telegraphed all over the continent that
DR.. Talmage had made the Kelley cure
the subject of his Wednesday evening
talk in the Brooklyn tabernacle.
The great preacher knew what he was
about. After seeing numerous victims
of the liquor and opium habits almost
snatched from their graves and recalled
to life, he felt that he could render a
priceless service 10 his fellowmen in call
inc atte 1tion to this new triumph of sci.
ence.
Many months ago Editor Medill, Of
the Chicago Tribune, took DR.. Talmage's
view of the matter. He saw men more
dead than alive 60 to DR.. Leslie E. Kee'
ley's Institute at Dwight, ILL.,, and return
in three weeks restored to health, and as
vigorous mentally and physically as they
were in the days of their youth. The
veteran editor has big heart. he re-
solved to try an experiment. Going to
work quietly he took six men who were
we'll known in Chicago as hopeless
wrecks, completely ruined by liquor and
opium. The men were sent to Dwight,
and Medill footed the bill. In lese than
a mouth six robust citizens returned to
the city and settled down to active work.
They were clear. r.headed, bright.eyed,
rosy checked, and able to do any amount
of work without fatige or nervous de-
preston.
After this experiment the Tribune edi-
torially endorsed the Keely cure. The
New York Sun then spoke q good word
for it, and other great newspapers fol-
lowed on the same line. 1t struck these
liberal minded journalist that the Lew
remedy promised 30 much for the good of
mankind that it was their duty to make
it's merits known, without making it 8
matter of business in the advertising line.
Of course there are many busy people
who know little or nothing abou. DR..
Kelley and his institute, and they will
naturally desire further information.
II is wonderful story and it cannot
fail to interest every man whose heart is
in the right place. For more than
twenty years DR.. Kelley has been exper-
imenting with the bichloride of gold. It
has long been known as powerful rem
edy for all forms of nervous diseases, but
it was reserved for DR.. Keely to- develop
and make known the full measure of its
usefulness. The central institute at
Dwight now has over one thousand pa
tients, and the branch institutes recently
established in other States have rapidly
increasing patronage.
It mas been estimated that not more
than per cent. of the patients relapse,
and this is probably too large an esti-
mate. The history of two or three typi-
cal cases will give very fair idea of the
treatment and its results. A man who
has been the slave of liquor or opium for
years goes to one Of the institute. With
his nerves completely shattered. Bichlo.
ride of gold is hypodermically admins
tered four times day, with nerve
tonic. When the patient feels that he
absolutely needs, liquor he is given a
small dose at the institute, bat in three
days time even the hardest drinker vol.
UNFAIRLY refuses to touch the stimulant.
In few days the patient feels that it
would be impossible to swallow a drop of
spirituous or malt liquor. he RECEIVERS
his natural appetite, sleeps naturally,
forgets that be has any nerves, and feels
that he is in the best sense of the phrase
a new maj.
1t makes 10 difference whether the
man suffers from the liquor, opium or
tobacco habit-the bichlorido of gold
straightens him out aud causes him to
voluntarily abandon every poison and
stimulant that be has heen taking.
At Dwight msy be found an assem-.
blage of the brightest men in the coun.
statesmen, capitalists and business
men, So we'll satisfied are the patients
that they have organized q "Bichloride
of Gold Club" with 1000 members.
The club has its regular meetings and is
making known and populariziug the cure
at its own expense.
Will this wonderful remedy cure every
case? No, and its friends do not make
such an extravagant claim. Sometimes

When man gets 10 that fix he is hardly
responsible. But the majority-fully 95
per cent-feel as they did in the bright
aud hopeful days of their youth. They
suddenly realize that life is worth living
and their will power restored to its nor

the remainder Of their lives.
Occasionally an attack is made upon
Keeley and his methods. Some pbysi-
clans say that it is his duty to give his
secret tn tie medical profession, Others
deny its virtues. and another class sim

marvellous cures are impossible. Then {
few temperance people take the grount
that nothing but the power of The gospe
