KELLEY INSTITUTE, LANCASTER. WISCONSIN,

care and attention given each patient is
great factor in the success which has
been accorded the work here, every
patient is made to feel at homo and the
progress of his recovery is watched with
interest by the physician in charge.
This unusual amount of attention can
not be given or expected at an over
crowded Institute, but here it is the rule
never departed from. Another feature
that will commend itself to patients is
the excellent hotel accommodations to
be had. Boarding can be secured at
prices ranging from 50 so to S25. per
week The building in which the Insti-
tute is loest ted is a handsome three story
brick stfuc iure with mansard roof and
containing fifty rooms. The building
was designed for hotel and is the
property of the gentlemen who comprise
the Institute Company. The MOTEL is
known as the Grand Central and is one
of the finest and handsomest in the west,
ss will be seen by the excellent cut ac-
comparing this article. The hotel is
newly furnished throughout with the
latest and prettiest designs of furniture,
most of the bed rooms being fitted up
with antique oak. The rooms are all
nicely papered with the choicest designs
in wall decorative art, while the wood
work throughout the entire big building
is painted a pure white. The floors of
the rooms and the balls are covered
with tasty carpets of the latest patterns,
the bedding is of the finest and the linen
is the best, every bed is fitted up with
easy springs and soft wool mattresses.
The entire building is heated by hot air
from furnace in the basement thus
rendering all rooms and halls warm
and comfortable. The guests parlor is
a handsome room filled with choice
furniture, the walls being covered with
engrayings. sketches and paintings,
while soft warm carpet of delicate
color covers the floor. The main Office
has all the usual requirements of first
class hotel, it is q very large room in
which guests can find at all time an
abundance of the literature of the day.
daily and weekly papers, periodicals.
books and magazines. The Office is
fayorite room and in it can always be
found many Of the patients engaged in
reading or conversation, or writing
home The cheerful news Of their daily
victory over former dreaded appetite.
The room adjoining the office is one
40x35 feet in size III which are numerous
tables and scores Of easy chairs. This
room is the sanctum sanctorun Of the

here, together with an account of
life at the Lancaster Institute.

So much has been said and written
bout the wonderful BIZ Chloride of Gold
Cure for drunkenness discovered by DIR.
Lesley f. Kelley. of Dwight, Illinois,
that there seems but little can be added
in the way of testimony The 10000
redeemed men who have been freed
from the appetite for strong drink are
just that many living examples of the
efficacy and certainty of the cure eff.
fected. So great has grown the fame
of this long and anxiously looked for
remedy that Doctor Kelley finds it an
impossibillty to care for the thousands
from all parts of the United States
who are DESTROYS of treatment. Doctor
Kelley deeming it unwise to make pub
lie the secret of his wonderful discovery,
yet anxious to bestow npon humanity
the benefits resultant from his discovery
has yielded to the popular demand and
has transferred to leading people of the

thank God, forever. Every day finds
new patients coming from all parts of
the state ami northwest from every
walk in life while each day finds men
returning to their families, and their
homes, full of new hope, beginning anew
in battles of life where they had left of.
but with clear brains, and hearts filled
with thankfulncss for their emancipation
from a curse they had found themselves
unequal TO do battle with.
The Kelley Institute in this city was
established July 1st OF this year, 1891,
and is owned and operated by four of
our leading citizens, namely: Mr..
John Schreiner, a leading merchant
and capitalist and president of the State
Bank of Grant County; the Honorable
Joseph Book, cashier of the same bank;
Mr.. Joseph Nathan, prominent mer-
chant and director in the State Bank.
and DR.. A. H. Barber who for over
twenty years has been a very ruccessful
practitioner in this city. From these
names it viii be seen that the Institute
is in the hands of prominent and trusty
people, whose record for worth and
probity is an assurance that its affairs
are conducted in broad and liberal
sense. While the medical treatment at
this Institute is exactly the same rs that
at Dwight and administered with equal
care and skill, vet there are many
points in favor of Lancaster.
Among the many is the location of
the city on the line of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway, in Grant County,
in the Southwest corner of the state of
Wisconsin, making it easy of access from
all parts Of the States OF Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota and Northern Illinois,
all parts of which are travelled by many
lines of railway Another feature
, worthy of mention is that Lancaster is
one Of the prettiest county seats in the
State. it is a thriving little city with an
orderly and law abiding people all of
whom are in close sympathy with the
noble work of the Institute. The cli-
mate in this part of The state is of
marked healthfulness, while the water is

