to me in person, but l understand
he said it was not through any
craving or desire for liquor that
he took the first drink.
The following instance will
serve to show how efficiently the
is in some instances.
One of the patients while on the
train returning from Dwight, be-
came engaged in conversation with
a man who was drinking, and
just from smelling the mans
breath, he was made 30 sick that
he was compelled to raise the car
window, and deposit his last meal
on the road side.
The "home treatment" seems
to be as efficacious when taken
strictly according to directions, as
that given by the Doctor in
person.
In answer to another charge in
your article allow me to say that
Kelley has not kept the treatment
entirely to himself; it will not die
with him.
1t is true he has not made it
public, but he has taken no patent
on it.
1t is remedy which he has
discovered, not accidentally, but
after a research of twenty years.
Anyone else is at perfect liberty
to hunt for it for the same length
of time. A man is certainly en-
titled to the result of his own
labor.
His charges are certainly reason
able enough. A patient who
goes to Dwight is required to re-
port at the Doctors Office four
times a day, which makes twenty,
eight times per week, and for all
these visits he charges you only
$500.
That is as cheap as our common
doctors work. The treatment on
an average requires only three
weeks. There are thousands OF
men who would give ten times
that much to be freed from the
appetite. Furthermore, the home
treatment can be taken for $500
He has disclosed the secret te
two trusted men.
Lastly, as to the effect of the
treatment on Prohibition. 1 re-
gard it as "God send.". Becaus,
malaria can be cured in mos
cases by proper treatment, do yor
think the law should allow a mar
to keep a stagnant pond on hi
premises which breeds malaria?
1t will declare it to be /;
nuisance and cause it to be abated
Simply because a remedy is found
for curing a drunkard is that an.
reason why the accursed liquor
traffic which causes the drunken
ness, should be allowed to exist
The treatment has been discov
cred just at the proper time
Secrets can not be kept forever
and this one will be no exception
1 predict that it will leak GU
lust about the time National Pro-
hibition is carried; and to sucl
sanguine mortals as you and m,
that time does not seem ia
distant.
The old topers will not thel
have to 20 around looking for
drink, but may have their desir
or craving satisfied by takinI
Keeley,s treatment.
/ The strong arm of the law will
say to the "gentlemen"O of tn
liquor traffic, you shall not temp
me to create such an unhumal
desire.
Then will the woes, walls an,
misery, caused by the liquo
traffic be at an end.
I Yours truly,

it, and believed that no drunkard


should enter the kingdom of
heaven, and saw that 10000
people in the United States alone
would die from the effects of
liquor, while millions of innocent
women and children suffer worse
than death from it, and declined
to tell anybody about it then he
is not the man l take him to be,
and withdraw my endorsement of
him.
To have been feeding 5000
people on bread and fish, simply to
appease their hunger for one day,
while he declined to tell what he
knew about the bichloride of gold,
would not only have been farce
as a miracle, but a terrible refec
ton on him as humanitarian.
Bro. Winslow's intimation that
my position against Kelley is a
reflection upon his loyalty to Pro-
hibition is entirely unwarranted.
No fair reading of what l then
said, or am now saying can reflect
upon anybody's loyalty to Prohi-
bition. 1t has no bearing upon
the question. His position as a
member of the State Executive
Committee shows that the Prohi-
bition party of the state have just
as much confidence in his loyalty
to the Prohibition cause as they
have in mine.
He is lawyer l think-or his
brother is and if l did not per-
sonally know his standing I'would
