THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
The New York "PFsas" Strongly IndOrseS
DR., Keeley's Gold Cure.

b. Keeley's gold cure for drunkenness
and narcotic drug habits is withou
doubt unequaled in the history o
medicine. A contributor to a recen
issue Of the New York Daily Press, il
closing a very exhaustive review Of thu
Kelley work, says:
"Keeleyism is no longer an unsolVed
problem; it has been demonstrated be-
yond any possible peradventure. It Is
idle to discuss the question with any
one. The man who has his eyes open
cannot fail to see the evidences; the man
who shuts his eyes will see nothing, any,
how. It is just as absurd to discuss a
proposition as to whether @ cable crosses
the Atlantic ocean as to offer to argue
over whether Keeleyism is or is not
success. By every rule Of evidence, by
every determination Of fact, by every
appeal to every possible sense, the matter
is determined now and forever more. In
this day and generation, when the de
teCtive spirit is abroad in the lard, when
every newspaper and court Of justice and
individual are eagerly at work scanning,
weighing, searching, investigating, try
ing aud proving, it would be absolutely
impossible that DR.. Kelley should be a
pretender without being exposed as
such to the gaze Of the world It is the
height Of imprudence, il not OF down
right ignorance, to assert that men of
all Glasses Of intelligence and every
grade Of social position from every part
OF this broad land, to the number Of
$4,000, could be gulled by DR.. Kelley
or hundred such men as he. They
prove in their daily lives the thorough
ness and radicalness Of the cure"
One has no need to go further than
his own hamlet or village OF town or
city to find sensible, practical men who
have gone to the fount Of healing and
are ready to testify to the curative
powers thereof.
In nearly every city and hamlet
throughout the great Southwest are
living examples Of the result Of DR.,
Keeley's cure,
DR.. Kelley says the drunkard is
diseased man and should be- treated az
any other man who is sick. When he
uttered this dogma that is now inisllible,
the church had repudiated the drunkard,
societies that had been organized for bis
reclamation had given him up in despair
and disgust, and they were fast becom-
ing IN public opinion as the very cinders
OF the street.-The outcasts of social life.
He has in all cases treated the inebriate
as a sick man upon whom sympathy
should be poured rather than the vials
of wrath and punishment. Here is what
he says touching this matter:
"My treatment for drunkenness is a
method Of cure no different from the gen.
eral treatment employed by physicians
in other diseases. l am no magician,
but physician, have never dabbled
in hypnotism ] have done nothing but
study as best could drunkenness as q
disease and looked for a method of cur
ing it."
The institute in KRnsas City, Kas,
was established nearly flve years ago ,
and has been remarkably successful. I
The treatment is administered here under ,
authority Of DR.. Keeley, and is identical :
IN every respect with the treatment as !

Farmers and Merchants Sons and Daugh
teFs.
In the busy walks Of life there II
nothing 80 important as q thorough
business education. There are hun
dreds of young men and women who
are at q loss to know just what their
future business will be. They hesitate
in choosing an avOcstion for fear they
will find after years of toll that they
are not adapted to their chosen pro
fessiOn. The sharp competition that
10 found In every channel Of business
makes it almost imperative that every
young man and woman should equip
themselves with q thorough business
education that they may be able to
cope with competitors. A thorough
knowledge Of business transactions
and commercial law as taught by the
up-todste commercial colleges very
frequently decides the'ocCupation best
adapted to the individual, but this line
Of education iS frequently neglected
until the young man or woman has
decided to go into business; thus they
are handicapped to very great ex.
tent.
1t matters not what they expect to
follow - merchandising, farming or
professional business, they should first
acquire q business education, such as
