sible adjustment could it sufficiently
meet Billings Gate" time except by
shortening its own. This it did last
Sunday, arriving here at 6 p. M, instead
of the following morning, making con-
nection with the Milwaukee fast mail
here at $3.50 p. M, and arriving in Chi
cago at I the next morning, being a total
reduction of about fourteen hours and
three.quarters. The Burlington's new
schedule time is 1856 a.. M, and it cannot
possibly, it is said, do better than I B..

count of enforced lay-over at Lincoln,
Neb. The Northern Pacific had a spec

the required time, but found no occas-
sion to use it, as the time was made by
the regular mail train.
Double Chloride of Gold Cure.
1t is now about fifteen years since DR..
Kelley, then a practicing physician at
Dwight, ILL.,, and surgeon.in-chiet of the
OAACoSos 6AlOOu " oUs 1AUul5 lullIOdu, uI6t
made known his marvellous discovery of
a cure for the disease, alcoholism. Lit
tie more than four years ago the Chicago
Tribune, edited by Hon. Joseph Medill,
ex-mayor Of that city, after a careful,
painstaking investigation of the actual
merits and results Of the discovery, pub
lished it's own editorial endorsement of
the ~genuineness of the cures.
Thousands of men, and of women not
a few, hocked to Dwight to put them
selves under DIR. Keeley's treatment, and
returned to their homes to publish the
glad tidings. Seeming their opportunity
scores of unprincipled adventures
sprung their money making schemes upon
the public, announcing their discovery of
"Cures for Drunkenness" Not one of
them bore the name Of a physician of
repute as the "~discoverer." Not a news
paper having regard for truth or repu'
tatlon for reliability, ever gave them it's
endorsement. But by;copying, as nearly
as they dared, the literature, the rules,
and the methods of administration, and
in most cases by initiating the colors of
the Kelley remedies, they succeeded in
deceiving, and in hundreds of cases
wreckiug the health of victims who inno-
Gently believed they were receiving the
genuine Kelley treatment. OF course their
~pretensions of ability to cure we're
wretched failures. But aside from their
miserable malpractice and its baleful
results to their victims, i%ncalculable
harm was wrought because of the dis
trust, naturally following from these
results, of anything assuming to be a
cure for these diseases.
This should not and need not have
been true. A very little careful inquiry
would have developed the truth that not
n of these pretended ''cures" was aver
heard of until within four years lin fact,
until it was noised abroad that DR..
Kelley was making money! while the
Kelley treatment has been in successful
operation for a decade and a half. 1t
would have been learned that the Kelley
treatment has been adopted by the
United States government, and is IN use
in the National Soldiers homes. That in
a single "branch" of the National home,
located near Leavenworth, Kas., it has
been administered to more than twelve
hundred IF these wards of the nation.
OF it's results there, the surgeon of the
home, who, be it remembered, is in no
way connected with or interested in the
local Kelley Institute or it's work,
other than as one Interested in the well
fare of the men, says in a letter dated
Sept. 4, 1894:
"Thls is perhaps the most nearly a
specific medicine that we have any
knowledge of in the treatment Of dis.
ease. d: = d Not in a single instance
in all the men treated, now numbering
nearly 1900, has a man died or his phys
ical condition been injured, but in
many cases of rheumatism, neuras-
thenia, and other nervous affections,
great improvement has been noted"
And the inquirer would have further
learned that while these unreliable
pretenders have asserted that their
remedies we're 'the same in sub.
stance as the Kelley an improve
ment on the Kelley" or CDR. Keeley's
formula, obtained from one of his former
associates" the statements we're utter
falsehoods. No person besides DR..
Leslie E. Kelley and his two associates
who make up the Leslie E. Kelley COM
pany, ever had opportunity to know of
the formula. One need not ask how g
thing can be Improved upon," the COM
position of which is unknown in North
Dakota.
