To the Editor of The Trivune, ‘Waugraax, 1)L, Joo, 6.—I have perused with cousiderable Interest the corrospondence whicy has appeared in Tnn TRINUNE on this subjet, and with no slight amount of {ndignation the very sclflah and one-sided communleation of Dr. Eacle, of tho Washingtonian Hote. I have not, ‘permit mao to say, the slightest acquaintnocs with Dr- D'Unger, and koow and care nothing of his antecedents. 1 view tho Doctor’s labors :ntm-l( from a neutral standpoint, and purely in the [nterest .of the alcohulle half poisuned thousands of my countrymen who are earnestly and devoutly sceking some means of cscaps from its thraldom, aud I cannot but express my hearty godspeetd tothe man of whatever na. tionality ar profeseion who alinll, however {nt; {testinnlly, contribute au antidote, whether tmed. teal, religious, or otherwise, for tho accomplish. ment of so great a desideratum as to abate i humanity tha thirst, desire, or inclination for tha damnable, health-destroylng cup. I that man 18 a benefactor to his race who cunses two blades of grass to grow where une only has been Avcuse tomed to grow, liow muchi greater o benefacior must that man be deemed who shall revene the terribly destructive machinery of ths holllsh lhquor "mania (even thouzh ¢ may, be but In the appetitsa of one man) which ot prosent is grinding out so many mli fons of human beinga and “reducing then: slm- ply to a0 much powder and shot ready to swell the blast of the pont up magazino of ultimate and frredeemable destruction of both budy and soul. That Dr. D'Unger’s antidoto has accom- plished much gooa therals the most Incon- testable cvidento to prove, but that he should be assalled by a “profcssed temporauce re. former like Dr. Earleis bevond beilef, unless wa grant that Dr. Earle is tho factotum and rurveyur-uem-rnl of the grand panacea forall ho Itls of which buman ffesh {s helr to. Burely tho leading apirit of the Washingtonian Home wiil not arrogate to hiniself so poinpous a birth- right. T am assured by an’ eminent medical gentlemnn of this city of thirty-lve years' standing, who' haa thoroughly investigated this subject. (cinchiona), and who Das had 4 personal fnterview with Dr, D'Unuger, that the antidate 18 everything that it clains to be, and that Dr, D'Unger s a scholarly D, M., and withal s perfoct gentleman, singularly wanting o the parts which go to mwake up & quack or a *‘shoe- maker.” This Is by the way. My real object in thos publicly dealtng ° with ihis matter s (Yum!y to ralse the human- itarian _ an temperance ~ standard and to contribute my mitu to the breaking down ot vrejudice and ‘sclfish intoreste. * Right {s riglt, and wronee §s no wan's right.” Lt us hall the good for its own {ntrinsic value, and not for the sake of tho sunrce from Whenca it emanates.- Iam auxlons fur the redemptioa of the world from the pernicious, terribly de- structive llauor traflle, and morve toao deslrous that sccts, fsms, creeds, dogmaa, ribbons (whether “red, white, or blue ") should be cust tothe four wiuas of heaven rather than any effort should be thwarted or any man dis- couraged who is secking to help in 8o noble and godltko g cause a8 that of murdering the opooe tita for spirituous or formented liquors.
