Il recent issue the New Yorl,

It is gratifying to note that the pref
uliccs Of intelligent physicians and
clergymen are fast disappearing in the
light OF the widespread knowledge of
the certainty Of the Kelley cure. 1t IS
perhaps proper enough that measure
of conservatism should prevail in these
professions, for otherwise a thousand
and one heretical doctrines of a per-
nicious character might come in to
rend the bodies asunder. While this
conservatism is ofttimes carried too far.
still it is altogether better than unre-
strained license to accept every new
theory that comes along. Much Of
the opposition was that Of suspended
| Judgment, in all probability Num-
bers of the leading clergymen and pro-
gressive representatives of the general
body of clericals, as well as many Of
the most advanced of the medical
thinkers of today, have practically ac-
cepted and indorsed the Kelley treat
ment.
AS to growth of sentiment among
medical gentlemen, it may be stated
in passing that nearly 10000 physi-
clans have testified their faith in it by
taking the treatment. The number of
clergy who have availed themselves of
the benefits is small, to be sure; yet it
is by nc means an uncommon sight to
behold one of that profession in line,
waiting to receive the healing balm.
It is most natural that the clergy
should jealousy guard the church
and its power and authority, and re-
gard with suspicion any seeming dero-
cation of it's rights The Kelley Cure,
however, isin nosense designed to take
the Office or the work of the Christian
ministers. 1t simply takes the temple
of the human body when it is vile and
filthy from horrible disease, cleanses
it and makes it altogether fit for the
reception of the immortal truths de-
clared by the church. Instead of being
hindrance to church work, DR.. kee-
ley may be regarded as sort of John
the Baptist, preparing the way, for it
is undeniable that the elevation of
moral tone, aquickening Of conscience
and higher consciousness lnvarl-
ably follow a restoration of the physi-
cal man through the agency of the
Golden remedy. Just as the various
temperance societis, just as the gov
ernment OF the United States through
its managers of the Soldiers Homes,
Just as the newspaper press, just as the
leading business and professional men
have awakened to an appreciation OF
the infinite value of the Kelley move
ment, so, in time, the clergy and med
ical men must also heartily subscribe
TO it
Except one has studied and followed
the Kelley movement carefully it is
impossible for him to appreciate its ex-
traordinary growth, or how largely
and generally it is entering into the
thought and feeling of the age. There
is nothing in all the world that can
compare with it in the rapidity Of its
growth. Never before was there an
undying discovery that so quickly fas-
tened itself into the confidence of the
thoughtful and reflective Never be-
fore was there a movement that
brought forth such immediate results
on so large q, scale. It stands out
alone, marvel, ifnot miracle, to it's
adherents, and cause for devout graf
itude to the good God that it should
be so.
The Kelley Institute at Columbia
continues to apply this cure with Won
derfully ly satisfactory results.
