There are many limitations and substitutes
for the famous "Keeley Cure" Many Of
these claim to be "tust the same" as the
Keeley treatment.
All such claims are absolutely false.
The genuine Keeley remedies can be had
oply IN the Kelley Institute and Its branches,
OF which there are one or more In almost
every state.
We have imitators, but no rivals. No
other method or treatment produces these
perfect and lasting results.
The Kelley remedies can only be obtained
