The news that a "sobering-up station" is to be established at the American World's Fair next year has attracted world-wide attention- The device, which has been tested in hospitals, is really nothing new. It resembles an ordinary respirator, from which rubber tubes lead to cylinders containing the sobering: mixture. This is 90 per cent, air and 10 per cent, carbon dioxide. The "patient" is persuaded to breathe deeply and the mixture oxidises or bums up the alcofeol that has been consumed. It is said that the worst case is completely sobered within an hour.
