Cnres and Other Cures.
There are whole lot OF fake treat

cure in three days and soma I'm more
or less time. They often, very often,

have effected permanent cures. the real
whiskey cure has suffered somewhat

Kelley treatment Is the only one cure
This treatment has been in constant and
successful operation for more than thir-

discovered by the late DR. Leslie t.
