of the Carnegie Works.
Mr.. Frick was born at West Overton,
Westmoreland County, December 10,
1S49. His father was a farmer of means,
gave him good education and chance
to know the world, so that at 20 years
of age he was fairly we'll equipped for
life. lie began it as clerk in a dry
goods store at Mount Pleasant, and in
1869 improved his business knowl-
edge as book-keeper at his grandfath-
er's -four mill and distillery, at Broad
ford, Fayette County. There he dis
covered the possibilities of the coke
business. and with fullness and clear
ness which confirmed his faith in it,
with such capital as he could command,
he bought an interest in a coal tract
near Broadford, and with some other
young men built fifty coke ovens. En-
couraged by his experience with these,
the number of them was doubled, then
more land was bought and the number
of ovens again doubled.
In 1873 the panic came. Mr.. Tricks
partners, embarrassed by endorse
ments, had to sell their interests, which
he induced certain friends to buy. AS

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years Of Established Merit
NOTE OF WARNINCl
TO THE PUBLIC:
DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.

DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.
As a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DR.. Leslie f. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we whrn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished III various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
Of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate sufi-
GENTLY to know'that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter of
much concern to us, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE E. KELLEY co.
Curtis J. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the sam as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to us it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
We sound this warning.
