Its Value as a Cure for the Opium Habit. A Couple of Cases Where It Has Been Used with Good Results. Two Women Who Have Long Used Mor- phine Testify to Its Value. + The specific whick has for some time past been administered by its discoverer, Dr. D’Unger, of this city, for drunkenness, and with the most re- markable and gratifying results, would seem to be destined to meet the requirements of an- other class of unfortunates, who are addicted to the habit of opium-eating. It is very well kpown that the Doctor has never put this arti- cle—cinchona rubra—before the world as a cure for the opium habit; but during his practice, in this city especially, he. has: been brought toto contact with several parties who have been its victims, and- he has met with most successfal results in treating it with’cinchona. There are at present ie TWO CASES WHICH DESERVE SPECIAL MENTION, as they ave of recent development, and one of. the parties afflicted bas achieved a sort of noto- riety that has made her name familiar to the public. A week ago last Sunday awoman who gives the-name of May Hayes, and who had lived a life not altogether after the Biblical precepts, nerhaps, since her sojourn in Chicago, attempted suicide by.jumping. into the river from the Twelith street bridge. She was fished out and taken to the Cook County Hospital. Sbe remained there ‘uitil Saturday lest. Just after her unsuccessful attempt at taking her own Ife, Dr..D’Unger, noticing by the news- paper reports that she had been aslave to the opium habit, announced in the press that he would willingly undertake oer cuce. This came to the notice of the ladies connected with the Women’s Christian ‘'cmperance Union, and they took: steps to get the girl out of the hospi- tal and into, good boarding-place, where she could receive the treatment proposed. They were successful, and. the aodministering of ve cincbona was begun at once, and with what results will be seen from the subjoined fistements: A REPORTER FOR THE TRIBUNE SAW MISS HAYES xesterday. She-said during the conversation Ubas. ensued: “T Save used opium, morphine, chloral, and luasheesh for five years; in fact, ever since I came-to Chicago. 1 have been so addicted to it that I have nearly ruined my health and endea my -existence by means of these drugs. I felt, the passion growing stronger and stronger, and found that it: requirea constantly more and more morphine to produce the: requirea effect. T-have taken nincty grains a day, and as much ‘as forty grains at a dose. £ never drank .any liquor. .. When £ was at the County |, Hospital: they. gave me thirty grains only the day before 1. left the institution, but they would not permit the cinchona to be ad- ‘ministered to me. . Saturday 1 left the. hospitat and took my first dose of cinchona, and [am now rapidly recovering. For. tbree years 1 had not eaten -& breakfast, partaking only of acap of coffee. Yesterday and to-dayI ate break- fast, and find ny avpetite becoming strong. I do nof like this medicine; it is not 2 pleasure to .take it; but I am sstisfied that it is accom- plishing for me what nothing ever did before. T alyeady bave no desire for. opium; do not want it; do.not crave. 13. whereas, heretofore, when in the Sisters’ (St. Joseph’s) Hospital 1 ‘would-use every means -to get-it, and I did get it rizht-under the. eyes-of--the Sisters. Lhave made up my mind to never: touch a par- ticle of opium:or morphine avain, and Iam cer- tain that'with my present frame of mind I can adhere to the resolution.” Miss Hayes is an intelligent. young woman, and thorouzhly understands the eflectsof mor- phine upon the system and the mind, and ap- -precates the fact that it is one of.the hardest of masters to set rid of when it has once asserted its supremacy. one ae et TS MMS, WILSON, - one of the visitors of the Women’s Christian ‘Temperance Union, and the lady who secured the> present: bome for Miss “Hayes, and vias taken 80 lively an interest in er ease,7 says she is -.confident that she is improved to an almost unprecedented de- gree for s0 short treatment.’ She would not hazard the opinion that the patient. is cured, course of the cinchuna will completely eradicate the desire for morphine, and restore the unfor- -tunate girl to her normal condition. : THE SECOND CASE is that of Mrs. Belle Preston, formerly a resi- dent of Peoria, 1il., and who from onco being a jagy of fashion and high social standing had fallen as far as opium and liquor could take her. Naturally. a good woman ‘at ‘heart, with no depraved. tastes, she has. of late been. fighting to free herself from. the habits which gained such mastery over her. For some time she was at the Cook County Hos- pital, and was there treated for the opiuar habit, und was discharged on the 5th of May as ‘re- covered.”? “She coon felt the old taste for opium and liquor reviving, but, happening to meet Dr. Fenn, physicaa at the Erring Woman's Refuge, he gave her a bottle. ot D’Unger’s rem- edy, which she began taking; ‘The good ladies of the Temperance Union and a few other par- ties have taken an interest in her case, and have helped her along. . But for their assistance there is ng telling what would bave become of her, as she was absolutely penniless. She bas had every inducement to go back to the old life of shame, but she has strnggled against returning to those temptations which haye. so nearly ruined her __ existence. Opium = and liquor combined to bring her to the lowest deptns. She told Tuk Taipune reporter yes- terday that she was rapidly improving under the cinchonatreatment. She had no desire to use the drug or liquor, and was satisfied that, were hersurroundiues improved and she could see her way clear to future maintenance, she would not fear aur return of the habit. Her continual mental anxiety. was the only bar to a complete recovery. But she would endeavor to put all thoughts of her destitute condition away from her, with the hope that all things might turn out right in the end, and devote her energies to .a complete coaquering of the Jast traces of the Dernicious babits. . . ‘This lady is emphatic in her determination to lend a better life. She has. passed through a terrible: ordeal,.but she is now, she says, com- “pletely purged atid purified, und nothiue can tempt herto the old paths. Mrs. Preston is how under the especial and charitable’ care of Dr. D’Unger at the Palmer Honse. DE. D'UNGER SAX8 that the victim of opium and its various com- pounds accustoms his nerve-~pntres to act from the peculiar stimulus this dfug imparts. Un- fortunately the nature of e¢ drug is non-ac- cumulative; that is, feedsupoh tiself, each aose preparing the way for and fitting the system to receive an additional dose. In time the nerve- centres refuse to act without, and call automati- cally for, this artificial food which they’ have been taught to expect. Cinchona, as is: well - known io all medical men of intellizence, imparts-a stimulus to the nerve-centres, but, instead of feeding upon it- self, acts as its own antidote. In other words, it is directly the opposite of opium or alcohol. Being an acknowledged tonic and anti-periodic, its use, after the nerve-cells buve been brought back to their normal condition, prevents-a re- turn to the depressed state which excites a call for artificial or unnatural stimulation. -Thia view of the nature of cinchona, aud its bearing upon cases of the kind here spoken of, will no doubt commend its future use, and make it the poney Wat has been so long sought, and which willbe 2 boon to suffering humanity.

