we are assured by the voluntary affidavits of the cured Every time the hypodermic syringe syr-inge opeiates it reduces the product n of liquor and the operation of the syringe for three weeks makes a temperance advocate of 1 veritable soak Anybody with a mathematical turn of mind will readily figure it out that the duration of the drink habit in this world is limited to the time it will require to
