chant of Mebane, N. C., who graduated
in ’95, says in a (letter to W. 11. Osborn,
of April 25th, 1897:
“I have no desire to take a drink. I
am thankful to tell you the Treatment
I received at the Keeley Institute and
the effect it has had upon me, has been
the means of making a sober, indus
trious, Christian man of me. I am a
member of the Presbyterian church at
this place. 1 am always ready to tell
anybody the good I received from your
Treatment, and advise them to take it.
I know what the Institute is. I speak
from experience. If I had not gone
there when I did, I would have filled a
drunkard’s grave in six months time.”
