The times., 1892-03-18

for nearly twenty years at Au Sable, who
like good many took i'm his share of liquor
with the saw logs, and now a fnl-fledged
graduate from the Kelley institute, has this
to say: The institute is located at North
vile, Mich. 25 miles west of Detroit or 30
east of Holly on the Flint & Pere Marquette |
Railroad. 1t is nicely laid out town, free |
from muddy streets, and as good water as |
there is anywhere The u. S. fish hatch
cry for speckled and brook trout is located |
here on account of the purity of the water. |
1t is large two story building surrounded
by handsome lawn and shade trees, about
ten minutes walk from the depot. 1t is
large, two story building surrounded by a
handsome lawn and shade trees, about ten
minutes walk from the depot. 1t is under
the supervision of and operating under a
special contract with Leslie r.. Kelley, Nj.
D., l.. l.. d., the discOverer of the b-chlOr
ide OF gold remedies for the permanent cure
of the liquor, opium or morphine and tobac
co habits, and the only institution in Michi-
gan that has the right to use these remedies.
These remedies are prepared personally by
and under the direct supervision of DIR.
Kelley at his laboratory and shipped direct
to this institute. It under the supervision
of the medical director and his assistants
and A. Waring, the secretary.
ION the arrival of a patient he Is examin-
ed by the doctor more especially as to the
heart, as that organ suffers, with the brain,
more than any other. If he has been drink
ing on his arrival. what whiskey he has with
him is taken from him, but in its stead he
| is given of the best Taylor whiskey all he
needs, this being done not to have the sys-
TEN run down by suddenly stopping it; but
after he has been there from three to five
days he has lost the appetite for it, and will
not take any more, it being offensive to him,
and even the smell of it is disgusting. He,
on his arrival, forms in line with the rest of
the students" and takes hyperdermic IN
| lection of the bi-chOride of gold four times
each day. He is also given bottle of med
| icine, of which he takes one teaspoonful
every two hours, six to eight times each day.
He is as free to go and come as if he were at
home. The female patients are not treated
at the institute, but the doctor visits them
where they board, The patients are as
bright a lot of men as can be found in any
town in the state; being composed of attor-
neys, doctors, editors, and, in fact, from
every station of life. Some of the brightest
and most liberal men are liquor drinkers and
they are the persons that seek to be cured
and after they find themselves cured are
not ashamed to publish it to the world, and
there is not member of the Bi-Choride of
Gold Club but what is willing to have his
name used if it will help to cure one of the
unfortunate sufferers; they think it more of
a disgrace to be seen under the influence of
liquor once than to have the world know that
they have had manhood enough to go to
Worthwhile and he cured. There is not a
place anywhere that can be found where the
patients are so kind and help each other,
writing letters for them the first day they
are there, walking about with each other,
and helping each other not to forget to take
their medicine at the proper time. After
a patient has taken the treatment for about
two weeks he Is gwen drink of liquor to
show the effect of the treatment, and there
is hardly one but what is very Sick the
stomach not being able to retain it if it does
not gag him going down, the system being
thoroughly cleansed from all alcohol, the
same as it was before drink was ever TAX
en-, and anyone starting to drink after being
in that condition and the appetite and crav-
ing for liquor completely stopped, does it
from sheer wantOnnesS or deVt,y, and must
suffer the consequences, as ii takes more will
power to start again than it takes to let it
alone. and such man every community can
easily spare, as he l., no good to himself or
anyone on earth. No man starts in to be-
come n drunkard or morphine liend at
once, but takes his dose regularly until it
requires more and more each day and each
week to give the desired effect, until he is
so nervous and sleepless that he is afraid to
meet anyone socially, and even gets so far
that he docs not want to sleep alone, and
finally gets the horrors and deerium tremens
and dies or goes to an insane asylum. many
deaths from liquor being called heart disease
and apopleXy by the doctor. Every case
can be permancntyocu at Worthwhile if
the patient has manhood enough to ac-
knowledge TO himself that he does drink
liquor or eat morphine or opium and wants
to be cured and has vitality enough left of
his constitution to build up again, and atter
he starts taking the treatment he will not
suffer any Of the terrible agOnies that he
has many time suffered in SOLDERING up,
but not losing the craving and appetite for
the cursed stuff. If person was there for
a week and could see and hear so many
give their sorrowful experience, of their
homes being made hell on EARTH and
how cheerful and pleasant it is to think
how bright they will be in the future, he
would help to bring every one there who
touches liquor. At Alpena and i'm the Sagi-
nav valley the merchants and lumbermen
have and do subscribe to a fund to send
every who wants to be cured to Worthwhile,
. il they have not the means to go with, and
can be made respectable citizens again. A
, great many very prominent men from there
have taken the treatment and know and ap-
preciate the good it has done them.
John Rodgers of the Rodgers Iron Manu-
featuring company, of MuskegOn, in an in
terview published IN the Daily Chronicle
! of Muskegon, March 1, says he was in
duced by his father to go and his appetite
for liquor is entirely destroyed and he does
not crave or want it, but that he was once
one of the boys. He also says: "Why is
it that some medical men don't take any
stock in and disparage the Keeley cure,
when out of 1900 at the Kelley institute 40
. per cent. were doctors and they certainly
were not all fools. And of the judges, bank
ers, railroad presidents, etc, that were
cured, there must have been some intelli-
gent men and they would have written and
discouraged others from going there" All
|, that can be sail can be said in nutshell:
: that every man or woman can be cured per-
manently if they choose and for as small an
expense as it costs many to go on one spree.
DIR. Kelley says that the institute at North
vile is the finest location he has seen of any
yet started A long article on the Kelley
cure is i'm the Detroit Tribune of February
, 26, written by George III. Blair, of Jackson,
