by the Editor OF the Chicago Tribune"
1t is well known that Hon. Joseph
Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune,
has long been an enthusiastic believer
IN the keebey cure. Upon being asked
recently how he became interested in
the great work, he wrote as follows:
Il tested this cure; / selected a half
dozen of the toughest products of alco-
hoiism which the Chicago saloons had
been able 10 turn out, and the drunkard
making shops in no other city can beat
them In their line of workmanship. The
experimental cases were sent down TO
DR.. Kelley one at a time extending
over a period Of six weeks And in due
time they were all returned TO me- look
ing as n a veTitable miracle had been
wrought upon them They went away
sots and returned gentlemen. IL was
amazing and converted me to the belief
in the efficacy of the gold cure for al
coholfsm and opium.
But / did not stop with the half
dozen specially selected cases. but sent
down to Dwight a number of ineoriate
acqUain tanceS to take the treatment, as
/ was anxious to reclaim those old
friends who had been respectable and
useful citizens before the drink habit
had ruined their lives When / had
thus become fully convinced that drum
kenness was a disease. the result OF
imbibing poison. and that a medicine
had been discovered which released the
victim from the irrepressible thirst for
alcohol, and that ii restored the man
to normal health Of body and mind,

humanity to make known the virtues

victims of alcohol. who related their ex-
persnce and testified to what the
