Of the Kennebec Journal

GENTLEMEN: In your issue of April 26th
have read with interest an article on the
Kelley cure, by Mr.. L. A. Game, and
while there is no doubt, nothing but truth
in the statements made by him, he has, as
may be readily seen, wholly neglected to
call the attention of Maine citizens to the
fact that we have. in our own State Of
Maine, one Of the finest and best equipped
Kelley Institutes to be found any
where in thees United States. He says:
1.-The right to use the Kelley cure
In Ney Hampshire, was pu. chased
by Mr.. PaysoA Tucker" but he
neglects to say that the sole rights to use
and administer the DR.. Leslie E. Kelley
remedies in Mime belongs to the Maine
Kelley Institute Association of Deeripg,
Me. Be it known that the efficient m n
ager of the Maine Central Railroad has not
paid one dollar for Kelley rights in this
State and all soliciting of patients, directly
or indirectly, outside of his purchased
rights, the state of New Hampshire. is gross
piracy. We own the right TO solicit in the
State of Maine only and are satisfied to
have the people of Maine support her own
Institutions without foraging upon the rights
of others. Have we not right to expect and
ask the citizens Of this State to support
her own State institute of Deering, Me-, in
preference to sending patients to foreign
institutes?
Mr.. Gaines article is all right in the main,
the statements regarding Kelley treatment
are all most solemn truths there's no great
er blessing or boon to fallen men than thi,
wonderful God-given Kelley treatment and
nowhere can one find surer relief and
cure for any of the habits for which it is
recommended than at cur own State of
Maine Kelley Institute at DeeIing Me.
Our phs stefan in charge is graduate of
the home or parent institute, at Dwight, H.,
and he has obtained results with his patients
equalled by no other Kelley institute
physician. Since establishing the Deering
Institute we have had but two lapses, less
than Mree-fourths of one per cent. of all
patients treated, record yet to be reachet
by any other institute in the country. Does
Mr. Caine in his "interric,c" tell you we
are much nearer to you people of Augusta
and surrounding cities than any other in
stitute in this country! | think he failed
to state this, but it is so. Far be it from
my intentions to say word against any
Kelley Institute, especially MIR. Payson
fuckers, for the good they are doing is
immense, their management is certainly
above the average and aside from the Maine
Kelley Institute, there is no finer institute
in this country than the one owned by Mr..
Tucker. Justice is all we want, we do not
in any way or form try to procure patients
outside of our own State and we most re-
spectfully ask foreign institutes to be con-
tent with their own state and not trespass
on our rights.
The remedies administered in every Kelley
Institute are the same. The physicians ar
furnished by DIR. Leslie +. Kelley and are
placed in each and every Kelley Institute
throughout the United States. What has
the gentleman to boast of, over and above
every other Kelley Institute in the land,
aside from the audacity and cheek he mani
tests when foraging upon the rights of others.
II is about time the citizens of Maine
understand this. 1t is fully time that they
should assert their rights as independent
citizens, and politely invite the gentleman
and the institute he represents, to remain
in the commonwealth where they justly
belong. The terms for treatment at the
Maine Kelley Institute, at Deeripg,
Me-, are 500 for the four weeks
necessary to effect a cure and 81 per week
for board and room making total of 1928.
Here the rich and the poor are treated alike,
making it one happy and contented family.
Portland is reached by electric cars which
run directly to the doors of the institute, and
1.-THE boys" seldom pass a lonely day, all are
free to visit the city after they have been at
the institute for few days and our institute
is in every sense of the word Home and
not prison.
We most heartily extend to all a cordial
invitation to visit us and judge for your
selves the condition of affairs at the Maine
Kelley Institute of Deering, Me. Passen-
gers on NJ. G. r. X. trains get off at West
brook Junction, the Institute is directly
opposite the station.
Very respectfully,
CLIFTON J. BAILEY,
