THE KELLEY INSTITUTE.

1t may be doubted if, from a material
as well as a humanitarian point of view,
the celebrated discovery made by DIR.
Leslie E. Kelley has not, for the time it
has been in use, proved a greater blessing
to the human race than any other discOv-
cry made in the ninteenth century. 1t is
gratifying alike to our pride and to
our patriotism that this remedy, which
has already proved SO great a blessing to
civilization in every country and CLINE,
was discovered by an American. It may
also be said to be an evidence of the fair
mindedneSS of the great physicians of the
two h~emispheres that they have so uni
v~ersally Endorsed DIR. Kelley as one of
the greatest specialists of the age and
have not only recommended the Kelley
treatment to the attention of their reSpec-
tive governments, but have had the treat
ment introduced into many public sani-
tariuns and hospitals. The most notable
Endorsement of the Kelley Cure in our
own country is by the United States gov
providing the treatment in mill
tary hospitals and soldiers homes and
the States of Louisiana, Maryland, Wis
consin. Colorado, Minnesota and North
Dakota and the Territory of Oklahoma
having enacted laws providing for the
treatment of INDECENT ~drunkards at pub
lie expense.
When the great and menacing evil of
intemperance in the United States is con-
sidered, it is significant that up to the
present time of our history we have been,
and are still, the most temperate people of
any civilized country on the face of the
globe. 1t is said there are more arrests of
women for drunkenness in London, En-
gland, than of men in New York CITY.
But that ~inebriety is greater in othercoun-
tries makes the evil no less appalling
here, and all Americans who love their
country and the human race will rejoice
in the hope that, by the aid Of DR..
Keeley's great discovery. civilizations
greatest evil will not only be finally re-
moved from our own country, but to a
great extent from the rest of the world.
Much as has been accomplished by in
dividual and organized effort within the
past few years, there will be still more
lone in a like time to come. Our law
makers for the nation, for states and for
our cities are beginning to realize the re-
sponsibility of their position, and to
recognize in the general law of partial
cOmpenSatiOnS good and sufficient reason
for doing all in their power to restore in
ebriates to health. to their families and to
society. Much Of the revenue of the Ma
ton, the State and our cities is derived
from licenses to sell Intoxicating liquors.
1t is, therefore,. in the nature of simple
justice that the government and the State
should help to cure the inebriate and re-
store him to his family.
We would not be understood as saying
II word in encouragement of the advO-
Gates of total abstinence, but feel justified
in saying DR.. Leslie f. Kelley has done
more for the cause of Temperance than al
the temperance lecturers and writer's OF
the world. DIR. Kelley has shown con
clusively. and the fact is universally &C
cepted, that inebriety is to all intents and
purposes "A disease. Had he stopped al
that his name would nave gon down tC
history as n of the greatest benefactors
of the human race. How much more
should he be honored for having found
cure for the disease.
AS an evidence of the great service The
Kelley Cure has been to society in Oul
own country, it is permissible to quote
statement recently issued, viz: "A ref
erence to our registers show that il
America alone 100000 cases of inebriet.
have been successfully treated"
The only authorized Kelley lnstitut
in Nevada is at Carson City.
