which, when mixed together, shall constitute a single dose: Chloroform, five drops. Tincture ginger, half teaspoonful. Compound tincture cardamon, two tea spoonsful. Water, one wineglassful. Swallow that slowly—take five minutes to do it. You will be surprised to find that in about five minutes the “all gone” feeling will have disappeared. A gentle, pleasant warmth Is felt In place of the gnawing sensation, and in a very little while there are decided symptoms of being hungry. A repetition of the dose inside of an hour, in case the attack of the night before was very severe, will do no barm. A cup of. black coffee twenty minutes after the first dose is an excellent thing to follow with, provided the patient is not of a particularly nervous temperament. You will find some men whose nerves become unstrung upon very slight alcoholic provocation, and such men are prone to try the similia similibus eurautur racket. The best thing # or a case of that kind is the drug store again. Hero Is the dose: Elixir celery, one drachm. Elixir cocoa, one drachm. Elixir hops, one drachm. Bromide of sodium, twenty grains. The narrator will guarantee that you will never resort to whisky again alter you have tried whichever of these doses may suit your particular case. As soon as you feel able to eat, make your breakfast of oatmeal principally for two or three days. On the day after taking the first dose invest in two Havana oranges and substitute the Juice for the pick-me-up tonic. If the stomach rejects the oranges as too sweet, throw them away and try the tonic again, but eventually return to the fruit.—Philadelphia Times.
