INTEMPERANCE....It appears by an article in the New-Orleans Mercantile Advertiser of the 5th ult. that a gentleman of that city is now successfully engaged in restoring "to society and to their friends, men and women who were sinking under the pernicious consequences of excessive drinking." "Mr. Loiseau has radically cured five white adults, four colored, and fifteen slaves. Among the number thus operated upon were one or two persons whom drinking had made mad and several presented the most shocking appearances in bloated limbs. Mr. Loiseau has now thirteen patients under his hands; a part of whom it will take three weeks to cure, whilst others may be discharged in ten days. The wages of a physician so valuable, who not only restores the body to all its wonted functions, but also reclaims the noble faculties of the mind--the wages of Mr. Loiseau are graduated according to the circumstances of those who employ him."
