ENDEAVOR TO SAVE HABITUAL DRUNKARD
New Cure Brought Over From England Meets With Success.
BIG PER CENT CURED
Very Pew of 200 Persons Treated in New York , Relapse.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27. A new cure for drunkenness and the morphine habit is being introduced Into this coGutry by prominent New York men and women. It 1b a British discovery which has fifteen years of success behind it In England. It has been brought acroas the water by the Norrayl Temperance Association and already has shown successful results In New York. The association, which is chiefly philanthropic, has for its president Miss Sara Graham Mulhall, and for Its vice president Mrs. Philip M. Iydlg. The Rev. Percy Stickney Grant is honorary secretary, and George Chase is treasurer. Back of the movement are a number of men ad women well known In society. In Great Britain the history of the Normyl remedy shows that it has cured 90 per cent of the drunkards who have taken It and under condi
tions said to be worse than any existing in this country. Last January the Normyl started on its curative career here and 200 cases have been treated In New York city. Fewer than 10 per cent of those treated have relapsed Into their fonrhr habits. Founds Hospital. The Rev. Percy Stickney Grant became Interested in the British cure through the efforts of B. Chapman, the royal chaplain, on his visit to this country in spring. Then it was brought to the notice of Miss Sara Graham Mulhall, who investigated it while In England and before returning tto America concluded arrangements for the right to "use the remedy in the United States. She founded the American asylum. Mrs. Phillip Lydig wrote many letters and Interested many persons in aid of the movement. Not long ago ill health forced her to give up some of the active work she was doing. Others in society have offered aid In individual acses needing help. Offices have been opened in New York and branch societies have been organized by the Normyl Temperance
Association In three other cities. The purpose of the organization is especially to reach the man who wants to keep sober, but who has not sufficient money to buy a remedy that will help him. To use the society's own words, its aim "is to help the poor man and woman up again who having lost his or her position through intemperance finds the door to making a living closed." Miss Mulhall says: As soon as I found that the Norms breufbt be to discouraged men and women and helped to restore them to the ranks of good dtlaens when I found this by my own observation to be true 4 entered upon the spread of the use of Normyl as my life work. I do ray part In carrying on the reform tn memory of my brother who died recently, and I consider It a genuine prfrllege to be able to do whatever I can by personal labor to plant the Normyl In American soil." Miss Mulhall Balled for England on the last trip of the Tmeprator to confer with officers of the parent society. Curm Not Miraculous. The cure does not pretend to be miraculous, say those behind it. It demands of a drunkard first that he should wish to be cured. If the patient promises that he will see to it that
not a dTop of alcoholic liquor passes his lips after he has started with the remedy the sponsors believe that in three days from the time the patient begins the cure he will be a free man if he conscientiously follows directions. For each of twenty-four days a tiny bottle of medicine is provided which is to be diluted in a glass of water. For every waking hour the patient is required to swallow ateaspoonful of this mixture. At the end of each day whatever is left of that day's medicine is to be thrown away and a new bottle started. A Boston clergyman who has used the remedy in many cases of alcoholism after reporting that they all came out cured Bald that "the Normyl is the biggest thing since Jenner."

"Females." Our woman words have all experienced vicissitudes of fortune. "Female," like the rest, has had Its day. Chaucer introduced It under the guise of "femelle" and Shakespeare used it a few times instead ef "woman." But it was the early novelists who clethed it with respectability by making all their women "females." So exceedingly respectable bad it become in the time of Dr. Johnson that Fanny Burney called the princess royal "the second female in the kingdom." Even so late as the publication of Tennyson's "Princess" Mrs. Browning was able to write with perfect propriety that the poem dealt vith "a university attended by females." Then decadence set In till now no shred of respectability is left to it. London Standard.
