-M liclllKi J 4 -';C 1 'mmm! .; . La Dr. MeEanna's Claims of tlikSttp Ove the ermic erous ment Dang Hvood ' I elaim that I etn.ktU the desire Jor bqnor in three days, and rehabilitate the patient in from one to four weeka, ty tonic treatment. This claim haa been questioned by aoealled liquor doctors and institutions, in my opinion, for the eole reason, If they cannot keep their patienU in their aanitarium for J. for two or three montha thay would probably lose, a large part of their earn Ingl I haTe always claimed that the giv ' ing of tbe proper medicine through the atomach is the only way to effect cure, and that all other treatmenta, by hyperdomk injection or otherwise, aw Inefficient. vTh following extracte from the evidence in tbe case of the Leslie E. Keeley Company, of Dwijjht, III Inoia, vs. the Memphis Keeley Institu tion. at ala.. N'i. 16I. tn the Circuit Court of Appeal, Sixth District, will show that the Court held, that the said Dwight Company was COMMIT TING A FRAIT) ON" THE PUBLIC. The .Tmirnal of. the American Medi ral Association, of November 30, 1007, December 7, 1M7, publishes the follow ing as a part of the proceedings in said suit. v (The reader will bear in mind that this it not my statement., but proceed ings of the Court in the hearing of the case, and we have an original brief in our possession which the public can set Vpon r'ouesr.) Frederick R. Ilargraves, of F.vanxton. Illinois, aged 57 years, a traveling talesman, answered ipiestions as follows: Question. Were you ever connected with tiie Italic K. Keeley gold euro for drunkenness, nrurasthenia, opium, tobacco habit, etc? Answer. Yes, sir. Q. When were you connected with that institution and where A. My first connection with the in stitution was in 100 at Dwight, III. Q, What was tha nature of that eon- nMtni 1 ; A. Well, it whs the very origin of the business; it was the beginning of ihe business its first Inception. , Q. Please, state bow the business originated; about when and all in that eonnectior. ' A. Well, that would make quite a , statemenr. v- - '" Q. Well, just state how you came to be connected with it, and all about its origin as briefly as possible. " A. Well, thst is going back a long time, Mr. Keely; all I can do is to simply tell it as I remember it. It wss in die spring of IfWO.'if my recollection serves me right, I think it was in the spring of 1 (WO, I was on the lecture platform as a state, lecturer in temper ance work. When I would return to Dwight, from a trip I always made it point to call on I)r. Keeley and have a aocial chat with him, as we were great friends. On one of these occasions I told the doctor about a mutual friend ef ours at Cheona, 111., named Dr. Dodd, a very prominent veterinary surgeon of "Clifcago. " I told Dr. Keeley it was a pity that Dodd had to rusticate in Cheona on account of his drinking; that the pledge did not do him any good, and H was a pity we could not do something in some other way to set him right for good. We then compared notes, and I told Dr. Keeley I only knew of one thing that was recommended as s sum cure for the whisky habit; and hn knew of the same thing-, and wa wondered if It would do any good In this case. We bad a general conversation at that time on the subject. On my return from .the next lecture trip, I called on Dr. 'Keeley again, as usual; he told me he bad tried the remedy and had gotten good resulte from it. I very much doubted tbia and told him it si-emod like a big story, but he aaid it wns aaaily demonstrated -, that he would get . . r i . . I mmitj, a weu Known aaioon-Keeper l t Iwighi, to take tha remedy and test i it lr - j it . x . . , ... t e hj mai i mi wouia lane any- thing be asked bint to take, se ba fixed .up a bottla and gave it to Conafry; and In a few day be lost bis desire for b'ouor, and could not drink any at the end of about a week. He, however, made - strong efforts, and one Sunday got a drink to stick and got gloriously drunk and would not take any mora medicine. , The teat, bowerer, waa aufRcient for toe, and tbat was the origin of the, cure . bdeinesa. " f Q. Did - ym and.' Mr. Campbell at tempt to advertise or introduce thia -'remedy? ; A. Yes; the first thing we decided to do waa to exploit it at Blooming , toa-1 At that time Keeley bad bis office in the rear of Seymour's drug store. Campbell and I, went down to Blooming toe and rented a room in tba Ashley bote, and began to advertise ' for ' pa- tfents; and made an attempt to pu tbe cure on the market there; and 1 think' we were gone a month altogether; and in the meantime Keeley had decided to cut loose and go into business in full shape; and so he rented the old printing office on West street, which wa used as office of tha cure. Q. Well, wbat were the reaulta at Bloomlngton? A. We had a rather bad experienoe at Blooraington. We found it difficult to get people to take the remedy. It was a new thing, you understand; and people were skeptical: and we found it very hard work to persuade anyone to try it. We did get one