Dwight, ILL.,, the place where DR.. Kelley
lives, is a small town on Grand Prairie,
situated on the Chicago and Alton Railway,
and is about Is miles from Chicago. Until
the Kelley treatment began to astonish the
country, Dwight was scarcely known except
as an MISUNDERSTANDING station but now,
moved with la life never felt before, it is grow
ing into atown of pleasing aspect. The ''news
of redemption, as a prominent man termed
it, is spreading rapidly. and people are com.
ing not only from all parts of the United
States but from Europe as well. One man,
V. Jacobs, formerly an officer in the En-
glish army, is there from Sydney, Aus
| tralia. More than five years ago he was
cured by Dr.. Kelley, and returned home
one of the happiest of men. The appetite
for drink did not return, but at the end OF
five years he was compelled to submit to a
surgical operation; and, against his protest,
he was given brandy during the period of
his conyalescence. So soon as he recovered
from the direct effect of the operation,
porter was prescribed, and, after drinking
1t for some time, he found that he had
aroused the old desire. Immediately after
ward he sailed for America and is now at
Dwight, firmly convinced of his cure.
'It is such pleasure not to drink liquor
after one leaves here" he is wont to say.
have, and no one knows the effect of the
doctors cure better than l. Koch and Pas
teur are not to be compared with DR.. Kelley
as discoverers. Their works are but expert
ments when placed beside his wonderful
success"
How the Cure Is Effected.
1t is not my purpose, however, to speak
of every cure, for 1 know of book that

of alcohol and morphine, but to tell what l
saw at Dwight during sojourn of four
weeks.
The cure is effected by the use of bi-chlo-
ride of gold, taken internally every two
hours during the day, and injected into the
left arm four times day. At o'clock
morning, at noon,- O'Clock, afternoon
and at 7:3O evening, the lire of patients
with left arms bare, march slowly past the
operators table. 1t is long line number
ing 300 men few weeks ago, and is con-
stantly increasing-ever changing in indi-
yidual expression as old faces suddenly dis
appear and new ones take their places. 1t
is a line SO solemn that memory can never
lose it, composed as it is of cul-
tivated thought and natural intel
lectual quickness. Senators, Congressman,
legislators, stock exchange men, bank
step, and then waiting for a moment until
some one else receives the sharp instrument
and moves on. l well remember an old
woman's remark. Her husband, gray and
wrinkled, was in line and she stood looking
on. Presently she turned to some one and
said: ''This is a noble sight, and though it
may tell of former evil, it loudly proclainss
the fact that in each one there is a strong as
sertion of manliness-a determination to be
Free" I saw that old woman when she stood
on the railway platform, waiting for the
train that should take her home. The old
man stood beside her with tears in his eyes,
He was about to leave friends that had be-
come dear to him, and yet, through his re-
gret at parting, there shone brig ghtness-
the brightness Of physical and mental regen-
Grafton.
After the "shot" the patients roam at
will There is no institution, as people
naturally suppose, but those under treat
ment board at the hotels or in private fam
lilies. There is no apparent restraint, and
yet an army officer might admire the per-
feet discipline.
Where Charity Is Christianlike,
Charity! 1 never new the meaning of
that word until went to Dwight. L never
knew before that there was SO much in
herent good in man. 1 had heard since
hildhood-heard while restlessly sitting on
a hard bench--that all men had inherited
from Adam a woeful amount of sin. and
that they must get rid of it or suffer through
out eternity, but 1 had not felt in the ful-
ness of its sublimiity, st. Paul's tribute to
charity. | saw men, who in Congress
might with one eye give the Speakera a states
man-like look, while with the other thew
might cast demagogic glance in the direc-
tion of their constituents, give up their beds
to "tired," new arrival, and cheerfully
sleep on the floor in the hall. 1 have seen
bankers, who at home, when certain note
had fallen due, would make tottering
