Mr.. Charles Il. James. president OF the
Menphis Kelley Institute. Is III receipt of
tho following very ihieiesti"g letter IRON
Suuirr John L. Stockley, OF Corona. Tenn,
who i, one OF the best known magistrates,
merchants and planters in that section OF
tue country:
COrons. Tenn, Feb. 6. 1897.
Deaf Sill lately had u Request from an
Opium cure to allow them 10 send Ihe Il bot
tit OF their rsmedy, but | do not uscu II
and feel that | never Will.
Knowing what the kecley Cure. under
the careful treatment OF DR.. Morrow, did
ME and olutIs who took The Treatment iof
morphine and whiskey when ! did, | i,el
and Know that i'll man Will take the treat.
mesi us he shoald. he will never want II
drink or need morphiue again. Should he
relapse II Is simply because he had rather
be a brute than Il man, and has no regard
for his l%ainily's oil his friends feelings.
t0uk your treatment and never had a
pain during my stay with you, o was |
sick bu. ones. and that was the first night
alter getting on i big drunk. aud the nigAt
on which / entered the Institute. When
| entered sour institute | was !rinkin. u
| quart or more whisky per nay and taking
10 or NOR. grains OF morphine daily, anu
| can truthiuIly say | have not had The
slightest desire Tor II drink. neither have |
ever wanted Il dose of morphine since | was
pronounced cured.
As Il matter of fact, | could take either
morphine or Whisky were | fool enough to
hazard my cure in that way. so could |
take Il rans poison; but. having been re.
stored to my natural self. ! possess tIstnali-
hood to appreciate my restoI alton. and
would not surrender the happiness and
pleasure | now enjoy with my family for
all the degrading effects of either whissey
or morphine.
Lowe my present happy and improved
physical condition to the Kelley Remedies
and TO your physicians Or. Morrow sclen-
life administration Of same, and may God
bless him in his efforts to relieve the Nic-
tins of either habit who may come to your
institute. | know he will do so If they Will
follow his instructions.
would certainly advise all who are VIC
tins OF either Of these dreaded diseases, or
habits TO take the Kelley cure. There is
no humbug in it, and they can feel comb
dent that 1t will restore them and make
them over. rs 1t were.
With my best wishes for Yourself and the
Institute, and especially DIR. Morrow, | am

The Memphis Kelley Institute never pul-
fishes a communication without permission
from the writer, but, recognizing Squire
Stockley's letter as one that would more
than likely do great gooG. they wrote bidi
asking his permission to publish it, to which
he replied as follows:
Corona. Tenn, Feb. 10, 1871.
Gentlcmen--ln reply to your esteemed
favor Of tho nth instant. will say you have
my full consent to use my letter in any way
you see tit.
am not ashamed OF having taken the
treatment. was suffering with Il disease
the average physician could not cure. II a
man had been cured OF the smallpox and
would not let his fellow men know where
he found a cure. or where the cure could be
obtained, | would consider Kim most bru-
tai. | therefore feel that it Is my duty
having been delivered from this worse thar
living death. to make known to the thOus'
anGs in this section of the country VIII ere
they cun be be relieved Of their horrible sui
tering aud be restored 10 perfect manhood
1t is hardly necessary Tor Inc to say that
feel grateful to the Memphis Kelley lnsti
suite tor my d"liycrance; and anything | cai
40 for IT, or to save the victims of the dru.
and liquor habit, am more than willing t
do.
With best wishes for yourself and DR.
Morrow, l Am, your true friend.
