INDIANS TAKE KELLEY

strange Effect of DIR. Keeley'S Rem dies
Upon Members of the Usage and Della
ware Nations at the Kansas City Kelley
1nstituts.
1t will be surprising TO many readers
10 learn that the Usage and Delaware
Indians are splendid patrons of the Kee-
ley Institute at Kansas City, Kansas.
They have the largest per capita wealth
of any people in the world, and having
acquired d craving for strong drink,
N any of these aborlginees have become
helpless drunkards, Over three score OF
them have been treated here and strange
to say not enc of the full bloods hes re-
lapsed to drink, though many CT them
received the treatment one to three years
ago. Among these treated have been
number of half breeds, OF whom but two
or three young men have reiapsed.
1t has been said that al ludlan keeps
his word better than white man and 1t
is probably true. DR.. Simpson, medical
director OF the institute, informed us that
when sn Indian promised lin through
an Interpreter not TO visit snloone, nor
Jake any spirits from him, he invariably
kept his word. This is remarkable, but
when this trait is considered 1t is not SO
surprising that Indians are invariably
cured
The New York Press of recent date,
made this comment:
While it is freely admitted that there
are men who are SO weak minded and
purpoaeless that they might relapse AT
Ter taxing the Kelley cure, 1t Is none the
less true that the treatment Is ethcient as
to all sorts and conditions OF men. A
practical demonstration OF this instance
mas been made upon indians at the nee
ley institute at Kansas City, Kan, the re-
suits proving IN the hig hest degree graf
\ Si,. mar
mainIaIned. Efforts are being made Win
,rLmlse of success to still further extend
ths blessings of the cure among those
wards Of the nation
In view of the successful treatment OF
sevaEes of Kansas City, Kansas, the
French government hoped to reclaim It's
fallen population and has written for full
particulars in regard to the treatment.
The management of this femoas and IL
.erestIng institute has kindly furnished
Lie Frence government with the modus
uperandi of the Kelley cure and hopes
20 hear great results in the near future.
Although the institute al Kansas City.
Kansas has become somewhat noted on
account of the large number of Indians
treated with such marked success, 1t
should not for moment be imagined
that the work of this institute is wholly
among the noble red men of the plains.
On the contrary it has, during its whole
existence. enjoyed most excellent repu-
tation. 1t is patronized by nearly every
RAILROAD and large corporation in the
west and numbers of lis graduates are
merchants, bankers, lawyers, min
listers, physicians, real estate and
insurance men, mechanics, clerks in
every line of business, tillers of the soil,
and a multitude of railroad men who are
all living examples of the wonderful
effects of the Kelley cure as admins
tered there.
Cured and free men from this insti-
tute are found in nearly every city and
hamlet in the Great Southwest territory
tributary to Kansas City. The fact that
il is the genuine authorized Kelley iusti-
tute for the west, receiving all remedies
direct from the great laboratory of the
Kelley company, and administering
treatment in every way Identical with
that received at Dwight, coupled with
the policy of the management to be
liberal in all dealings and to employ
none but the very best medical assist
ance obtainable, is sufficient to explain
he phenomenal success that has been
the reward of this institutions efforts.
Splendid Lection.
The institute is located in the Ports
mouth building, corner of Sixth stree
and Minnesota avenue, atthe Junction CT
the cable and elevated lines of street
railway in Kansas City, Kansas. The
nine beautiful rooms are light, airy anc
