NOTABLE SUCCESS OF ANoBLE WORK

A Passing Glance at the Great Good
Accomplished Through the Kelley
Method of Curing Inebriety and Re-

of Proper Usefulness in the World.

For many years the drink and drug
habits were regarded by the medical
profession and the public generally as
absolutely incurable, and this opinion.
OF the great evil continued until il
was finally proved erroneous by the
successful application of the now we'll
known Kelley cure, a system of rem
edial reformation that has been given
a practical demonstration in thousands
Of cases and which has restored to use
fulness and an honorable career many
OF the brightest minds in the country

Of dependency and degradation into
which they had fallen, and placed once
more on an equal footing with their
fellow men. Too much praise cannot
be given system that will bring this
to pass, and it is now conceded that the
Kelley cure does it.
Among the most successful of the
various institutions devoted to the no
BILE work referred to is the Kelley In
stitute, located at No. I'll North Capt.
tol street, Washington, D. c., and note
worthy as the only authorized estab-
lishment of the kind in the District of
Columbia and the State of Maryland
and the Kelley Institute at Greensboro.

exclusive rights to the use of the cure
| in their respective localities.
The Washington Institution is admir-
ably managed and has wrought COM
mendab1e work in fulfilling it's mission,
numbering among those whom it has
saved from the wretchedness of ineb-
riety some of the best known and now
most esteemed gentlemen residing
within its territory, and many from a
distance. The institution is quiet and
homelike, patients being provided with
every convenience and comfort while
undergoing the cure, and it is located
n one cf the most desirable reSiden-
| tial sections of the capital city. The
Kelley system has been practiced with
| success for a period of twenty years.
| 1t has been administered in all parts
| of the United States, and it has proved
an unlimited blessing in it's particular
field of good. A very small percentage
of those undergoing the treatment ever
return to the habit from which
| they are thereby rescued, and
the cure is equally effective
whether the sufferer seeks relief
from the use of opium, morphine, co.
caine or simply the ordinary liquor
evil.
The Washington establishment ranks
among the best of the Kelley Insti-
tutes, and we'll deserves the success;
which has attended it's efforts. 1t is
admirably conducted, the attendance
and service being perfect, and certain
cure is accomplished under condition:
that are well worthy of favorable com
ment.
The same can be said of the Greens

successful operation for more than
years, and has treated in that time up
wards of $500 persons from nearl.