Kelley Institute in this city. The lnsti-
tute in Lancaster is the only one in the
State of Wisconsin as the exclusive
ri ght of the entire state is owned by the
gentlemen s.. The head of the institute
here. No other Kelley Institute can be
st arted in Wisconsin,, without the per-
mission of the men owning the State
right. The Institute in this city is in every
respect the counterpart of the famed
ne at Dwight. All medicines used
in the treatment are put up at Dwight
by DR.. Keelev in person, as will be see
by the letter following from DR.. Kelley:
DWIGHT, ILLINOIS july Is, 1891.
To the public:
The organization Of the Kelley Institute at
Lancaster, Wisconsin, is an outgrowth Of any
| eleven years business at Dwight Illinois, for
the treatment and cure of the Liquor and Opium
Habits, and has my hearty endorsement.
1t has been established as result Of careful
investigation, by the parties interested to the
merit of the Double Chloride of Gold Remedies,
and the responsibility and earnesthess Of the
gentlemen to be connected with the Institute.
DR.. A. H. Barber, for over twenty years sue
cessful practitioner of Lancaster, viii devote his
entire time and skill to the interests Of the
Institute, as Physician and General Manager.
Dr. Barber enters this exclusive department
Of medicine after personally visiting Dwight,
Illinois, and carefully studying my methods Of
treatment. am confident that my Remedies
will be faithfully and properly administered to
those placing themselves under his care.
With the insurance that the entire manage
ment will combine in ali their work, the skill Of
the painstaking physician and the steadfast
purpose of the humanitarian, in aiding the IN
fortunate habitues Of Liquor and Opium to find
relief for their terrible Affections. The Keeley
Institute, Of Lancaster Is commended to my
numerous friends Ia Wisconsin and discerning
public. LESLEY Z. KEELEY, NJ. D.
The hope expressed by DR.. Kelley for
the success of the Lancaster Institute
was based on a personal acquaintance
with the gentlemen IN charge and was
founded on good grounds, for success
has followed their every move until to-
day the Lancaster Institute divides with
Dwight the honors, only in lessened
degree by reason Of the brief time it

Residences.

The residences of Lancaster are gep-
orally conceded to be far in advance in
beauty. size and architectural design,
those of any of our sister towns. The
claim frequently made that Lancaster
has more fine residences than any city
of similar size in the northwest is cor
roborated not only by our own people,
but is the verdict of all outsiders as we'll.

Fire Protection j..

Our city depends for protection
against fire, on thorough equipped
volunteer hand engine company, a hook
and ladder company and two hose com
panies. They have been very successful
in fighting the flames, but our people
feel the need of better protection and
have opened negotiations looking to the
erection of water work system.

Industries.

Lancaster is not strickly speaking a
city of varied industries, though we
have quite a number of small institu-
tons, all going to make up quite a
respectable aggregate, the largest in
dustries being the Excelsior works and
a barrel factory, both of which are des-
cribed fully N another part of this
paper. In connection with these, we
have several smaller ones, giving en-
ployment to quite large number of
people.

What we Need.

Although our city IS IN the enjoyment
of solid, lasting prosperity, yet we
recognize the fact that it is only cities
whose interests are varied that have
succeeded. We need more industrial
life in Lancaster, and it is with that in
view we desire to so present the claims
of our city, that outside capitalists will
find it to their interest to pay US a visit
and see the manner of people we are,
and the inducements we have to offer.
We have plenty OF sites suitable for
manufacturing purposes which will be
granted free to any Legitimate concern,
who desire to start in business, or con-
template moving from towns IN which
they are located. Our shipping facilities
are good, and manufacturers will find us
in direct communication with all parts
Of the west and northwest, whose I'M
limited markets have proven such lu-
crative field to those now engaged in
business, whose products are in demand
in the above mentioned part Of the
country. A shoe factory, condensed
milk works, an egg case factory, fur
niture factory, plow works and similar
factories, would not only find this rich
market for their goods. but will find
our local capitalists ready to assist in
subscribing for very liberal share of
the stock. Manufacturers looking for
new locations where they can find a
ready market, low taxes, cheap homes
for their workmen, along with excellent
churches and schools, in the midst of a
most orderly and law abiding people,
are cordially asked to open communica-
tons with US. In the columns to follow
will be found interesting biographical
sketches of the enterprising and pro-
gressive business and professional men
of Lancaster. along with full and COM
plete description of our city.

Health.

Epidemics are unknown in Lancaster,
the climate being the general ''Wiscon-

climate than does southwestern Wiscon-

worldwide, so much so that it is un-
necessary to further enlarge upon its
beauties which are undisputed

WHAT Is A KELLEY INSTITUTE ?
A Kelley Institute in brief is a sani-
tarium where those who desire to free
themselves from the appetite for in
toXicating liquors or opium can come
and in three teeCks' time be cared.
These vices are treated as diseases and
are as certainly cured as a cold or fever.
On their arrival patients make q
financial settlement with the manager
and select boarding place. Full
freedom is accorded except that all are
absolutely forbidden to visit saloons
Stimulants are given in such quaint
ties and for such time as the patient
desires, but mast be obtained from the
doctor in charge of the Institute.
Medicine is administered at regular
intervals hypodermically and remedy
ia he ia lspO is also Yivap Rapulo ~ ~
in meals and hours of sleep, baths and
change of Undertaking twice a week
are insisted upon. Thus treated, the
patient soon loses the craving for drink
and opium. The stomach acts natural
", the whole body becomes invigorated
food is relished, and quiet sleep takes
the place Of restless nights Thus
freed from the effects and appetite for
stimulants, the patient is no longer
their slave. nor will he ever be unless
he willfully creates anew his appetite
for them.
