A man came to me a few weeks ago to be treated for dipsomania. He had been drinking very hard for years; but said he would like to stop, and wanted to know if I thought I could cure him. I told him I had no reason to doubt it. He asked me if he had better stop by degrees. He thought he could not endure it, to stop at once, he had such pains in his stomach, was so weak, and trembled so when walking.
I told him that if I commenced to treat him I could make no compromise whatever. He must give up the whiskey at once, and I would see that he got along all right. In a few days he came to me and said, "l am a new man, and nothing could induce me to drink again."
