Reign, Says One Who was Cured by the
Kelley Cure, of His Home.
have been requested by many of the
readers of the Times to write an article
on the Kelley cure, giving my expert
ence and other points I thought worthy
of mention.
To begin with l would say that no
person who has not taken the treatment
In one of these institutes can form any
idea of the grand work being done by
this wonderful cure. Every day men
are being sent out into the world cured
OF all desire for drink, happy in the
knowledge that their future life will be
one OF sobriety and carrying peace and
JOY into thousands of homes where be-
fore all was misery and grief. The
feelings of a man as he leaves the in
stltute cannot be expressed. He feels
different, his thoughts are different and
the world seems different-all seems
changed These patients are thorough
~ cured of the craving or desire for
drink, and 1 am informed by the manag
ers of the topeka institute that but five
In one hundred again take to drink.
Small as this per cent seems statistics
prove it to be true.
1t is a mistaken idea which many have
and one upon which many fond par
ents write to the managers about-that
after patient is cured it is impossible
for him to take drink. The gentlemen
in charge claim nothing of the kind.
On the contrary they say they take away
the destre for drink, but that so long as
man has an, arm to raise the drink to
his mouth he can take it To me it
seems strange that man would take a
drink after being cured. He has no de-
sire for it, (if he has he was not cured).
1t is dlstasteful to him, and he knows II
Will take but very short time to place
him in more degraded. condition than
before he was "cured." a man who
cannot stop drinking without the Kelley
treatment is to be pitied, but after he
has been cured, knowing the danger he
incurs by drink. and again takes to drink
shows by his actions that he prefers the
life of a drunkard to that of a happy,
sober man.
During my stay in Topeka I met men
OF all callings in life who were, or had
been, inmates of Kelley institute. !
met lawyers, doctors, judges. merchants,
liverymen, painters, carpenters, railroad
men, and even printer or two. These
men came from all parts of the state and
had never heard of one another until
they met for the same purpose, but there

as strong and lasting as that of any secret
lodge. They spend from one to four
weeks together and every minute of time
is spent in making the time pass pleas
antly for some disheartened inmate. One
OF my friends writes me shat the love
of one old soldier for comrade is strong
but the love of one Keeleyite toward an
other is just as strong"
The Topeka institute is under the man
agement of c. W. Wadsworth, who is
the right man in the right place. He ii
a thorough business man and devotes his
entire time to the interests of the insti
tute and to those of the patients. Mr.
Wadsworth is in charge of both the
| Topeka and Kansas City, Kans.. houses
(The Only Kelley Institutes in Kansas,)
Anyone desiring further information
than | can give will receive prompt at
tention by writing him.
DR.. Charles L. Hamilton is the physi
/ clan in charge, and doubt if there is
place of the kind in existence where
more competent or better qualified ply
stefan can be found. Dr. Hamilton al
ways reminds the boys that he too haC
been saved in the same manner in which
he is now saving them.
In conclusion l would say that an
cured My hair has the same brillian
hue as of yore, but that is about the onl,
part of me which is not improved T
my friends who have given me words o
kindness and encouragement l return
sincere thanks and hope may be able t
assist some unfortunate person to do as
have, and that the same peace and hap
piness may be found in their homes tina
now exists in mine.
Put out thy talents to their use,
Lay nothing by to rust
Give vulgar ignorance thy scOrn,
And innocence thy trust.
Rise to thy proper pace in life,
| Trample upon all SIN;
But still the gentle hand hold out,
To help the wanderer in. -
