The next question is, what is to De-
come of the poor fellow already in
the clutches of strong drink?
How is man to stop drinking
when every nerve in his body calls for
alcohol? In the oil days, when TIE
climax of temperance endeaVor was
signing the pledge, the man who neet-
ed help would doubtless have been
urged to use his will power, but new
requirements develop new possible
ties. Science has solved the problem
by declaring that inebriety causes

that is needed. The restoration can
be accomplished by means of The
Kelley Cure.

possible by persistent effort and much

beverages, what is the use of the SUI

sheer force of a shattered will power
when there is a remedy that will de-
stroy the craving and restore man
to a perfectly normal condition? In
these days of scientific discovery it is
as unnecessary to endure physical
suffering while breaking up an addic-
ton as it would be to undergo sur
gical operation. without an anaesthetic.
Railroad officials and members of cor
porations were quick to avail them
selves of this new means of assisting
unfortunate employees and many have
been sent to KELLEY instead of being
discharged as before. The late Philip
u. Armour, the worlds greatest mer-
chant, was one of the first to recognize
the importance of DR.. keeleys great
discovery. Soon after it became known
he had in his services a valued en-
ploye who had become so addicted to
the use of intoxicants that at times he
was utterly incapable of doing his
work. He had been warned repeat
eddy of the danger to his position but
Mr.. Armour who was benevolent and
charitable as well as practical, deter
mined to give the man one more
chance He sent for him and told
him what he had heard of the Keeley
Cure and said to him, You go to
KELLEY and stay four weeks, and If
il is true, as has been reported, the
treatment will put you in a condition
so that you will never need or require
liquor again" The man went and
proved by experience that what had
been claimed for the treatment was
true in every particular. After that
when a man was reported to Mr.. Ar
mour as being addicted to the use of
LIQUOR he was informed that he must
either go to KELLEY or take his
time. In reply to a letter of inquiry
from a gentleman in New York Mr..
Armour wrote: Il have sent to the
Kelley Institute more than four hun
d-ed men, from book keepers to
butchers, and DR.. Kelley has sent
them back cured" Many other en-
ployers have pursued the same course,
and many places of honor and trust
are filled by men who but for the saw
ing grace of the Kelley Treatment
would have been cast out and ruined.
