ing or loaning money between patients
is prohibited, as also is the exchanging
of the numbered bottles of internal
remedies. The use of tobacco in any
form for fifteen minutes before and fiji
teen minutes after office treatment
is forbidden, and cigarette smol-
ing and gambling is declared punisha-
bic by instant dismissal Baths nre
prescribed at least twice n week. Pro-
family and boistcrous conduct on the
streets or Mt the hotels of the village
are offenses punished by expulsion.
The patient begins his treatment with
hypodcrmic injection into his left arm
of some of the pink fluid, which con-
tains the bi-chloridc of gold. lie is then
given No. of the internal remedies,
which he is told is Il strong nerve tonic.
1t resembles the whisky in it's color and
consistency, but tastes much like uuasia
and is said also to contain bi-chloride.
The remedies arc prepared in Dwight,
where the secret of their compound is
also preserved. The numbered rem
cdies are in cight-ouncc bottles, n tea
spoonful in water every two hours be-
ing the prescription. Six days usually
eXhausts a bottle which are numbered
up to five. The entire course of treat
mcnt for alcoholism lasts from three to
four weeks, that for the opium and
morphine habit week or two longer.
The cure Is declared to be an utter
elimination of the unnatural appetite
with which the patient is afflicted The
men usually return their bottles of
whisky untasted for the first time in
three or four days after treatment has
begun.
At the hotel in White Plains, where
the Kelley patients are lodged, the
days pass somewhat mouotonously.
The men, for the most part, sit around
the piaZzas and wait for the hours to
come when they are to go up the street
to the Office for hypodermic treatment.
Poker and other other games of cards,
with stakes, however small are inter
dicted. and the patients cautioned
against all forms of excitement. IL the
new arrival for treatment is without
power to take care of himself, even
under the hope held out to him and the
liquor allowed him to taper off" with,
he is placed in charge of an attendant
VINO is himself graduate of tho in
stitutc'-onc who has been successfully
treated. These attendants, who are
never without TASKS of alcoholic
liquors in their pockets, are, it seemed
to the writer. an important part of the
remedial agencies of the place in the
examples they furnish of the recovery
from the uncomfortable appetites their
patients are still afflicted with.

ounce bottles and of some of the whisky
TASKS. All day it is unlocked and the
men have free recourse of it.
The institution at White Plains is the
New York state branch of the Kelley

lishcd five months ago by Charles Il.
Persons, who came on from Dwight and
spent five weeks trying to find u village

the pretty little town in Wcstchester
county. Since the opening of the
institute, us it is called, one hundred
and twcnty-six cases have been treated,
and forty-scven persons, including six
women, are now undergoing the course
of doctoring.
The patient is ushercd into the office
of DIR. Van den Burg. the physician in
charge, and if the newcomer is in o con-
dition to listen and talk intelligently he
Is asked concerning both his general
health and his incbricty. If the sub
jcct is an habitual drunkard, but is
afflicted with no organic disease, the
hope is held out to him that in three
weeks he will be in the condition of q
person who has never had any appetite
for alcoholic stimulants, and that if he
ever drinks intoXicants after that he
will do SO from no craving for the liquor,
but because he deliberately or careless
ly abandons himself to the possibility
of reacquiring the appetite. To the
periodical drinlscr, however, not so

that the craving for intoXicants will be
eradicatcd by the double chloride of
gold, but that the pcriodicity may return
ut it's accustomed time. There will be
the usual premonitory symptoms. and
if not checked Il spree will certainly
follow. He is informed, however, that
he will be provided with Il Preserve for
emergency" medicine when he leaves
the institute, to be taken when he is
threatened with IL recurrence of his in
ability to govern his appetite. The
ncwly-arrivcd patient ut the in
stitute is told that he is to be
cured without the cXcrtion of any will
power on his part. lie is to have all the
alcoholic liquor he wants to drink. He
is given n four-ounce bottle of good
bourbon whisliy-or if his taste Graves
it, some other liquor-and told that the
supply will be rcplcnishcd whenever he
applies at the institute. The only re-
striction is that he shall not drink any
other liquor than what is thus obtained.
With morphine and opium victims the
same rule is followed in allowing them
all of the drug they crave. A printed
slip of the rules of the institute is given
to every newcomer. 1t states that no
patient is accepted for less than u three
weeks course of treatment. Borrow
