Tells . Reporter How the nemeuies
Act on u Patient Under Treatm ent.
The following interesting conversation
occurred at the Kelley institute in this
city yesterday between DR.. G.. NJ. Burns.
OF Dayton, WASH, one OF the leading
physicians in the eastern part Of the state,
and q Posr-ISTELLIeESCEg reporter.
The doctor in reply to a question from
the reporter, as to whether he was taking
a course at the institute, said:
''Yes, l IN taking a course Of treatment
at the institute for the liquor habit. or dis
ease. as l think it might be more properly
termed. I have beer under treatment
now about three weeks"
you are a physician. and believe in the
Kelley treatment. do you, doctor?"
Ives. l am. a physician; l am 30 years
old, and have practiced medicine and done
nothing else for the last thirty years. l

school. Yes. sir. 1 beiiere IN the Keetey

from the beginning 10 the end. Whatever
doubts / may have had before coming here
Of the efficacy Of the treatment ave van
ished under the magical application of the
double chloride OF gold to my " case.
Doubt? No, l have not the shimmering
shadow of q doubt. The theory Of DR..
Kelley in treating these addictions as dis
eases is the right one, and the whole
medical world is rapidly falling into line.
The vast array of facts on the side OF
keeley-the 20.O0 cured and rescued
men in the United States alone, who
stand up as living witnesses to testify for
the Kelley treatment. Is too strong to be
resisted. These facts create q public opin-
ion in favor of this treatment that will
not down; a public opinion that will
eventually drive the whole medical pro-
fession TO endorse it. They are coming 10
it now all over the country. l see the
Kelley treatment was unanimously en-
dorsed and approved at the meeting Of
Medical Round Table Club. at Cleveland,
O.. the other day. This is the Oldest
homeopathy college in the world.
Yes, | am taking u tour wee Ks course.
My addiction 10 the use OF liquor was
periodical or d~ipsomania. l see DIR. Kelley
advises a four weeks course for this class OF
students, and l think myself this is the
most difficult form of the drink disease to
treat, and made up my nina on the start 10
take full course and make a good job
OF IT,"
How about the medical department OF
the institute here, docsor?"
"Oh. they have a good medical faculty
here. DR.. Bump. who Is in charge OF the
medical department. is just out from
Dwight, ILL.,. the home of DIR. keesey. Tie
was trained at the institute 1t Dwight by
DIR. keeiey himself. DR.. Bump knows
how to administer the Kelley remedies.
A doctor must be trained at Dwight before
DIR. Kelley will allow him to take charge
of an institute at all.
