JOSEPH MEDILL AND DIR. KELLEY
A Strong Endorsement of DR.. Keeley's Cure
by the Editor of the Chicago "Tribune."


by the Editor Of the Chicago "Tribune."
| It is we'll known that Hon. Joseph
| Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune,
has long been an enthusiastic believ
| er in the Kelley cure. Upon beir
asked recently how he became inter-
ested in the great wo:k, n wrote a S fol-
| lows:
| II tes-ed this cure; s,'r-te1 a half
| dozen of the toughest products of al
coholism which the Chicago saloons
| had been able to turn out, ami the
! drunkard making shops in no o.her
| city can beat them in their line of work
manship. The experimental cases were
sent down to DR.. Kelley one at Il time,
| extending over a period of six weeks.
| And in due time they were all returned
| to me, looking as if a veritable MR.
| acle had been wrought upon them.
| They went away sotS and returned
| gentlemen. 1t was amazing, and con-
| verified me to belief in the efficacy of
| the gold cure for Alcoholism and opium.
But l did not stop with the half
| dozen specially selected cases, but
| sent down to Dwight number of inc
| briate acquaintance to take the treat
| ment, as l was anxious to reclaim those
old friends who had been resectable
and useful citizens before the drink
| habit had ruined their lives. When
| had thus become fully convinced that
| drunkenness was n disease the result
| of imbibing a poison, and that medi-
| cine had been discovered which re-
| leased the victim from the irrepressible
thirst for alcohol, and that il restored
| the man to normal health of body and
mind, l felt it to be a duty which
! owed TO humanity TO make known the
virtues of the Kelley cure as fast and
| as far as in my power. and 1 rejoice
| that the control of a widely read jour-
| nal enabled me TO reach the minds of
a multitude of intelligent people. op-
! ened the columns of my paper freely
to the rescued victims of alcohol, who
related their experience and testified
To what the Kelley cure had done for
them. II was not for me to say how
much those efforts of mine fastened
and disseminated a belief in or a know
ledge of DR.. Keeley's great discovery
as many other journals came 10 my as
! sistance and co-operated in the glad
| work. and they each and all are enti-
| tied to their due share of the credit
I For myself, I contributed such efforts
as I could. and have reaped an abund-
ant reward in the satisfaction felt that
I had the opportunity of helping 10
make known this sure means OF eman-
| cipation to the poor slaves OF rum.
From the humanitarian standpoint
| the knowledge that inebriety is cura-
| BILE disease Will take the highest rank
| in modern science. and looked at as a
! utihtarian discovery. II viii be regard
ed as the most useful one OF this great
century / make no exceptions 70 that
claim. because il will do more real good
to mankind than any other. II relieves
a rum cursed world OF It's bitterest foe.
Those who actually engage and
aid in this righteous cause VIII secure
the approval OF their consciences and
the heartfelt thanks OF the wreck ai
man they have helped TO rescue. and
when they come 10 face the sentinel
St. Peter az the gate. the strong prob
abilities are that they viii be told 20
pass in and take seats among the cleo,
for their good deeds done
The Kelley remedy and trea tnen.
