At the parent institute at Dwight
over 6O,OOO cases have been treated and |
of these 30 per cent have been success |
fully treated. The patients are mostly
men from the higher walks of life, men
who have had the advantages of educa-
tion and have basked in the sunlight of
prosperity. But they have been sorely
wounded in the battle of life and their
mission here is no trivial one. Its sue
cess means home and love, respect, honor
and a prosperous life; its failure dis
grace. death, oblivion. What wonder
that they come with anxious faces and
become as little children in the doctors
hands? But few days passed in the
company of the older patieuts banishes
all anxiety and fills their minds with
hope. Thereafter their stay is more like
a holiday than, as they had supposed it
would be. a banishment The whole
method of treatment is so different from
their idea of such place that their mind
is favorably impressed from the first, and
this impression grows stronger with
every day OF their stay. They find here
no frowning walls, bolt ID an | scntinclel
gates, padded rooms, nor gruesomc cells
from which the sunlight of God is ex-
cluded as though, instead of hope and
health, its bright rays bore pestilence in
their giances. Instead there Is the

of those whose recent escape has made
them joyous and whose remembrance of
former trials and sorrows has given them
helpful hands and tender hearts.
The recital of some of the cures eff
fected at Dwight would sound like fairy
tales to those unacquainted with the
power which the double chloride of gold
as compounded by Dr.. keeley seems to
have On alcohol and opium poison. But
they are none the less true. Think of Il
