Some OF the Mistakes Rectihed by TEnih-
tul Explanations.
Many persons have an indstinct and
incomplete idea of the Kelley cure.
They ask all sorts of questions involv-
ing both the serious aud humorous as
poets OF the treatment. To answer all
these would be impossible-a few only
are attempted. One of the questions
most frequently asked is:
is the cure permanent
Inc cure 10 permanent in every case
where the patlen. sincerely desires 10
abstain from alcohol. Less than 5 per
cent. OF the whole number treated at
Dwight 60 back to drink. OF this num-
Der the great majority are those sent TO
Dwight against their will and without
their consent, generally young men OF
leisure and wealth. The minority are
men VINO, like Colonel Mines OF New
York and Congressman Hopkins, take
10 drink with = suicidal purpose. In
this class also are those who take part
OF the treatment and leave without per-
mission before completing il. There
are few cases IN which neither hui
man or divine power can effect cure.
They are the obstinate, concerted, de-
PRAYED and ungrateful monsters who
masquerade as men and women.
