JENNINGS BIRDS
 AMONG THE BEST

Voluntary Weather Observer William Jennings is proud of the fact that he won second premium on Barred Rock cockerels at the poultry show here this week. The bird scored *93 1-2 which is a good showing for any breeder. A bullet of the same breed exhibited by MT. Jennings lost second premium by only one point. The birds were in competition with those of old breeders who have been exhibiting. for years. He is a beginner in the show business and is receiving congratulations over h.s remarkable success.

WARRANT DENIED BOARD OF HEALTH

After looking over the evidence Prosecuting Attorney Delaney has de- cided that it would not be expedient to issue a warrant for the arrest of ex-Aiderman Wallace We1ch on com plaint of the Board of Health. MT. Welch has refused to fill in a low spot on his property on Charles street. There are many questions which would arise in the case and 1t is doubtful if the action would be sustained by the courts.

thing for the firm to use as an a.
vertisement; and so the Kelley fir
bought the copyright; and we a
terward printed II and gave it awe
as an advertisement, purporting
be written by Leslie Il. Kelley. \
d.; but he never wrote a word
it that | know of.
q. Well, when you first SDega|
treating patients at Dwight. did yd.
treat at Dwight or away from there
A. They were treated by corr
spondence, entirely so.
Q. How was that managed?
A. Why, at first we simply sol
ii as patent medicine" yo
know. That was all we ever expecI
ed to do at that time; but after
while | got up a series OF treatmerI
blanks; and when we shipped pacl
age of the remedy to a man,
would have sent to hiln so man1
blanks and so many self-addresse
envelopes OF the firm; and would as
him TO send us a blank filled OF
covering every two days of tfy
treatment. 1t was a very pretl
plan.
Odd you submit these blanks b
DR.. Kelley?
A. oh, no; simply handled thed
myself and when through with the1
filed away. never consulted X eelel
except in a few important cases.
q. Well when did you begin tread
ing them at Dwight?
A. U should say i'm addition n
that last question that / wrote TIL,
directions for taking the liquo
cure, and was perfectly familia
with the formula and all details O
the business.) Well, we had been Il
business some few years-can no
say exactly without referring to rec
ords--it was four years probably
and found quite a number of case
did not get cured by the home treat
ment-nothing surprising in that
and so we hit on a plan of gettiny
patients to come to Dwight; and w,
would write and tell a man tina
there were peculiarities about hi
case which were not amenable I,
home treatment, and, that IL n,
would come on to Dwight and pu
himself under the personal care o
DIR. Kelley, we could give his cas-,
the attention 1t needed. That wa
the origin OF the institute treat
ment." ] think we charged then
about $40 a week, or such mat
ter.
Q. Was the MEDICINE interval a
that time?
a. Yes, sir.
Q. What did you charge for tn
home treatment?
a. 80 a pair for the liquor cure
$40 for the opium, So for the to
bacco. s. for the neurasthenia
which last afterward raised to 81
because we thought a man woul,
give So for it just as quick as h,
would give So.
Q. When did the hypodermic in
lection originate, how and why?
A. That is very simple. after
few patients came for treatment. W,
found 1t very difficult to hold them
as Dwight was a little muddy, out
OF the way village OF 800 inhabi
tants with no attractions, nothin,
to do or see and nowhere to go, anC
city man would get tired out in
two or three days and want to &,
home. and we tried giving then
walks having them walk up to tn,
first crossing OF the railroad anC
bacK, and finally Kelley thought o
the idea of giving them a specif,
object to engage their attention
Bluefield evening leader. [volume] (Bluefield, W. Va.) 1906-1911, 1909-07-17