After her arrival, Friday, when under the influence of opium, the pet rat fell out of the bosom of her dress, where shg was in the habit of carrying it, und was killed by market men. The lady says she can uot sleep till she bas another pet rat, and has started for New York to obtain one. Her father says the rat was perfectly tame and devoted to its mistress, who is rational upon all other sub- jects except this pet and morphine or opium. She says she was robbed of valuable rings while under the influence of the drug, but added:. “I cau buy more rings but will give $500 to regain amy darling rat.” _CURBENT GOSSIP. THE OWL-CRITIC.

Hornaday, the Rochester naturalist, gives the following description of his first shot at a tiger in the wilds of India: “ After tracking the beast for half 2 mile, I looked through the clump of bamboos, and sure enough there was Old Stripes in all his glory, and only thirty -yards away...The sun hap- pened to be sbining full upon him, and he was simply gorgeous to behold. He looked perfect- lyimmense. I was determined to have a shot at him, hit or miss. WhenI first sighted him he was walking across the bed of the'stream, going fromus. 1 raised my rifle and . He reached the other bank shaffed iano: ment, and then turned and paced back. Just as he got to the middle of the stream he stopped short, raised his head and looked full at us. lt was then or never. Taking a very steady, care- falaim at his left eye I. fired, and without stopping to see the effect of my shot proceeded to reload with all haste. In fact, I fully ex- pected to see the great brute come bonndin; round that clump of bamboos and upon one ot us, but I thought it might not be us he would attack, and while he would be'clawing the scalp off one my men could send a ball into his brain. expected that my men would bolt ~as.snon as they saw me getting ready to fire. I {should have done so bad I been in their place, but they stood. at my clbow like brave men, although totally: unarmed. When I had reloaded I looked azain for Mr. Stripes, and, sure enough, he was there. He was turning round and round where he stood, with bis head bent round to the left, as though there was something the matter with his left eye. I waited until bis neck was fairly presented, then fired again, aiming to hit the neck low. He instantly dropped. : I reloaded, waited a moment to see if he was going to get ‘up, then, with rifle at full-cock, and with the ticer carefally covered, we advauced slowly and re- spectfully. He was. done for, and lay there. kicking and foaming at the mouth, but soon be- came motionless, and I tried to realize that my first tiger lay déad at my feet. 1 tell you, you will never be able to fully realize the immense ‘proportions of a ‘full grown tiger until one springs upon you in the jungle, or else lies dead at your feet. Upto that time I had had terrible doubts about a tiger being able to pick up aman in his mouth and run away with him as a fox does with a guose,. but when I mess- ured the great brute {° understood bow it was done.

Nnoport Currespandence Bostan Gazette, I was sitting in that,beautiful but unfasbion- able Washington aquare pot many days ago, when I was attracted by an interesting family on a bench near me, consisting of a mother and three children. They were conversing eloquent- ly in come unfamiliar foreign tongue. There is very little English spokon in that park. The oldest of the children stood with his back to me, and seemed from ‘his size to be about 8 years of age. The‘other two wore, I should judge, 4 ang’5 yeard of age. The mother was a youngish woman, of ordinary size, and not bad- looking, nor was sbe.badly dressed. The old- est boy stood with hisiback-to me, and 1 could not help remarking her different his dress was from. the two othces. - They wore. pretty, child- ‘ish clothes, while he was dressed like a man, in a frock-voat and [erby.hat. While was wou- dering if a child of his vears had such singular taste, or whether it wae a freak of the mother’s, he turned around, aml,,,to my. astonishment, f saw that he wasa man. Tom Tnumb is a giant compared with him, His face was old-looking,— that is, he might have been 30-odd,—and he wore quite a sizable mustache., When be wanted to .sit down on the bench the woman lifted bim up, and his little legs stuod straihi out before him. Altogether, he wgs;-an unpleasant-looking creature. At first L:thought the woman was his mother, though she did uotscem old enough for that; but, to my horror, 1 found out that she was bis wife, fog the two little children valled him “papa” aud called her ‘‘mamma,” and he assumed the manner of a father toward them, thougu they , were quite as_ large as he. When they got up to gobe climbed down from the bench and strutted off by the siae of the womap, holding one of the children by thehand, while she held thé’ other. I noticed,as she turned toward me,/that she wore an. immense -broovh at her throat ivith nis portrait in it. ‘Could there be any ‘lové between such a couple, jand how could such a: father support. sucha ‘family and so well, Tur’ they were not poor by ‘any, means, to judeé by appearances.
