KELLEY CURE PATIENTS.
THE CLASS OF MEN WHO TAKE
THE CURE.
Drunkards Who FOndly Imagine
They are Keeping 1t to Them
selves,

Il
great many communications, asking
for information regarding the Kelley
Institute of this city.
The information sought is best
answered in the following statement
made to an APPEAL reporter yester-
day by DR.. Sussdorff,
cit is supposed by those who are
unacquainted with the class of peo-
pie taking the "Keeley Cure" that
they are generally persons of low
character, and disreputable habits,
i'll addition to their drunkenness.
This is mistake.
Investigation will prove that a
large majority are persons, who pos
sess high qualities naturally, both of
the mind and heart. Take a class of
90 patients, from this or any other
Kelley Institute, and compare them
with any 90 mon you can find upon
the best streets of any city, and they
will compare favorably. All walks
of life are represented here, but
principally those who are educated
and intelligent people.
1t is very often the case, with
those who contemplate takingthe treat
ment, that they hesitate to begin, fear
ing it will be generally known that
they are doing so, which will bring
dlscredit and lower them in the est
nation of their friends and the pub
lie. This feeling of sensativeness
should be overcome-slnce 1T is a
false one. Intelligent, thinking peo-
pie, now understand that drunken
ness is a disease, and as such should
be treated by specific medication,
and is not regarded as vice to be
overcome by will power or moral
suasion.
1t is remarkable fact that drink
ing men believe that but few, if any
persons, know that they are drunkards.
They deceive themselves in this par
ticular, and think they deceive Others
also. But the truth is, that no man
has ever been able, or ever will be
able, to conceal this fact from his
friends or even acquaintance.
1t is certainly more manly and
commendable TO determine to shake
off the shackles of drunkenness, by
taking a cure for the disease, than to
continue a slave to its degrading in
flueuce. A few days after beginning
treatment, the change for the better
in his whole condition, physical,
mental and moral, is so pronounced,
that his appreciation will find ex-
preston, and in his happiness he
will want everyone to know of it,
and all his friends to take the treat
ment. Instead of lowering him, it
will elevate him in the esteem of
those whose good will is worth hav-
ing; and when his cure is completed
and he returns to his home, he will
find the right hand of fellowship
cordially extended him, and his
family and friends will have a trust
in him, and confidence in his future,
which will enable him speedily to re-
gain his proper place in society, and
compel the respect and esteem of his
fellow men.
The question is sometimes asked:
lis it dangerous to take the treat
ment2" Twill it inJure the funct-
ions of the brain, or general healthl"
No, it is not dangerous or injur-
ious. A child, under certain in
structions, could take barrel full of
it without injurious consequences.
The effect of the treatment, is to &C
complish complete renovation, and
restore the functions of the body to
their normal condition. L. pats
man back to the same condition he
was in before he ever tasted LIQUOR;
and in many instances, in better
state of health.
Before acceptinga patient for tho
treatment, a careful physical ex-
animation is made to see if any cen
ditlons are present contra indicating
the treatment; such as fatty degener-
alton of the heart; advanced state of
advanced Bnghts dis
ease etc. In advanced stages of such
diseases, it would be unwise to with
draw the stimulant necessary to pro-
long life. All drinking men have
some irregular action of the heart.
This is due to alcoholic poisoning:
