gone, men don't tell whether they are
disguised with drink or not. They are
simply without au appetite for it. Some
thing has fallen from them. They
have a consciousness of duty. They are
no longer as they We're. They are diff
erent. The world is different. Such
are the results of the treatment here in
Lancaster. No one can be conversant
with the facts without feeling grateful
for the cure that has been discovered.
Let one but mingle with the patients in
the Institute in this city and listen TO
the hopeful words and see the ioy of the
ones who first feel that there is an
escape for them. Here are patients
who have been here for three weeks.
some of them will tell you thew came
here driveling idiots, they had been
according to their own story filled with
whisky for twenty five years. Look at
them now, their eyes are bright. their
complexion clear, voices strong. pulses
regular and nerves as steady as heroes.
They tell you they are cured. their looks
snow 1t. They feel they are as new
men filled with hope and ambition, men
among men. Some are brought here
under guard, practically insane from
drink, their bloated countenanoes attest
ing their long acquaintance with whisky.
Watch them, in three DAYS change

realize that for the first time in wears n
CLEAN of hope has dawned upon him.
In three weeks he leaves fully restored,
redeemed and happy, with the appetite

THE MEN WHO COME HERE.
Here are found men in all walks of life.
The banker, merchant. doctors, LAWYERS.
highly educated men from all parts of
the country, business men and mechan-
les. They come here victims bound

of hope for the future. A gentleman
speaking of the future of the ones who
have been cured by tho Kelley treat
ment says:
The chief ingredient in the Kelley
cure for the future is mans will power.
BY his coming here he has voluntarily
arrived ut that necessary stage where

the awful battle. He goes through the
treatment with an earnestness born of
trust and faith He knows he has been
placed on his feet in from two to three
days instead of that number of weeks,
as heretofore He knows he has, for
the first time in years. not the faintest
desire for the stuff that brought him to
Lancaster, and be kneels in supplica-

away entirely built up, and with the ex-
periences of the dark past. and the
known departure of the terrible appe-
tite, he can look all mankind squarely
in the face and know he is released

ing il | would bid all unfortunates TO
hope. Come here if you believe you
have lost all control of yourself. Go
through the mill of manly and heroic
endeavor. and if you are still man /

When one stops to consider the hold
whisky has upon man who has been a
confirmed drunkard for many years,
lost 20 all manhood and self-respect,
with the love of wife and little ones
smothered completely by the drink
habit, with all tender affections and
home ties forgotten, man whose only
aim in life is to procure that which will
satisfy the morbid craving for whisky,
then will the marvellous be seen in the
recaiming of such a man Men have
been brought here so wrecked physi-
cally that il could be plainly seen that
life was held as by a brittle thread.
Yet such men come here daily and in
three weeks find they are completely

years had kept them groveling at the
feet of the demon Of drink. IL is the
curing of such men that tells of the
magical work of the Kelley remedies.
The rolapsing of any of the ones who

their former habits of drink are so rare
as to be but a very small percentage,
and in itself is tie grandest proof that

tried for days before he could swallow
one mouthful. the stomach refusing to
receive it. One instance is cited, and
il comes under the personal knowledge
of the writer, where a man residing in
one OF the adjoining counties who had
undergone treatment deliberately de-
termned on returning TO his home,
to return to drink and entered
a saloon for that purpose, and tried
repeatedly to swallow the stuff, and
