EDITOR JOURNAL; | uute with
some surprise, in the Oregonian
issue of the 4th inst. a card from the
Kelley Institute of Forest Grove,
intended evidently to forestall, II
possible, any efforts on the part of
the Be1al Gold Cure company Of
Oregon and Washington, recently
incorporated and organized under
the laws of the state of Iowa, to
secure foothold in the Northwest.
It Is to be regretted that the man
ayers Of the company referred to
cannot build up their own business
without endeavoring to tear down
that Of others. I would not notice
their card were it not that they are
endeavoring to mlslead the public
which TO say the least, has certainly
treated them with fairness and con.
sideration. When however they
stamp as frauds and fakirs any per-
son trying to establish any gold
cure, except under the Kelley name
and authority, they are certainly
assuming a grave responsibility, and
are stating misrepresentation of the
most prominent character.
We lay no claim of connection in
any way within the Forest Grove
institution, or to their course of
treatment, nor have its reprepresen-
tatives endeavored to establish such
claim. On the contrary, we prefer
to rely on our own merits, and are
willing to abide by the consequen-
ces, asking nor expecting no fa-
vors from competitors. The Bcdal
God cure, however, is no expert
ment. 1t is an established fact, and
its friends are legion wherever it
has been introduced. 1t has become
firmly established in the East, and
is rapidly growing in popularity.
Its institutes are located at Polo,
Illinois; Blair, Nebraska; Lincoln,
Nebraska; and companies are incor-
porated in the states of Wisconsin,
Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan,
and Colorado. The company 1 have
the honor to represent, was organ
lied at Boone, Iowa, April l, 1892,
with the following officers, whose
financial standing is shown in the
mercantile reports, viz. g. H
Welsh, president; DR.. A. G. Conley,
vice.president; Chas. II. Ballou, sec
retary; s. L. Moore, treasurer; DIR.
G. d. Rowe, DR.. E. II. Mallott, s.
M. Wooster, Rev. B. g. Lanihan,
H. A. Messmore, j. r. Whitaker,
a Id Geo. H. Welsh, Directors.
AS company we have purchased
the exclusive right to establish
Bedal gold cure institutes in Oregon
aud Washington, and my visit here
at the present time is to select loca-
tions for the same, having full
to make contracts, etc., I
have purposely avoided footing our
own horn until such time as we
were ready to commence opera
tions. 1 have spoken no unkind
words of our worthy competitors,
aud had hoped they would treat us
with the same courtesy. We ask no
bonus from any community, without
q consideration on our part, nor
until such time as we shall have
shown by our work and deeds that
we are every way responsible, and
are able TO discharge our obligations
10 the public. We are acting in
good faith, and have thus far re-
,eived naught but courteous treat
nent from the citizens of the North
vest coast. 1 carry with me letters
If endorsement from prominent
,itizens of Iowa, and the public is
lot only at liberty to, but would
leem it favor, If they would give
he business 1 represent, full investi-
cation, and judge for themselves If
he attack referred to is, in the least
Justified. The animus Of the article
8 easily understood. Our Keeley
riends, however, should not imagine
hat they have a monopoly of the
sold cure, and certainly should not
Inject to competition, which is the
acknowledged life Of trade. Be
hat as 1t may / can assure the
Kelley managers that the Bedal
Hold Cure has come to Oregon to
tay, and that we as its managers
Will endeavor to merit the confidence
nd esteem of the public. The
merits OF the treatment we will
rave no difficulty In establishing
It the proper time, and in the proper
Yours Very Truly,