patient, nowever, a man called Dalliba, a sewing-machine agent. I remember the name, because it was the only one wa bad there. Q. Well, how did you treat him, and what was tbe result? A. Well, we gave him the tonic remedv and were trying cold pills. We did not know anything about gold or what effect it would have especially, and ere only experimenting. Wc had not given it to Conafry or Caniplx-11. We bad simply given the tonic preparation Keeley and I had ftst decided on; BUT I WILL EXPLAIN THAT WE REAL IZED THAT THAT WAS ONLY A SOBF.RINO UP PROCESS ANY WAY, AND THAT WE MUST HAVE SOME THIXO BETTER Til AX THAT AS A SPfCIFIC FOR THE LIQUOR HABIT; THAT IS HOW WE CAME IX) TRY (fOIJ). Q. Well, how did you try it; and in what form ? A. Well, we nine it to the patient in pill form-, uinl came near killing the poor fellow. We bad a bad time with him. Keeley had to come down two or three times; end we finally had to ntoii it. At one time Keeley sent jr'd powders In place of the j(ol pillx. Q. Well, what was the kind of gold you used on this patient! A. (. hloride of "gold and sodium. Q. Well, what' did you do then ? A. 1 returned to Dwurht and fomid Keeley in the old printing office; and we then decided to advertise and try to make something out of the remedy if we could. We then decided to get out a circular after it good deal of discus sion. It sounds almost amusing at this wtage of the game to say we had a lengthy di-K-ussion as to whether or not we should spend 2.1 on the circular. Finally Keeley said: "Ul her go." So we got out our first cirrular; and then to the best of my recollection, we called the firm namew "Uslie E. Keeley, M. D." When Keeley Mnslly decided to jio into the business fully be wanted everything in his own name. . He took the position that, as he was surgeon of the Chicago and Alton Railroad and formerly sur geon of the United States Army, it would give more tone and prestige to the business if his name was used and those titles given; and furthermore, he waa the only doctor in the party; and so wa decided to call the firm name "I,cs lle E. Keeley, M. D." At that time the (ml y parties in tbe roneern were Keeley, Ilargraves and. Campbell. Q. Well, did you take on anybody else as a partenr? A. Yes, sir; when Keeley had his oflice in the rear of Seymour's drug store, Seymour had u "summer clerk," John K. -(highton; and Just about the time we began this thing Seymour got through with Oughton; and he was" about to, return to .Chicago to hx.k for another job. K.eb-y got the idea that Oughton miht be- useful to us in some way; possibly in tbe laboratory; aud so Keeley persuaded (highton to re main, in Dwight, he (Keeley) agree ing t. pay Oughton's Uisrd until we could find out whether tbe business was going to amount to anything or not. At that time Oughton was court ing Mis Annie Murray, a niece of Father 11.1. . 1 i '. . i i. ..... .siikmic priest. ro he waa 'I"'1 willing to sUy on a few weeka 1 - i . . .. ... '"Kr J'wij;ni, nnmrsiiy. Alter a while we ttouglit it would he necea sary to have Oughton to take an inter est in the business, so tbat he would not disclose anything connected with tha remedy or the business to outsid' ers; but, as Oughton had no money, Keeley persuaded Father Halpin to let Annie Murray hI Mt0 into the buai- n... ( L. . . . jnu)ii name, ao as to give bim an intret in the buslhess. Annie Mnrrey did so; and tbe money came in very bandy, by tbe way. , Q. Well, who came in next? A. After a while we needed more money. At tbat time Keeley was put ting up the money not much-but .K-lAtbaWaaa-W-ptttfprJlv-nsed to aay to people that he fumUhad the wney, and "our Fred," meaning me, furnishes the braina," But. Keeley badat much money at alL "6o tt La- came necessary to gpt moncy.outBiae. So we looked around and Keeley persuaded Father Halpln to put in $500. When did you sever your con nection' with tba copartnership, if it baa been severed? A. I think it was in 1886. ', Q. What waa tbe remedy called at that timet ., Ar-It was aiways-ralled the Doable Chloride of Gold Cure. Q. Why waa it called , the Double Chloride of Gold Ourt? A. Wall, aa I aaid a little while go, we intended to use gold when wa started out; and we did make break at.it; and it waa an awful good namaj and Keeley hated to part with the name Q. As a matter of fact, -did you use any more gold after your experience with the sewing-machine agent t A. No, sir; we bit on another rem cdy that did all we ever expected the gold to do; and it waa a far mora val uable specific for dtunlJfnneas. than gold; and we uaed that in place of gold. Keeley haa often said to me: ""What a lucky thing we happened to hit on that drug," aa it aaved further experi ments and waa not dangerous. Q. Was there any gold or aodium in tbia remedy! A. There Is gold in everything, Mr. Kelly. There is gold in mud; there is a trace of gold. I know Keeley would often say: "There i a trace of gold anyway in it; and that is enough." Q, Was the chloride of gold and sodium used as a part of the medicine after the