saved further experiments and was
not dangerous.
Q. Was there any gold or sodium
in this remedy?
a. There is gold in everything,
Mr.. Kelly. There is gold in mud
there is a trace of gold. / know
Kelley woulx often say: There is a
trace of gold anyway in it, and that
is enough"
q. Was the Chord OF gold and
sodium used as a part OF the medi-
cine after the sewing machine agent
incident?
A. | do not think we used gold
after the sewing machine agent S
case and certainly not after we had
been inbusiness for a few months.
q. believe you consulted and
discontinued its use and substituted
another drug?
a. Yes, but can not rene mbeI
just when that was; but it was with
in few months Of the time we first
started the business.
q. Why was the name double
chloride of gold continued on the
bottles, labels and advertisements
A. Well, because Kelley claimed
it was a very effective name TO use
impressive-it would impress the
people-it was good thing to use
Q. Did the physicians believe in
the efficiency of gold at the time
double chloride of gold?
A. At that time gold was not
used as a medicine to any extent; It
has been used more since than at
any time before.
WhaF Wac tho pot,,~a ~
circular You got out, and who was
its author?
a. Oh, it was n statement from
me. as vice president OF the Illinois
state Temperance League, calling
remedy; and a general statement of
main part was testimonials.
Q. Were these testimonials from
persons who had taken the remedy?
A. Why, no. think we had one
from Campbell-no other.
Q. What was the nature of the
testimonials?
A. They were testimonials from
doctors and other people, claiming
they had been cured.
Q. Were they true?
~ OIB no, manu- ldCluTeU lot tne
purpose.
A. DO you know General Will
loughby?
A. know Willoughby.
Q. Did you have testimonial
from him?
A. No; | think that was later
in the game.
q. How did he sign his name
A. A. p. Willoughby.
Q. How was he advertised?
A. Why. Willoughby came down
there and wanted to get control of
several States. We agreed to let
him have so many States If he would
buy so much medicine and so many
pamphlets-we had the phamplets
printed at Dwight
Q. His testimonials were signed
General A. p. Willoughby?
a. That was on the backs OF
the pamphlets his name and adj
dress-it was only one Of Keeley's
freaks that was all.
q. Why was he called general?
A. oh, that was simply this way:
When ! came to make out the copy
for that address on the back OF the
pamphlet, I put It down A. p. Will
loughby. Kelley said. General A.
=. Willoughby." "He wasn't a
Bluefield evening leader. [volume] (Bluefield, W. Va.) 1906-1911, 1909-07-17

general" | said. Kelley said, Yes,
ne is General Agent and it sounds
better" and so the phamplets were
printed that way.
Q. What were your duties, Mr..
Hargraves, in the company?
A. | was correspondent and liter
airy man; the advertising man
might call myself the general pIbli-
city man.
Q. Who. then wrote these testi-
monials set out In the pamphlet
in the ones referred to just now.
Were those written by DR.. Kelley?
A. You mean those represeatins
patients cured?
O. Yes.
A. oh, those were Keely's inven-
tons.
Q. How was that managed.
A. Why, he simply got them up
q. Just wrote the testimonials
and signed the mems names to them ?
A. oh, yes; he said they were
friends OF his; and would not go back
on 1t. He said we must have some
thing to make a showing with. You
must remember we were in pretty
hard lines at that time. We were not
lying on flowery beds of ease"
q. These testimonials would rep
resent parties as taking the treat
ment and being cured by it. when,
as a matter OF fact, they had not
taken the treatment at all?
A. Oh, no; they had not taken
the treatment.
Q. Now. what was the nature of
the literature that you wrote, Mr..
Hargraves?
A. Why, / think | wrote all the
literature written with a few excep-
lions.
Q. Whose name was signed to all
the literature?
A. Leslie f. Kelley, NJ. d.
Q. Was DR.. Kelley a literary
man: could he write articles?
A. Oh. no; no one ever accused
him of being able to.
O. Who wrote the Pathology OF
.prurkenness,' claimed by DR.. Kee-
ley?
A. 1t was written by DR.. r. ].
Curtis OF Joliet.
Q. Was it submitted to any #
the firm.
A. Only to Kelley and myself.
q Was DR.. Keeleys name signed
to It?
A. Oh certainly; the reason we
got Curtis to write 1t was: We did
not know enough about 1t to write
statement at that time; and Cur
It's was bright fellow, and after
ward professor in the College OF
physicians and Surgeons. at Chicago
curtis was under some obligation
to Kelley; and so Kelley applied
to him; and he wrote the Patio
logy.' / retained the original copv
for a number of years. / am not sure
II ] have il yet or not.
q. Who wrote the work STYLED
phine Eaters Sensations. Feelings.
age to Freedom" supposed to have
been written by DR.. Leslie Il. Kee-
ley?
A. The chapters on "The Nor
pphin Eaters Sensations. Feelings.
Etc. were written by r.. n. Lewis.
who was then a patient at Dwight.
The rest OF the book Iwrote myself.
At first ii was intended as a literary
venture; and Lewis and G.. L. Pal
mer and I found a partnership TO
put It on the market, Lewis and I
doing the literary work and Palmer
the printing. We published Il and
shortly afterward Kelley made up
his mind that 1t would be a good
Bluefield evening leader. [volume] (Bluefield, W. Va.) 1906-1911, 1909-07-17

