Vegetable Diet for Drunkenness.

Charles Napier, an Englishman of good standing in science, has been testing the theory that alcoholic drink is compatible with animal food, but not with farinaceous. He announces, as the practical result of many experiments, that a vegetable diet is a remarkable help to the cure of drunkenness. He mentions the case of an old man, whose constitution had been shattered by repeated attacks of delirium tremens, and who was cured of his appetite for liquor in seven months by eschewing meat.
