The Treatment Of Drunkenness.

The discussion OF what Is known as the
KELLEY method OF treating dipsomania. or
the insane craving for alcoholic stimulation.
has brought out great number OF very re-
mnrkable confessions from the victims OF
that disease. An association OF those who
have been patients Of DR.. KELLEY at
Dwight. in Illinois. has been formed and in
their Joy over their complete cure. as they
regard it, they sacrifice to duty and graft
tude u natural desire to avoid tho public OK
posure Of their past habits. They make a
clean breast Of their sufferings from the
mania. telling the story OF their experiences
with extraordinary particularly and frank
ness.
Tho very general II not almost uniform
scientific doubt as to tho complete efficacy
OF the treatment by tho bichloride OF gold
has served to stimulate their zeal in its de-
fence. They would oppose to thcorr tho
actual results achieved In their own cases,
and there is no question rs to the honesty
OF their belief and the unselflshncss OF their
motives. Feeling that their own cure is
permanent and absolute. they wish to cole
brate it for tho benefit OF all mankind and
for the glory OF the institution at which 1t
was secured.
One OF the most interesting OF thes @
many confessions is published in the North
American Reuiew for October rs q reply to
scientific doubters who explained their rca-
sons for questioning tho fact OF the cure a
few months ago. The author Is Mr.. JOHN
FLAyEL MINES, who was originally q clcr-
gyman. and who has dono writing under
the pen name OF FELIX OLDBoY." He
says very frankly that for twenty years he
was victim OF drink. being ono OF tho
periodical drunkards." as they arc called.
That is. ho would go on for months entirely
sober and without any desire for alcohol,
and then suddenly and mystcriously. to
use his words. "the fever for drink
would break loose and run riot In
my veins. and / knew then that it
must have its course" II was not matter
OF weakness Of will with him. but his yield
Ing to the appetite was simply surrender to
rcsistlcss power. To overcome the
mania he tried scclusion in an ASYLUM or
his own home. but all to no avail. In other
words. le was wretchcd victim Of dipso-
mania. and his career was well nigh ruined
In consequence. Finally no tried the
KELLEY treatment aud was completely and
permanently cured. according to his own
belief and his experience up to this time.
In the institution at Dwight he found a
distinguished company. My comrades"
he says. were lawyers. physicians. editors.
