The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-09-10
Judge W. S. Arnold, general counsel

Judge W. S. Arnold, general counsel
for the Leslie E. Kelley company, who
is in charge of the work in this city,
has just taken from the press valu-
able little book. upon which he has de-
voted some months of labor, which
should be read by everyone in Utah
and the surrounding states.
The work is devoted to a history OF
a. condition of affairs which prevailed
here and will be read with interest by
all who may be so fortunate as to OBJ
tain a, copy.
1t will be remembered that in 1891
the Kelley institute of Utah began its
work of retaining victims of the
liquor, opium and morphine habits, and
that from the start its success was
phenomenal. The patients were very
numerous and in the main the cures
were permanent. But as time pro-
crossed a change was noted and those
who took the treatment toward the
close of the period which marked the
last days of the Kelley institute in the
"Gardo House" nearly all relapsed into
their former modes of life.
Judge Arnold has been investigating
the reasons for this radical change
from good to bad and in the little VOL
urne alluded to makes a thorough eX-
planation of the reasons why condi-
tons were as stated. The language used
in description is plain, direct and forcl-
bic and so written as to make the mar
rative of intense interest to all.
It appears that it was not the fault
of the Kelley remedies that so many
went back to the conditions from
which they paid their money to escape,
for the truth of the matter is that the
physician in charge was not using the
medicines from the parent house, but
on the contrary was employing agen-
cfes of his own.
The manner of his procedure Is fully
set out in the work and will at once
excite attention by the graphic way it
is depicted.
Having thus defined the state Of af-
fairs in former years, Judge Arnold
invites the public to inspect the work
which is now being done in behalf OF
the unfortunate and courts the most
rigid inquiry on the part of anyone who
may wish to make comparisons.
In addition to what Judge Arnold has
written anent the subjects, are letters
from prominent men Of this city. THE
first is by Dr.. H. N. Warren, the well
known physician, who was at the
Gardo House at the time the change of
treatment was made and who vigorous
~ protested against such action. He
corroborates the story told in terse but
emphatic terms.
Judge o. W. Powers. in an extensive
communication, eXtoss the Kelley
treatment and, from a personal knowl-
edge acquired during the legal pro-
ceedings incident to taking away the
charter of the old company and wind
ing up its affairs, certifies that now
the Kelley treatment as given at the
parent institute at Dwight is belng
given in Salt Lake city.
Angus NJ. Cannon, president OF salt
Lake stake Of Zion, in warm letter.
endorses the cure as being something
calculated to make men morally better
by giving them the physical strength
20 become so.
James B. Bloor, formerly editor and
proprietor of the Argus, in an editor
ial reproduced. has words of praise;
an able editorial by General John O..
Cannon in the Deseret News of May 10
is reproduced; Judge c. c. Good#in's
expression Of June 10, in which he
characterized the Kelley treatment as

string to make the book one of value
outside its advocacy of a treatment
which has brought back the manhood
Of 100000 men, who would otherwise

by, beyond numerical calculation, Judge
Arnold has added some information
relative to Utah. Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada and Wyoming. which will he

paign.

tors receives some space; and two pages

ing the money question also appears;

of Utah is commented upon and some
figures presented which are valuable.
The book is handsomely illustrated,

topics, should be in every ones hands.
