The Tribune of the 10Th inst has
the following:
''ln these enlightened days we
can scarcely conceive how it was
possible that at one time the insane
were looked upon as beings possess
ed of devils who could be driven out
only by the most rigorous and cruel
treatment. The liquor habit
has stood upon much the same
ground as insanity. The drunkard
has been a man possessed of a devil.
To exercise this devil all sorts of
means have been resorted to-pray-
ers, charms, and dungeons and with
out avail. 1t remained for coun-
try doctor to teach the world that
drunkenness is disease capable of
cure by medical treatment, and to
find the necessary remedy.
DR.. Leslie K. Kelley, the discover
er of the effectiveness of the ''Double
Chloride of Gold" as a cure for
drunkenness, opium, and tobacco
habits, is native of New York,
born of Irish parents, and now about
55 years of age. He studied medi-
cine in early life but followed other
occupations and did not graduate
until the class of 1868 at Rush Medi-
cal college, Chicago. After the war
DR.. Keeley settled in Dwight, which
was then what might be called a
frontier town and good field for
the practice of medicine. After thir-
teen years of close, lucrative prac-
tice, during all Of which time the
doctor was constantly seeking cure
for the diseases above mentioned, he
discovered the "Double Chloride OF
Gold,'' or as it is usually called, the
"Chloride of Gold and Sodium" the
agent sought for. His first remedy
was not satisfactory to him. In
December, 'S5, he closed his doors
to all patients and did not open them
again until June, 'S7, at which time
he began with an entirely new rem
edy, only retaining gold as basis
1t was then that the hypodermie
treatment was added to the consti.
tutional treatment. -. His rene.
dies are sold broadcast for home
treatment for whoever wants them.
He, however, does not allow
the solution which he uses hypo
dermically to 90 out promiscuously
1t is only used at the regularly es
tablished Keeley institutes All
physicians who take charge of insti
tutes all over the country have to be
educated at Dwight, ILL.,, before go
ing there. In this way DIR. Keele,
has corps of we'll educated physi
clans to take charge of his work and
give identical treatment with that al
Dwight.
The Great Falls Kelley Institute

branches. The idea of establishing
the branch here was conceived by
