1 must say a word as to the ef--

used it IN my family for Bronchitis,
the result Of Colds, with most ex-
cellent success. Ihave takenit my
self for Throat Troubles, and have
derived good results therefrom. I
therefore recommend it to my neigh
bors as an excellent remedy in such
cases. James T. Durette, Earlys-

ed toward the building of an addition
to the asylum, but after consulting with
the State Board OF Control they did not
approve of the plan but recommended
that our building be heated with the
hot water system, and as cur old fur
naces were worn out and would soon
have to be replaced, after thorough in
Yestigation Of the reliability Of the hot
water system in doing Its work. we con-
tracted with the Windsor Heating Com

The Kelley Cure.


AT the Kef .ley Institutes in North
Topeka, Wy andotte, Leavenworth and
"lchlta over 800 patients have been
successfully cured of the opium and
aicohol 'Iabits during the last year. 1t
is SET tied fact that though the use OF
SUNNI lants al narcotics NAV be for a
time mere habits, they induce diseased
conditions. and oftentimes result from
diseased condition of the system,
winch causes an unnatural and exces-
slve craving for them. The victim is
as often to be pitied as to be blamed;
and any cure, be it medical. legal or
moral eonvi ctiOn that triumphs over
Che craving appetite, is to be com mend
ed. In few cases Keeleylsm seems to
nave been disastrous to mind and body,
Gut these. seem confined to cases in
Whlch the whole nervous and physical
system was previously wrecked; where
natures forces had been so completely
destroyed that she had not strength to
recupeFate and renew healthful activi-
ty. In such cases, of course, the vic
tim, without treatment, would soon
SuccOmb TO the fires of intemperauce
anyhow, so these cases can not be
charged to the trea tment any more
than the death Or I'M ury of a patient
Whom the consuming fires of some ter
rlble fever have placed beyond medical
aid. AS rule, the class of patients
WHO as last resort have sought the
Kelley institute nave been men of more
than average ability-men of some am
bltlon and pride III life; not the mere
hopeless and utterly deprayed sots. but
men who, but for an unfortunate and
diseased appetite, would be valuable
members of their respective commune
ties. "A recognition and appreciation
OF this fact creates fraternal feeling
and sympathy between the members
that at first sight is somewhat unac-
cOuntable.
