BABY MORPHINE FIESD
A Three-Yesr-OId Victim of the Morphine
Habit Finds Relief i'm Dr. keeley's
Great Cure,

Great Cure.
Dr. Kelley often has said that his
remedies would not (narm an infant. The
case of little Clara Woodwork. the
famous "Keeley baby" has attracted
the attention of the press of the whole
country, and is most wonderful and
convincing proof of the truth of DR..
Keeleys words. The physcian-in-
charge tells the story as fouoWs-it is
of a typical morphine case:
Mrs. Nora Woodwork. the mother Of
this child. whose home is in JOnesville,
VT, came to the Kelley institute for
treatment for morphine ON May i. 1895
The "Keeley baby" is the youngest of
her children.
About five years ago Mrs. Woodwork
was IN very poor health, suffering, as
she said, from nervous exhaustion, when
she was first given morphine. As Is gen
orally the case with users OF morphine.
she became a complete slave 10 the drug
before she was aware of IL. She tried
hard to do without II, but II was an
utter failure, whereas. under the stimu-
hating influence she could accomplish
much, and so, as others have done be
fore, day after day she postponed the
time for quitting It's use
After Mrs. Woodwork had used the
drug for two years the baby, Clara,
was born. She nursed II for ten months,
during which time Clara was not cross
and fretful, az many babies are. When
the weaving time came, however, the
trouble began. Nothing quieted the
excited and crying child. The mother
knew the cause; IL was not receiving It's
accustomed opiate, which had been
furnished through the blood (when she
was carrying the child, and later
through the milk while nursing
Morphine had thus become a necessi-
~, and the mother began administering
il 10 rlne chEld thinking that later on she
would beak her of the habit But at
every attempt to give up the drug, 50
much suffering came to her baby that
she was compelled 10 administer more.
And thus II was Administered until
May l. when she came 10 the Kelley
institute, at which time the child was
taking one and a half grains OF NOR
phine daily, by the mouth in both cases.
The child's appearance when II began
the treatment was that OF a fairly
healthy. well-uourdshed child. Only ner-
vous. excitabla and restless. with eye~
constantly searching for something new
70 do. Both mother and child began
the treatment Immediately In a very
few days the child was eating well and
sleeping naturally without morphine
Her complexion improved, the nervous
ness disappeared. and her intellect.
which was previously bright, seemed 10
be even brighter. unal she attracted
universal attention because OF her smaT:

At the expiration Of three weeks al
remedies were discontinued, and she
was perfectly cured She was very
tractable in taking Treat me1t. sad a.
ways took her medicine without the
slightest objection. and did not call for
her powders after the first few days
She soon gave herself the name OF the
kelley baby by which SIZE WAS known
