KeeIey Gold Cure Analysed by
Or. KrauS, Chemist
SAYS DOES NOT CONTAIN GOLD
Kelley Institute Sells Furniture and
Fixtures to James Sanltarlum-Dr.
Morrow. Formerly With "Keeley
Cure" Now Medical Director
of James Sanatoriunn.

In order that the public may know
something of our position in the legal
controversy that has been going on be-
tween the Leslie E. Kelley company, the
company with which DR.. Leslie e. Kelley
was connected previous to his DEATH we
have concluded to make the following
Statements
When we engaged in the Kelley insti-
tute business, DR.. Leslie e. Kelley, the
originator of the Kelley remedies, ad-
vised us that the remedies he would fur-
nish us contained Chloride OF gold ana
sodium, and that drunkenness could be,
and was being, cured in three weeks by
the use Of his remedies. In 1900 Dr. heeley
died. and since that time 1t has required
four TO six weeks to treat alcoholism
and equally as long to treat drug ao-
dictions. the latter patients sufrerlns
greatly. DR.. Kelley also claimed that ne
Cured IS per cent of those who came To
him. Since DIR. Keeleys death we olscoF-'
cred there has been a great chanse III
these remedies the Leslie e. Kelley COM
many in the first instance announcing 10
tha world that 1t would require in future
fonr weeks or longer to cure ALCOHOLISM
or morphinism.
DR. Morrow, our medical director In
observing results obtained from the use
of the Kelley remedies as prepared since
DIR. Keeley's DEATH the originator OF these
remedies, discovered that the percentage
of relapses was far in excess OF the per-
centages of relapses during DR.. Keeley
life Denositions taken at Dwight, Ill,
show that twenty-five out Of twenty sew
en- patients treated there had relapses' AS
a result of this and other discoveries as 10
the ineffcacy Of the Keeiey remedles' ne
brought suit against the Leslie r. Kelley
company for 100000 damages. TINS case
will be tried at the coming OCTOBER term
limited States court, Peoria, Ill. In the
litigation that has been pending between
the Leslie e. Kelley company and our
selves. John r. Oughton, the president
and chemist of the Leslie q. Kelley COM
many of Dwight, H., stated on oath that
DR.. Leslie e. Kelley, the originator OF
Kelley remedies died without leaving
written formula of his double chlorlde
Of gold remedies.
In the same suit, in which the Leslie
n Keelev company, through it's vice
president made the above statement, Dr.
William Krauss, Phi. c., a noted southern
chemist, stated that he had analysed the
Kelley tonics and hypodermic solutions,
which as are now used in Kelley insti-
tutes and had failed to find gold In any
| form OF any ingredients In the keeley
remedies that would cure drunkenness,
and that instead Of this he found the
Kelley tonics to contain willow bark,
hops, muriate of ammonia and % per
cent alcohol. The Kelley hypodermic So
lutions to contain the following powerful
and dangerous drugs, viz: Hyosine NOR
phine, caffeine and piloearpine. Realiz-
! ing that the Kelley remedies were not
effectual as when prepared by DR.. Leslie
r. Kelley, the originator of the remedies,
DR.. Samuel Morrow our medical direc-
tor, who had been In the Kelley service
during DR.. Keeleys life, left the Kelley
service and connected himself with the
James sanitorium of this city, which he
claims has an improved treatment by
which he is now able to cure alcoholism,
drug addictions, tobacco and cigarette
habits in ten days to two weeks, and by
the aid of which he Is enabled to more
successfully treat nervous diseases or all
kinds than with the Kelley remedies.
AS a result of DIR, Morrows severins
his connections with us and refusing
| longer to administer Kelley remedies, the
James shnatorium with which he has con-
nected himself, has under his supervision
so successfully treated alcoholism, mar
cotism tobacco and cigarette habits,
that they have monopolzed the field in
! that respect All of the Kelley Institutes
under out administration have been closed
and consequently no longer administer the
| Kelley remedies. We have sold our fur
niture and fixtures to the James sani-
| forum of Memphis, Tenn, and recon-
mend DR.. Morrow and the James Sanator-
ium to the public.
