I iqt mediately adopted a hydropathic method of cure, which I recommend to all smokers and chewers. I had a deep well of very cool water, and whenever the evil appetite craved indulgence, I reverted imme dhttely to fresh-drawn water.. Of this I drttnic what I desired, and then continued to :hold water_ in my mouth, throwing out and taking in successive mouth fuls, until the craving ceased. ; By a faithful- adher ence lo this Practice -for about a month, /teas cur ; and from that time to this have been as free from any appetite for tobacco as a 'nursing infiutt.
