Your reporter stepped off the train,
and saw no more of the young men,

What a grand thing, what a glorious
thing it would be if every young man
in the State who is addicted to strong
drink, would back up his New Year
resolution with something tangible!

But this is a depression. The Insti-
tute was found to be pleasantly located
in the central part Of the CITY, within
easy reach of the depot. Eight thou
sand of the best people of the State live
there. and they are all warm admirers
of the Kelley Cure.
President w. II. Osborn, was found
to be an open, frank man. ready to
answer any question and give any IN
formation. DIR W. J. H. Durham, the
physician in charge, is a man OF many
years experience in the medical pro
~fession. and his ineXhaustible patience
fits him peculiarly for his position.
But the crowd gathered there for treat
ment was the greatest surprise. Ihey
were Of the best men of the State
lawyers, doctors, merchants, farmers,
manufacturers, and men OF every avo-
cation and calling.
It is apt to be generally supposed
that it is a pretty tough crowd that
make up the patients at Greensboro.
This is q very great mistake. They

tell Of a right good JOKE perpetrated by
the doctor. A young man went 20
Greensboro for treatment. He stopped
at q hotel, and sent for the physician,
who called on him soon after ward.
The young man objected to going to
the Institute, as he held himself as bet
ter than those there. The doctor eX-
amined him and advised him to com
menCe the treatment at once, and
assured him that possibly within a
week he might be decent enough to as
sociate with the patients at the Instl-
tute. Why, there were men there

morally, socially and every other way.
At any rate, your reporter found gen

word, and a more pleasant hour has
not been spent in many a day.

the treatment. It cures intemperanCe,
and that is enough. The treatment is
painless, and without nervous shock,
and no n need hesitate to take it on
account of other ailments. The whis-
key and opium addiction is treated as
a disease, and such it is surely, and as
such it Is successfully cured.
But nobody's special word was taken
for this. On the roll book were found
the names Of nearly seven hundred
men, and the Institute has been estab~
llshed but little more than q wear. In
the presidents room were seen hun
dreds of testimonials from different
persons who had been benefited by the
Kelley Cure. All we're loud in their
commentator. Among the number
were several personally known to
your reporter, and there was no room
to doubt the genuineness of their cures.
The testimonials are too strong and
too abundant, from sources too repu
table and well known to require further
proof.
1t is somewhat strange that some
people will speak lightly of the Kelley
Cure. Can't they believe their own
eyes2 In nearly every town in the
State, certainly in every county, are
to be found graduates of the Greens,
borO Institute, and they will all gladly
testify to the merit of the double chic
ride of gold cure. Another thing is
somewhat strange: Suppose a remedy
for consumption was discovered that
had such endorsement as the Kelley
Cure, would not all the afflicted ones
