stated in the beginning Of this article,
| came here on business but, as has Of

Joy at the bottom of it. While yet in a

Kelley Institute and demanded their

among gentlemen, and in the hands
Of warm-hearted, kind, sympathetic
friends. The genial manager, MIR. Bot
toms (who is now managing the Pres
colt institute), impressed me right
away with the fact tnat he chad been
there" and therefore knew just what
needed, and had it. DIR. Prewitt, the
medical director, won the good side Of
me at once and proceeded to lance my
sleeve preparatory for the first shot"
Arrangements were made for a four
weeks treatment. | wanted for moth
ing from the commencement. Whiskey
was given me cheerfully as long as de-
sired it. The fourth day, February 20,
Il never shall forget it the longest day
/ liVe), the Kelley medicine and whisky
crossed swords over the ownershipof all
that was contained in this mortal coil.
Kelley was victorious and threw the
"old cuss" out, never to return. To the
day of my graduation l enjoyed my
stay at the institute. l never was asso-
ciated with more jovial, good-teeling
lot of men. Happiness and good cheer
seem to reign supreme in every heart.
The bond Of sympathy and true brother
hood which springs up between all who
take the cure is truly wonderful and
cheering. Now, how do 1 know that 1
am permanently cured Allow me
to answer by return ques-
ton. When Christ restored the
sight of blind Bartemas, did he know
that his sight was permanently re-
stored? He had Implicit faith in his
physician, he knew OF the reputation
his benefactor bore in all the country
round about, and he knew that that
reputation was built upon the practical
demonstration OF Christ's power to cure.
Can we not rely upon the evidence of
10000 cures, thousands of them OF
years standing? Would Uncle Sam
indorse cure and pay out thousands
OF dollars to put 1t in operation in all
OF the Soldiers Homes of the nation il
its permanency was questionable?
And then, hare UithiR an abiding con.
fdeRce that as north more to me than
any and all other eUidence that eau

termine to take drink. Am | not
afraid that l will "give way" some
time? 1t is barely possible that the
future has in store for me combina-
tion of circumstances such as to render
life intolerable, and in a moment OF
desperation | might rush into drug
store and seize a deadly poison and
drink it, but take drink of liquor,
NEVER! have suffered the torments
OF hell quite too often to ever court the
cause again. l haven't felt as we'll,
either physically or mentally for TWEEN
ty-ive years as l now feel. enjoy
my food, my digestion is perfect,
sleep like top, my heart is buoyant, |
take me altogether ~ feel just as
happy as big sun fower" As long
as am in Phoenix shall be part Of
the Kelley institute, and 1 am conf
dent that the able manager, Mr.. F. E.
Prewitt, will excuse me if take the |
liberty to invite all Phenicians in to
talk with us. We enjoy being ques.
toned in regard to this most wonderful |
discovery OF the age, so come in! you
hotel men, saloon keepers,
merchants and all. We desire to live |
in touch with every one.
