Some enterprising American caterer, says a Home paper, has started what he cails a sobering-up establishment,” for combating the unpleasantness that follows upon intoxication. Gentlemen —or ladies—who have been drinking a little too freely are invited to come to his “ Turkish Bath,” and he undertakes to put them through a process which enables them to recover in time for business next morning. He has, he says, seen men brought to his house so far gone that their Lgs were of no use to them, and in an hour or two these imprudent gentlemen were left perfectly sober and ready to face their family, or assume the most trying business responsibilities. It is said that the house is crowded every nighr, and the guests, after the sobering-up process, go their ways without even a headache or any unpleasant reminder they that had passed the bottle round too freely during the previous evening.
