He said that at the Keeley Institute
there is no restraint On the liberty OF
the patients That they even promptly
supplied every demand by the patient
for liquor, well knowing that in few
days, under the mysterious but certain
Influences OF the treatment and remedies

tirely disappear. This cffsct of the
Keeley cure on the system he aptly IL
lustrated by the feeling produced on
the comtemplatiye mind by the incom-
ing of the ocean tide.
He said that there are two classes
OF opponents that could easily be an
swered The first, frem a mistaken re-
advocate this method of curing alcohol-
ism and rescuing the drunkard was to
depreciate the grace of G I'd and the
power of religion. He ably combatteS
this position and declare that
such plea would be equally appli-
cable to the taking of medical treatment
for fever or pneumonia or any other dis
ease. He said that society, and espec-
tally the religious world, should hail
with Joy any curative agency that had
the power to restore the inebriate 10 MS
man hood and the full possession of his
faculties and save him from a life OF
shame and his family from disgrace and
want, and he contended that the Keeley
treatment in its grand results was prov
ing a valuable adjunct TO the cause ofre-
liglon. He then cited The r-buke by the
Saviour to John,"Forbid him not fer he
that is not against US is for US" The
othtr class consists Of those who de-
nounce it as secret remedy and who
contend that it should be given to
the public if it possesses the virtues

There, said the speaker, is as complet
