The Keeley Cure in Central America.

for alcoholism and tho opium habit is
followed by certain bad effects, and was
often fatal to life. The last is probably
because of the loss Of several lives while
under treatment at some Of the imitation
or "fake" cures which abound, but it can
be truthfully said that while about one
thousand cures have been effected by
the genuine Keeley institutes in Kansas,
not single life has been lost while under
treatment, or which could in any way be
charged as q result OF the Keeley cure,
though many cases have been brought to
the Keeley people in most critical con
dition physically. AS to injury to health
we can but conclude, when we consider
the evidence OF those who have sheen
there" and therefore know what they
are talking ABOUT as to tho results being
very beneficial to general health, that
parties circulating these stories must be
prompted by personal interest in keep
ing up the sale Of liquor, or by men who
themselves need the cure but lack the
moral courage to come out like men and
confess it. We find the following inter-
esting letter in late number OF the Fort
Scott Monitor, written by one who came
from Central America to Kansas some
months ago to take the Keeley cure, as
it bears upon this subject especially. We
give it space in our columns for the ben
eft Of any who are interested in the
Keeley subject
