But the enlargement tends to go en iucrcaslng until it results in a dilation and thinoing, at some weak point, of the walls ef the heart, in which case some slight extra exertion or excitement may cause a fatal rupture. Treatment of the Opinm Eabit In the ocuree et a /ery long practlce'I have treated many cases of the opram habit accordicg|to different plans, but unsnooess- fnhy at first by limUiDgthe trtatirentto too short a time, net appreciatiog the fact that chronic remedies to cure them. Finally, a case fell into my hands which I was com- pelled to treat tbreiigh a long course en ac- count ef the lady's physical csndiden, she being worn out by the long continued use of the drug, and unable' to withi^iand any sensible revulsion. The habit had been Ir dulged in for eighteen years/ and the amount of morphine taken in twisnty four hours when the treatment began was a drachm a week, or eight grains a day. The following is the plan by which she was oar- ed in four monuhs, and a numbar of patients after «vards by the same Taking the whole amount ef morphine she had Used in the last seven days, I dissolved it in a three ounce vial containing twenty- oue teaipeon)uls of water (making three doses a day for seven days, adding five drops of tr. nn^ vomica, and one-feurth graLa ef quinine to each teaspoenfnl, and enoush ipirits of lavender to color the sol- ution. The maximum quantity of morphine was employed for the first seven days to es- tablish the patient's confidence that the process of treatment was nos adverse to her craving. Then, for twenty weeks, I went en lessening the amount ef morphine ev«ry seven days by one- twentieth, and at tue same time inciea^Ing the tincture by one drop, and the quinine a one-fourth grain at each change, until the morphine was left entirely out. In the meantime, however, I oeased to angmsnt the quinine after the ninth week, bat added ten drops ef elixir of vitriol to eaoh doce taken afterwards. The diminution of morpliine was so minute and Bradnal, and the taste being the same, the patient was unable to detect any change whatever during the four mtntha' treat- ment. For a week er two after the mor- phine had been left eat I continaed the same solution, which was clamored for whenever I proposed to dispense with Its use and when I became satisfied that the habit was then all in the mind, I announced that the had not taken a particle of mor- phine for two weeks. She was dazed, cov- ering her faoe with her hands and remained sOent for seme time. She wanted no more morphine; her health had become very mac^ improved, and her gratitude seemed unbounded. Any physician may succeed by this plan, i think, If he will prevent the patient resorting to stimulants at least I have never failed when stimulants are strict-' ly avoided.

He followed tha advice, aad succeeded far iMyoad his first antioipadons. He was welcomed at places where he was not raoalved before, aad geaerally made large sdes. THI VAI.UI or OOOD CLOTHES. This statement Is followed by one from a prosperous olcy merohaat. He writes that he entered the house of whlon he is now the manager aad senior partner as an effioe boy. He at once resolved "to work him- self up to tiie behest round," If that could be aooomplished by study, oare, industry, and the exercise ef all the ability he pos- sessed. His progress was slow at first, but he attributed this to the fact that he was young. When he beoame a man he dressed plainly, ordinarily in tweed clothes and low hat, so as to save all he could out of his salary, He made himself useful to the house and was mere than once aasured that his service was duly appreciated. Still no- tliing was said to him about taking him into the firm or giving him an Interest in the business. Becoming discouraged at his prospect of advancement, he concluded that he might as well spend more of his salary in dress and making a batter apf|earance. He accordingly appeared at his^ place of business one Monday morning in a black broadcloth suit, while a tall silk hat was on his head. He entered on bis duties as usual, and no remarks were made abcut his change of dress, bat more customers ad- dresMd h'm than was customary, and be- fore the week ended be was invited to be- come a member of tho firm, A Oarman oemmercial gentleman, tem- porarily residing in Qlasgsw, adds his testi- mony fai favor ef the tall hat. He states that merchants from London and Paris are better received in Berlin than are these from Glasgow and Ediatnrgh, and ha is incllred to think that the preference to them Is due to the tall hats they wear, as the soft hats worn by the Scotchmen present a very cheap appearance. The testimony of these three men appears to be sufficient to estab- lish the value of the tall hat In the world of trade and commerce. Its value in prt met- ing respectability and morality is declared by many persons. FBOU A MOBAL STANDFOINT, A woman states that she has for many years observed the men taken to a station by the pelioe, and that net one in 200 wears a' tall hat. Another haa noticed while travel- ling that the men who wear tall hats behave In a more dignified, respectful and refined manner than those who wear caps or low hats. The former are not addicted to the use ef profane er low language. A lady who has given much attention to the matter ef dress thinks that no covering for the head is so beoeming or tasty as the tall silk hat, and she regrets that they are so expensive and so liable to oausa headache and bald- ness. This letter calls out communicatlens from a physician and a dealer in second- hand goods. The doctor states that the tall hat is the most healthful covering for the head, and deolsures that the men who wear them very rarely have the headache. If the hat has a ventilator at the top ef it the wearer Is net likely to become bald. It causes the top ot the head to be surrounded by air, which Is the poorest conaucter ef heat, thus keeping it warm In winter and cool in summer. ' The dealer in second-hand articles ef dress states ttiat he pays more than twice as much for cast off silk hats aa he dees for felt hats that originally sold for the same price. He thinks if they were geaerally worn that dealers would pay half-price for them when they had seen six month's ser- vice. They would Im cleaned up and shap- ed so as to conform to the latest style. Fi- nally, the testimony ot a professor of sci- ence and navigation Is glvea in regard to the tall hat as a life-preserver. He says It Is mere servloeable in case of shipwreck than any buoy he has aver experimented with. It new seems evident that the stove pipe liatis tiM most peteat agent in every de- partment of progress aad reforni that we possess. Wo BOW nadoiataad why there is so mudi wealtii, refinement, calnire, and intelloctual aotivlty in London and Paris. Tiio men who live ia tiioae dtfes generally wswr Steve-pipe hats.
