Der have been treated by it for Neuras-
thenia, amounting altogether to some
thing more than 1000 people. Upon
this success we desire to present you
with our congratulations 1t is due
mainly to your aid and cooperation
that this laudable work has been car
ried on and upon your cooperation
much depends as to its future success.
In nearly every community through
out our land there remains some vic
tim or victims of drink or drug, either
one, or both, and we desire to secure
your cooperation in their treatment
and cure. The past work of this in
stitute is the best guarantee we can
offer to you as an inducement to your
cooperation and aid.
Upon our part we have only to say
that we have expended considerable
sums of money in clearing the way
and in convincing the public that the
Kelley treatment is and does all that
has been claimed for it, and in many
instances we have contributed with
YOU towards the treatment and cure
of your neighbors and friends.
The buildings which we occupied at
the beginning of our work, are still

spared no expense in cleansing and re-
fitting them for the summer. The san
itary conditions are good. Probably
no public building in the State is kept
with more care than the Kelley Insti-
tute at Greensboro, n. G. This state
Tnent includes the offices occupied by
the President, also by the manager, the
physician in charge, the club room for
~ N Afnv,}1 4nslaf bod nd
the dining hall, all of which are plain
~ provided for the comfort and con-
yenience of their occupants. The build
ing is also i'm charge of a competent
custodian, who looks after the general
comfort of the patients at all hours
of the day and night. The boarding de-
partment is under the care of a cornpe-
tent gentleman who gives all
the necessary attention to the
wants of the table, providing
such food as is necessary for the pa
tient during all the stages of his treat
ment, particular attention being paid
to its preparation and to the table SER
vice. This is all that a gentleman
can ask and it ins,re genera salts
faction.
DIR. b. B. Williams remains with the
Institute as its physician in charge
He is a graduate of the University Of
Maryland, class of 1888, Medical De-
partment, since which time he has
been actively engaged in general prac-
tice. He recently spent some time at
Dwight, H., where he made a special
study of the Kelley Treatment end
the methods employed at the Parent
House in the treatment of inebriety.
Shortly after his return to his own
State he was called to active duty by
this Institute. His skill as a physi-
clan and nurse is q sufficient guaran-
tee to the public an especially TO the
new patient that the neeley Rene
dies will be successfully administer
ed. DIR. Williams is a native of War
rem county.
Col. w. III. Osborn who is Well-known
to the Kelley graduates in this and adj
Joining States and whose name has
been before the public for more than
four years as the President of the In
stitute, continues at its head. His adj
vices both before and after treatment
have always been held in high and
just esteem. He has not relaxed any oil
his former energy, but is pushing the
work with his accustomed yigor. 1t is
well-I<nown that ne is solicitous con-
corning the condition Of every patient,
making repeated inquiries about each
with reference to the course Of medi-
cation taken and after his graduation
as TO the standing he makes at his
home as an abstinence man.
The true rating of the Kelley work
can ony be made when the proper
environments have been in vogue in
the home life Probably the fafrest
figures before the public are those Civ
en by the Officers of the United States
Government who have charge Of this
work in the Soldiers Homes, and we
give the following statement from the
pen of the Surgeon in charge of the
Soldiers Home al. Ieavenworth, Kan
