THE NEW CURE FOR 1NEBR1ETY.

There is no longer any doubt Of the
efficacy of the Keely cure for drunk.
enness. A remarkable percentage Of
the patients-in fact, nearly all the
cases treated-are cured permanently
of the drink habit by DR.. Keely's
treatment at bis institution, Dwight,
Ill. Thousands testify to having been
freed, not only from the thralldom of
the appetite for alcoholic drink, but
from the opium and morphine habit.
The principal feature in DIR. Keely's
treatment is the administration Of bi.
chloride Of gold by hypOdermic injec.
ton. Mr.. II. w. Lane, prominent
resident and business man of Russell,
Warren county, Pa, who has been at
Dwight and taken the treatment,
writes an interesting letter to the
Warren Ledger. The following. gath.
cred from this letter, may be of use to
some who are struggling in the coils
of an awful appetite:
Mr.. Lane, having read letter from
Col. Mines, a prominent newspaper
man of New York, telling how he had
been cured by the treatment, wrote in
June last to F. H. Garfield, the Erie
passenger agent at jamestown, N. Y,
inquiring as to railroad rates. Mr..
Garfield sent this earnest reply: II
sm making special rates to people
going to Dwight; don't let anything
stop your going, and you will always
bless the day you went" Mr.. Lane
went to Dwight on the 9Th of July.
He writes -
The regular course of treatment
lasts three weeks, except in ex,raordi.
nary cases, when another week is
added. stayed four weeks. although
dismissed as cured at the end of three.
My advice would be to anyone who
could possibly afford it to stay the
fourth week, as it will give him entire
confidence in himself and 10 the treat
ment, which be may lack at the end
of the third.
The cure is bi chloride Of gold, but
Just how il is administered is a secret
known only to DR.. Keely and the iui.
tiated. You take a medicine inter.
nally every two hours while awake,
and receive four hypodermic injections
daily at the office, but no patient
knows whether the bi chloride of gold
is in one or the other.
While taking the treatment the pa.
tieut is given liquor as long as be de
sires it, which is hot usually more thar
four days, although l have known ex'
traordinary cases where the desire re-
mained for ten days, but such cases
are the exception, not the rule. All
that is required Of the patient is tc
report at the Office four times a day
for the injection, and to behave at al
times as a gentleman. The only pun
ishment for disobedience is dismissal
from the institute. This may seem to
you a small thing, but l assure you i,
is what none would willingly undergo
after having been there three days
no matter how much against his will
he came there. l am in receipt of 6
letter from Warren gentleman now
at the institute, who says: IL have
been here three days. and there is moi
money enough in Warren to induce
me to leave until am told can 60.
The town of Dwight is Oh the Chica

This includes the 600 to 800 patients
at the Keely Institute. The people
there are very social and have faith il

the town locked night or day. Society
is purely democratic. A rich man ant

all are treated exactly alike"
DR.. Keely is assisted by a corps o
able physicians. Among bis assistant
is DR.. j. E. Blaine, formerly of Tio
nesta, Pa, and more recently from
Chicago, where he gave up a $4,000
practice to accept a position on the
staff of DIR. Leslie E. Keely.
Mr.. Lane says the cures Of the
liquor, opium aud tobacco habits al
the institute are permanent. He
writes: "Of 1862 patients since April
