' " VICTIMS Of DRUG HABIT V FIND PERMANEilT CVRE Mit\ Once Addicted to Morphine Tells How - ,,x Keeley Remedy Cave Permanent Freedom. ,v '|t " Addiction to drugs, like the desire for'. •••At* Strong: drink, has beeq found to be a disease ii that can be permanently cured by theKeeley treatment. More than 400,000 men liave been freed from drug and liquor habits by this treatment during the past thirty-five years. / . As a rule the friends or relatives of these men persuaded them to take treatment be­ cause they were convinced, although some- times the victim was not, that the liquor or drug addiction bad reached the disease stage and required the relief to be found in a Keeley Institute. These men, permanent­ ly restored to lives of health, decency and prosperity, frequently write letters in the hope of helping others. Here is one of th£& Sandusky, Ohio, January 2, 1913, , Editor Banner of Gold: > It Is very nearly twenty-on6 years since I left the Keeley Institute, cured of morphine addiction. I was truly cured, and the twenty-one years proves that the cure was permanent as well as effective. When I left Sandusky in June, 1892, for Dwlg-ht, I was so low from morphine that I did not think ot ever returning to my home alive. But after about six weeks' treatment at the Keeley Institute I got all right, and am still in that condition, and have no desire for morphine. Not only was I cured, but I saw hundreds of .patien}* there who were cured. Borne may think that I am saying this to help along the Keeley Cure. Well, that is partly true, and they de­ serve it. But I am also, thinking of some others, who may be suffering as I did from the morphine habit, and who may be looking for help, but do not know where to find it. To all such I would say there is no place to go ex­ cept to the Keeley Cure. 1 had tried many ways to get out of the habit, but could not. The doctors' medicine made me worse all the time until I got into" the hands of the doctors at Dwight. They brought me around all right. There is no need for anyone to suffer from drug-using; but one must go to the right place for treatment. . I recently spoke to a certain doctor in this city who had been cured of morphine addiction at the Keeley In­ stitute. He was aDwight a short time before I was and I asked him what he thought of Ahe Keeley Cure. "Well," he said "thpre is a great deal of humbug in medicine and treatment; but the Keeley Cure Is not a humbuaf. Of that I am convinced." Ttet doctor looks well and happy. Some time ago I received a letter from a friend who was at the Institute when t was. He thinks if it wwe not 'tor that cure he would not De among: the living, and that is just my case. If it had not been for the Keeley Outre I would have 'been in my grave Ion* ago. Tours truly, (15) P. KBNER, .
