The regular meetings OF the W. Q.

each mon tn, in the chapel OF the Cong
regatiOnal church. at 3 O'clOck. p. m.
We can testify to the cure of two
fallen men by t1s following:
Dr. Keeley's cure for drunkenness.
Among the passengers on the City Of /
Paris is DR.. Leslie Kelley, q mani
whose fame is rapidly spreading across
the continent. DR.. Kelley has treated |
nine thousand patients Tor drunken /
ness or the opium habit, and now has !
from three hundred TO four hundred |
patients in constant attendance at his !
institute at Dwight, Illinois. Branch
institutes have also been located in
several leading cities of the country.
DR. Kelley regards the social feature OF
life as the principal cause of the drink
ing habit. Young men begin to drink
as a part of social fellowship. The
modern club is the most unfortunate
com animation for the production of
alcoholic victims now in existence.
/ There are also numerous other causes,
such as disease, weakness, heat and
cold, JOY and sorrow. The result of
( the alcohol habit is disease. Alcohol
+ is a poison: nature struggles against
+ the effects of this poison and the result
/ is disorder disease. This disease locates
itself i'm the nerve centeTs. in the BRAIN
. the g2nglia, the spinal cord. The
. attack is upon the nerve tissue. In the
last analysis, upon the nerve cell If
the cell Is not destroyed, variation is
produced. New cells show a variation
in accordance with the new alcoholic
. environment. Here the theory is at
one with that Of natural selection in
the Dauwiniau development theory.
The nerve tissues or cells having
adapted themselves to am alcoholic
environment that stimulant becomes q
physical necessity, food perhaps not
as ABSOLUTELY so, but ON the same priu-
ciples that vegetation is necessary TO "a
haruiyorOus animal, or flesh to a car
uivorous one. Hence the appetite fol
strong drink becomes like any other
appetite. 1t is the systems demand
FOR % needed supply ut the nerve
ceuters. TO withhold this supply
causes great suffering. lit is the
druuEard's agony. From the very
center OF his physical being comes aI
awful demand for food. 1t has IN il
2 all the rage of hunger and herCGUess OF
appetite. In the meantime he has
largely lost VIII control, seIf-control
2 He is indeed a helpless. wretched
} victim of his habit. To withhold from
, him the stimulant is but little better
than cruel torment.
But now the remedy. This OF
: course must strike the disease. The
disease is a variation OF the nerve
q tissue from a condition of nature. IL
Obliterate the disease the tissue mus
be restored to the natural condition
-AtaVism must be induced. The res
c tOratiOn is effected just as it is II
I other cases of disease, by the use OF III
aHtidote. This antidote is bi-chIOrid,
of gold. Quiuine is a specific fo
| malaria. mercury for syphilitic disease
a and bi-chlOride of gold is the sPeCid,
for alcoholic poison. 1t routs it
Teverses the variation, makes tin,
D nerve tissue every whit whole. Til,
p antidOte is introduced into the system
g both 10y injection and by the usua
2 method of internal application. FOU
times a day the 500 or more patient

prescribed hours. The use OF liquor
is not forbidden, and there is no espiOU
=, age or restriction of any kind, eNcep
that every patient is required to behav
e himself. Men who show a disposition
r. to do disreputable things are sen
4 away. DT. Kelley has spent most o
