A.B.
drove her father, who was in good circumstances, having a
large business, to madness by her inebriety. Indeed, he
tried to commit suicide by hanging himself, but, oddly
enough, it was A.B. who cut him down, and he was sent to an
asylum. A.B. had fallen very low since her mother's death;
but I do not give these details. All the members of her
family drank, except, strange to say, the father, who at the
date of my visit was in the asylum. A.B. had been in the
Home some time, and was giving every satisfaction. It was
hoped that she will be quite cured.
_C.D._ Aged thirty. C.D.'s father, a farmer, was a moderate
drinker, her mother was a temperance woman. Her parents
discovered her craving for drink about ten years ago. She
was unable to keep any situation on account of this failing.
Four years ago C.D. was sent to an Inebriate Home for twelve
months, but no cure was effected. Afterwards she
disappeared, having been dismissed from her place, and was
found again for the mother by the Salvation Army.
