gone back to drink, but If it had saved one
in fifty instead OF nearly all who have taken
the treatment 1t would be good thing. L
wish more would take it,"
Hiram Carleton, judge of probate for
Washington county, expressed himself glad
OF the chance TO publicly give his endorse
ment of the Kelley Institute. Among
other thncs, Judge Carleton said :" The
beneficial effects OF the keeley Institute are
apparent to every resident OF Montpelier.
To my mind, it is especially noticeable that
the graduates have no doubt but what they
have been cured of disease. While the
general impression i'll the past has been that
ntoXicaton Is crime, the knowledge these
graduates have that they have been cured
Of disease restores to them the sef-respect
that they may have lost. There is no Ques-
ton that Montpelier has been wonderfully
benefited by the Kelley Institute"
Rev. Father w. j. O'Sullivan, pastor of St.
Augustine'S church, had hardly brushed the
dust of travel from his clothes on his te-
turn from Chicago when the reporter rang
his door bell. lie gave the WATCHMAN
man a cordial hand grasp and was perfectly
willing to give his views on this subject,
which he did in the following succinct
manner: cit is my sincere conviction that
the Kelley Institute has been productive OF
much good since its establishment in Mont
pelier, aud that the vast mi ,rity OF those
who have taken the treatment have been
intellectually benefited by it,"
WHAT THE GRADUATES SAY.
Eutreuched behind such a fortress of pub
lie approval, any institution might be proud
to " rest" But this, as newspaper article,
would be incomplete without a word from
some OF the men most Interested in the
Keeley institute, those who have received
personal benefit from the treatment. Only
a few of the nearly five hundred graduates
from the Montpelier Institute could be in
terviewed, and their ready and full respon-
SEES to the reporters q1estons must necessa-
rily be condensed W. A. Lord, prom
inent member nf Washington County Bar,
and one of the best criminal lawyers in the
state, was the first mau buttOn-hoed. The
record Mr.. Lord has made during the past
year, a. he has travelled over the state
speaking in the interests of the Montpelier
Institute and the work it has accomplished,
makes it unnecessary to give his testimony
here, but this screed would be incomplete
without a word FROM him. Mr.. Lord was
the first man in Vermont to apply for the
treatment. and has the honor of being the
first graduate. He said: 81 know that l
am cured, and you can say nothing in print
that will be too strong a recommendation
for the cure. During the fifteen months
that have passed since took the treatment,
the know ledge that the cure in my case was
radical and permanent has grown stronger
day by day. During that time have passed
through deep waters, but the time has never
come when L felt for an instant that L
wanted TO drink"
The testimony of John NJ. Willard, post.
master at East Montpelier and president of
the Eureka Granite Company, is short and
to the point. Mr.. Willard said: From
personal experience | know the Kelley In-
stiiute TO be in every respect what it claims
to be-"
j. G. Atwood OF Chelsea. who had taken
morphine for the past eighteen years, says:
" 1 had not had good nights rest in ten
years before took the treatment. Since
left the Institute at Montpelier in July last
I have gained eighteen pounds, and 1
wouldn't go back to the habit for all of

TENTS at Montpelier at the time l was there,

dorsement every chance get"
Harry G. Barnes, head book-keeper for
r. II. White & Co., Boston, who made
many friends in Montpelier during his stay
at the Pavilion last summer while taking
the treatment, says: {" came away from
Montpelier a pew man, il ever there was
such, and not thought or desire for drink

on my part to say no. and am proud of it.
My health is as near perfect az one could

toward me, wondering If it will last.

George L. Laing, recent graduate from
Northteld, says: cannot say too much

II. w. Turner OF Norwood, n. Y, who
graduated from the Montpelier Institute
last summer, writes: am fully ten years
younger than l was b fore taking the treat
ment, and my wife is trying to convince me
that / am growing good looking. Taking
the Keeley cure is the sure road TO economy
and wealth. | begin to realize this in my
own case.'
William Canning OF Montpelier, one OF
the first men to apply for the ire itment,
says: The Kelley treatment has done
more for me than any words OF mine can
express. 1t has brought me from the ditch
to manhood, with all that word implies II
has given happiness to my wife, clothes to
my children, and given me a happy. con
tented home. 1t has been fifteen months
since took the treatment, and no man liv-
ing can make me believe that he ever wants

DR.. Horace l. Watson of West Topsham
one of the most skilled young physicians in
teen months ago l graduated from the
Keeley Institu'e at Montpelier, cured and
fJreUer cured of the thirst for rum. This is
the longest time since | was twelve years
old that have been free from that longing

of my graduation has there been moment

faith, knowing that | can stand by theil