thing I'm his own name. He took
the position that. as he was surgeon
OF the Chicago ~ Alton Railroad and
formerly surgeon of the u. S. Army,
it would give more tone and pres
tigc to the business If his name was
used and these titles given; and
furthermore, he was the only doctor
in the party; and so we decided to
call the firm name Leslie r.. Kelley,
NJ. ID. At that time the only
parties in the concern were Kelley,
IIargrayes and Campbell.
q. Well, did you take on any
DO ly else as a partner?
a Yes, sir; when Kelley had
His Office i'm the rear of Seymour's
drug store, Seymour had sum
mer clerk" John r. Oughton. and
just about the time we began this
thing Seymour got through with
OEgAton; and he was about to re-
turn to Chicago to look for another
job. Kelley got the idea that
Oughton Hight be useful to us in
some way; possibly in the labora-
tory; and so Kelley persuaded
Oughton TO remain i'm Dwight, he
Ckeelcy) agreeing to pay Oughton's
board until we could find out wheth-
or the business was going to amount
10 anything or not. At that time
Oughton wasI counting Miss Annie
Nurly, q nio|G of Father Halpin. the
Catholic priest. So he was quite will
ling TO stay on few weeks longer
in Dwight uaturally. After while
are thought il would be necessary to
have Oushton 30 take an interest in
the business, so that he would not
disclose anything connected with the
remedy or the Business to outsiders;
but a. CughtoR had no money, Kee-
l.y Gersu adei Father Halpin to let
Annie Wa rAY put $500 into the
business in OuShton's name, so as
20 give MIN an interest i'm the bust
ness. Annie Murray did 80; and
me money came i'm very handy, by
The way.
O. Wen, tAen. who came in next?
A. After a while we needed more
money. At that time Kelley was put
Ting up the money-not much-but
what there was he put it up. He
used DO say to people that he fur
nish the money, and our Fred"
meaning me, furnished the brains"
But keeley hadn't much money at
all SO it became necessary to get
hhoheN outside. Se'STe locked around
end Kelley persuaded Father Halpin
10 put in $500.
@. Wien did you sever your
connection with the co-paEtnershlp,
II IT has been severed?
A. / think it was i'm 1856.
O. What was the remedy called
at that time?
\. II was always called the Dou-
bic Chloride OF Gold Cure.
Q. Why was it called the Dou-
bic Chloride OF Gold Cure?
A. Well, as | said little while
ago we intended to use gold when
we started out; and we did make a
break at il; and IT was an awful
good name; and Kelley hated to
part wi& the name.
Q. As p matter Of faa. did YOU
use any more gold after your ex-
perience with the sewing machine
agent?
A. No, sir; we hit on another
remedy that did all we ever expect
ed the gold to do; 5hnd it was far
more valuable specific for drunken
ness han gold; and we used that in
place Of gold. Kelley has often said
TO me: What a LUCKY thing we hap
pcned to hit on fHat drug" as II
