The request for info about the belladonna cure spurs me to pursue a long-
standing curiosity:  are there any publications about Charles B. Towns?
It appears he was fairly influential in his relationships with Bill Wilson,
but all I have ever found is that he was an entrepreneur who moved about
in different endeavors, among which was Towns Hospital.  The isomorphism
with latter-day entrepreneurialism in alcoholism treatment is striking!
I'd appreciate any leads.  Paul Roman
