IF ONLY THEY KNEW.
The Public is Not Aware OF the Remarkable
Results Obtained From the KOeloy
Treatment.

to revOlutionize all our former ideas, and
which holds out the brightest hopes for
afflicted humanity, is almost invariably
received with inCredulity and bitter OPP
position. Had Harvey lived a few
decades sooner, his head would probably
have paid the penalty Of his temerlty in
announcing his discovery Of the circula-
tion Of the blood. Upon Jenner's head
was heaped all the opprObrium Of his
profession and the public because he
found that vaccination would lessen the
terrors Of smallpox, which in his day was
one of the most fatal Of all diseases, be-
cause the medical fraternity had not
then learned how to treat it. Morton
was regarded az q dreamer, il not g
crank, when he announced his discovery
Of anesthetics, prior to which surgical
operations were chiefly butchery; and
even in our own day Koch and Pasteur
and other brilliant intelleCts have been
regarded with more or less suspicion.
But we are now entering into more toll
Grant era, and are content to wait for re-
suits before approving or Condemning,
and results are what count in deciding
such matters.
Up to within the present decade, those
who had become the victims of alcohol
were without hope OF any change in their
condition. Occasionally some one Of
these unfortunates succeeded in success
fully fighting the savage demands Of
alcoholic FIRE which ragged in his veins,
but a hundred suCcumbsd to it's r9vRgeG.
Drunkenness was considered vice by
all except q few advanced medical men
who knew that tho vice consisted in dis
easing the system with alcohol, but that
after it was diseased an Rntidote was
necessary to eliminate the poison, for
poison it is. The medical profession are
now agreed that alcohol is poison and
not food, as formerly believed, and as
such 1t is classed in the medical books.
These advanced thinkers stated q fact
which is now universally accepted, that
it ia not possible to ssturate the system
for years with a rank poison without
developing an abnormal and therefore
diseased condition, and the more the gys-
tenn is poisoned, the graver the disease.
These facts have been demonstrated time
and sgain in recent years by scientific
research, and deaths from alcoholism
now appear In the coronsr's records just
as deaths from other causes do.
The Kelley treatment is scientific
medical treatment, which thoroughly
eliminates the alcoholic poison and re-
stores the patient to health, strength,
mental and physical vigoE, which have
been absent while the blood and nerve
cells and tissues were fed by. the poison.
There is no legcrdemain, no hypnotism
about it, but it is q purely scientific
treatment Of @ disease. AS DIR. Kelley
says: 81 am not a magician, but a ply
siCisn. have only studied drunkenness
as disease and looked for a method Of
curing it. It's cure is not difficult. The
disease readily yields TO the treatment" ="
The full force Of this statement is recog-
nizsd when it is stated that patients at
the Kelley Institutes are not denied
liquor as long as q craving for it exists,
but that in few days, when tho system
