Remedy.
Testimony of a Prominent
Milwaukee Lawyer to It's
Efficacy.

Is drunkenness durable? That is the
question about which wordy war is
being waged in the pages of leading
periodicals. Great physicians all over
the country are giving their attention
to the consideration of the prob lem.
There was time when a man who ha-
bitually put an enemy into his mouth to
steal away his senses was considered
wiifully depraved; but now alcoholism
is recognized as a disease, and one of
the most prevalent and horrible dis
orders flesh is heir to.
drunkenness can be cured" said no
less a parsonage than DIR. Albert Kitto
yesterday as he sat watching the rain
drops spatter against the windows of
his suite OF offices in the GLOBE build
ing. DR.. Kitto is so we'll known
throughout the Northwest by reason of
his long practice at Racine, his notable
surgical operations for the cure of insan-
lty and of late his marvellous success in
the treatment of dipSomaniacS that his
name alone carries weight.
1T can be cured in any stage from
moderate drinking to delirium tremens."
This sounded interesting. From an
ordinary doctor it might have seemed
mere talk, but DR.. Kitto'S training at
Rush Medical college and at Middlesex
hospital, in London, made that imposSi-
bic, and, aided by Notwithstanding
reportorial questions, the whole story of
the cure was drawn from the physician.
DIR. Kitto has cure for dipsomania.
His remedy removes the desire for al
cOholic stimulants, and removes the
evil effects of drinking. Four injec-
tons, hypodermically introduced under
the Skin every day for three weeks, will
effect permanent cure-a cure SO COM
plete that the smell and taste of liquor
become repulSive to the patient. 1t
makes no difference whether the dis
ease be inherited or acquired, the cure
is effected; and, so potent is the rem
edy, that one injection of 1t will in FIVE
minutes sober man who is as drunk as
lord or boiled owl, or anything else
profoundly inebriated. During the
treatment the patient is allowed liquor
to drink until he ceases to care for it.
1t is provided by the doctor, and is SIM
ply pure whisky, neither drugged nor
adulterated.
DR.. Keely's bi-chloride of gold treat
ment has obtained worldwide reputa-
ton, and through some mistake DIR.
Kitto'S remedy has been confounded
with the Dwight treatment. DR.. Kitto
does net use bi-chloride of gold. What
he does use iS-well, nobody but him.
self knows anything about it, further
than it is preparation of petroleum.
In healthy person it creates intense
nervousness. In body saturated with
alcohol it acts as all antidote to the free
alcohol in the system, and builds up the
nerves till nature has time to effect
cure.
land can DR.. Kitto really cure drunk
enness?" was asked of H. w. Dunlap,
the well-knOwn Milwaukee lawyer.
Indeed, he can," was the reply. 81
was heavy drinker for fifteen or
twenty years, and on my way to try DR..
Keely's treatment. stopped at Racine
and-well, DR.. KittO cured me in tweu-
ty-three days so that. although have
handled liquor and smelled it, 1 have
felt absolutely no desire to taste it
since"
Mr.. Dunlap is so enthusiastic on the
subject that he has urged DR.. Kitto to
establish an institute in st. Paul for the
cure of alcoholism, and proposes him
self to act as agent. He cites a num-
Der of certified cures Dr.. Kitto has ac-
complished, not only of alcoholism, but
of the opium and cigarette habits. Mr..
Dunlap's reputation is so firmly estab-
liShed as an able and conscientious law
yer, and his instances so we'll vouched
for, that there can be no room for doubt
that the Kitto treatment is an absolute
and practically infallible cure. 1t is to
be hoped that DR.. Kitto will be induced
to found an institute in st. Paul for the
cure Of hitherto incurable alcoholism.
