II does. If YOU have any doubts on that
point drop of tho train here some day and
spend few hours conversing with those
who have been and are being treated at
the Greensboro Institute.
The experience will bo worth some
thing TO you in more respects than one. It
will not only dssipate any preconcelved
notion you may have had about what some
have been pleased TO term the keeley-cure
fad" but it will give you some new
thoughts respecting the liquor habit; and
perhaps. if you are ono of those strong
characters who have no sympathy for a
man who drinks, you Will get an injection
of charity into your system that Will be 10
your advantage.
Ii the Kelley cure Is q 'fa1 ~ IL
blessed one. Such is the. testimony OF
thousands oil over the country to-day.
| once heard n Methodist minister de-
liver a temperance sermon in which no
declared he would not give half ~ much
to save the soul of q man who didn't drink
as he would to save that OF man who did
drink, for tho reason, he added, that as
rule those who did not drink were not
worth saving.
am not prepared to go as far as my
Methodist preacher friend, but there was o
good deal 10 think about IN his suggestion.
Certainly, those of bright mind and OF the
most generous emotions have the greater
reason to guard against liouor. and IT'S the
experience OF these institutes that these
classes furnish them the largest number Oh
patients.

the patients said that he thought tn
whIskey they gave him at the institute
was hoodoOed." but, he added, 1t wa

Many prominent men OF North Carolln
have been treated here and cured, and
have not met with one such who was nc

written long letters TO the newspaper
giving their experience with the cure.
