A RECORD OF HUMANITY
OVER TWELVE YEARS SUCCESS


The record of the Greensboro Kee-
ley Institute during the past twelve
years is a record of humanity-a rec
ord of where science Appropriated
the miraculous. Almost four thous
and patients have been treated and
out of this number some of the pa
tents have failed-but never the
treatment. There have been honest
failures on the part of patients-case
of where those fully restored to their
normal and healthy conditions,
thoughtlessly or ignorantly, touched
again the unclean thing, and there
have been other cases of where the
patient. after being restored to the
fuliness of his manhood and vigor,
Wantonly and voluntarily renewed his
old habits-an exhibition of inherent
depravity that puzzles the moralist,
the philosopher. or the man of hard,
everyday horses sense.
But in this vast army-this line of
almost four thousand fathers hus-
bands. sons,-there have still been

and cheerful and convincing testi-

that the Kelley Institute of Green's

from a drunkards death and brought
joy, and happiness, and gladness into
their lives and into the lives of 9th.

Read the letter below, which bears
abundant proof of this statement:
Durham. n. c., Nov. 8, 1903.
Being a patient of your worthy in
stitution eleven and half years ago,
/ feel that l owe you a report OF the
effects permanently produced. l am
proud that / am able, and truthfully
so, to make favorable report. |

dictates of my conscience, for l had
none. But thanks be, the good Lord
prepared a friend, and he, thanks be
to him, executed the divine command
and landed me in your hospital for
treatment for one of the worst cases
of drunkenness that has ever recover
ed under your special care and treat

I have faint recollection of my
condition when turned over to you
for treatment, and cannot give it to
you in detail; but l know it was hor-
rible; that / would be ashamed to al

entered your Institute. Yes, so proud,
l care not who knows / was treated,
and cured by your method of treat
ment l only wish that every man
that needs such treatment would avail
himself of the opportunity before it is
too late, and receive it with all his

but your treatment soon revealed to
me that my will power was still in my
grasp-it was only besmeared and
smoked up from the effects of whis-
key, as you would smoke a clear glass
by fat lightwood smoker.
In my case of treatment as each
day rolled by it became clearer and
clearer, and at the end of three weeks
il was as clear as crystal, standing as
a reserve force in a battle, stronger
than the main line, waiting only for

who has been treated by you will con-
suit that will power you have over
hauled and made comparatively new
he will never return to his vomit.
