There is class of very good people
who, perhaps because they did not
start the keeley Cure themselves,
worry their brains to find reasons why
people should not go to the Institute.
These folks say, for example, 1t costs
too much-the price is exhorbitant"
Now, let US Look at this from two
points of view: First. from the side
of the man who takes the cure, and.
sscoud. from that Of those who own
and administer it.
