| 1t took me several seconds to make up
my mind what to take.
Finally l asked for a glass OF peach
brandy. I drank it and then l was
gone. Six months passed away and 1
was once more in the tolls. l have re-
mained shackled ever since.
| With me things we're rapidly ap-
preaching a climax. 1t was question

determined on the I'd day of Decem-
ber that would pursue the latter pol
lev. After some deliberation l con-
cluded that no more fake cures would
be used on me. 1 did not propose to
waste my time nor my money. So l
came to Riverside to find ont whether
| the genuine Kelley cure as administered
at Dwight, ILL.,, would have any effect
on me. 1t had cured thousands of
others, and 1 saw no reason why it
should not cure me. looked upon my
self as only an average human "lusher."
Arriving here Wednesday proceeded
forthwith to the branch Kelley insti-
tute, and after perfecting the necessary
arrangements DR.. Shumway at IL noon
on the day aforesaid gave treatment No.
1. The doctor is pleasant gentleman,
who looks upon all of the 30 patients
here in a way that leads one to believe
that he is sorry for them, but that he is
glad to have them with him in order
that he can give them relief. He is
physician OF high standing and univer-
sally popular with all of the ''jags,"
who look upon him as u veritAble Moses
leading them out of the wilderness.
| After entering the treatment room |
took my place in line along with the 80
others. Each one had his arm barred
half way above the elbow and the doc
tor proceeded to inject hypodermically
into that member some red fluid and
some white fluid taken from little bowls
on table in front of him. The red
fluid 1 suppose is the famous double
chloride of gold. AS the needle of the
syringe pierced the arm OF some OF the
'.jags" they would vince, but only for a
moment. Then they would pass ON and
the next man would get mis- ''shot."
Finally it came my turn. The doc
tor grabbed my arm and carefully in
serted the needle. Then he pressed
..the button" and the red and white
| fluid within a second was in my arm.
After l had taken the injection the
doctor informed me that could have all
the whisky l wanted and that he would
| furnish it to me free. This statement 1
hailed with joy, although I had
been used to receive more or
less free whisky during my
six years partnership with the
stuff. The only restriction he placed
upon me was that under no circum-
stances was I to drink other than the
whisky he furnished me. l readily
agreed to be 80 bound. He also gave
me bottle of medicine to take inter-
nally every two hours while was on my
feet-which is about 16 hours day.
The first day-Wednesday OF this
week-I took three hypodermic "shots"
of the double chloride of gold. The
first two had no noticeable effect but the
third caused great nervousness and
weakness. My left arm began to feel
sore where the needle of the syringe had
pierced it.
After l had taken the third "sot" at 8
O'Clock the doctor, at my request. gave
me four.ounce vial of whisky with in
structions to drink it when I wanted it
and that when it was gone could have
more. | commenced the work OF con-
sumption Immediately by swallowing
half OF the contents.
About 9 p. m. a drowsy feeling came
over me, but resented it and remained
forgetting to first take drink from the
four-ounce vial. / fell asleep almost as
soon as my body touched the bed and
did not awaken until a. m. 1t is
something phenomenal for me not to
awaken at least three times every night.
On the morning of the second day
Thursday-I awoke feeling vigorous,
active and hungry. At 8 O'Clock the
doctor gave me injection No. 4, and five
minutes thereafter feeling came over
me that led me to desire to close my ca.
reer on earth Immediately. 1 became
deathly sick at my stomach. All idea of
eating any breakfast lett me and did not
return. did not feel as though whisky
would help me, although had it in my
pocket.
During the morning I felt badly but
managed to eat light lunch. At 4
O'Clock the doctor gave me "shot" No 6
and at once deeire to sleep came over
me. felt as though wanted whisky
and punished the four ounce vial. At
dinner had al appetite that would put
a 4O-day faster to shame.
At 7: 80 p. m. the doctor administered
the seventh injection. and for the first
time my arm bled as a result of the
prick. Soon feeling of dizziness came
over me, but it passed away in an hour.
took another drink of the delightful
booze" before resting my body on the
couch, and soon passed into dreamland
Today I arose feeling that had en-
joyed good, healthful, refreshing sleep.
The doctor gave me the regular hypo.
dermic treatment at s a. m. 1 then
took drink of whisky and ate the
heartiest breakfast l have eaten in