seining-machine agfiit inci dent? A. I do not think we used gold af ter the sewing-machine agent's case, and certainly not after we bad been in business a few montha. Q. I believe you consulted and dis continued its use and substituted an other drug? A. Yes, but I can not remember just when that was; but it was within a few months of the time we first started the business. - - Q. Why was the name double chlo ride of gold continued on the bottles, labels and advertisements! A. Well, because Keeley claimed it was a very -effective name to use im pressive it would impress the people it was a good thing to use, Q. Did the .physicians believe in tbe efficacy of gold at tbe time double chloride of gold ! " A. At that time gold waa not need aa a medicine to an extent; it has been used more since than at any time be fore. . ; Q. What was the nature of .that cir cular you got out, and who", wee its author? A. "OW It was a statement from me, aa 'vice-president of the Illinoia State Temperance League, calling attention to the discovery of the remedy; and a gen eral atatement of tha remedy and its effects,-and tha main part waa testimo nials. ; i- -. f " Q. Were these testimonials from per sorts who had taken the remedy f - A. Why. no; I think we had one from Campbell no other. . - Q. What waa the nature of tbe tes timonials? : - t - A. They were testimonials from doc tors and other people, claiming they had been cured. : . b. Were they trual f ..' JL Ohtlno j manufactured - for the purpoae.. -Q. V Do flrou know .General , Wil- longbbyt , ' A. I know Willoughby, Q. Did you have testimonial from bim? - ; ; A. So; I think tbat waa later tha game. . ;-- -- , -. . How did be aigir-bia ame-l A. A. P. Willoughby. Q. How waa .he advertised T . in - A. Why, Willoughby came, down there and wanted to get control of sev eral atatea. Wa agreed to let him have so many atatea if he would buy so much medicine and ao many pamphlets. - We had the pamphlets printed at Dwight, Q. 'His testimonials wera signed Gen. A. P. Willoughby! A. That was on the backa of the pamphleta bis name' and address it waa only one of Keeley'a freaks-that waa all." Q. Why was he called general! A. Oh, that waa simply thia wayi When I came to make out the copy for that address on the back of the pam phlet, I put it down A. P. Willoughby. Keeley said, "Gen. A. P. Willoughby." "He wasn't a general," I aaid. Keeley said, "Yes, he is "General Agent;' and . - ,i , , .-'v. - : - 1 .... -m ' ,v.-t;- ; . . . ; ; ,,. x ''"'.:". - , ' 1 -! 1TKAITNA SANITARIUM, REIDSVILLE, If. C it sounds bettcf ;wand so the pamphlets were printed that way. Q. What were your duties, Mr. Har graVea, in the company? A. I waa correspondent and literary man ; the advertising man might call myself the general publicity man, - Q. Who, then, wrote these testimo nials set out in the pamphlets in the ones referred to Just now. Were those written by Dr. Keeley I A. You mean those representing pa tients cured ! :. 0- . Yea. A. Oh, those . were Keeley's inven tions. Q. How was that managed? A Why, he simply got them up. Q. JiiBt' wrota' the testimonials and signed "the men's names to them! A. Oh, yes; he said they were friends of hia; and would not go back on it. He eaid we must have some thing to make a showing with. You must remember, we wera in pretty hard linea at that time. We were not "lying on flowery beda of eaae." Q. Those testimonials would, repre sent parties as taking the treatment and being cured by it, when, aa a matter of fact, they had not taken the treatment at all? ' , ' ;::-. r A. Oh, no; they , had .not, taken the treatment. '; " Q, Now, what waa the nature of the literature that you wrote, Mr. Har-swt-r"-r,t-V--:---'iiv---'4: A. Why, I think I wrote all the lit erature written with a few. exceptions. . . Whose name was signed' to all the literature? Y-" T;-"-!r'"-"'r",;"T 1 TA. Ltalie E. Keeley, M. D. ' Q. . Waa Dr. Keeley a literary man; could ha write articles?; ,i . : A. Oh, na; no one ever accused him of being able to. . .: . 'J;?'- Q. Who wrote the "Pathology of Drankenneaa," -claimed by Dr. Keeley ? A. It waa written, byDrLJRt JvCur tie, of Joliet. Q. .Was it aubmitted to anj of the Arm? - t v ' ' -X Only, tw'Kaalay; and myself.. - Q. Waa - Dr. Keeley'a name algned to itt ' '.. ' v : ' A.- Oh, certainly; the reason wa got Curtis to write it waat Wa did not know enough about It to write a atate ment at that time; and Curtie waa a bright fellow, and afterward a professor in the College of 'Physicians and Sur aeons, at Chicago. Cutie was under some obligation to Keeley, and ao Kee ley applied to him, and he wrote the 'pathology." I retained the original copy for a number of years.'' I am not sure if I have it yet or not. -" . Q. Who wrote the worlt styled "The Morphine later, or From Bondage to Freedom, supposed to have been writ ten by Dr.' Leslie E. Keeley t ' A. The chapters on Ths Morphine Eater's Sensations, Feelings," etc., were written by E. X. Lewis, who was then a patient at Dwight. The rest of the book I wrote myself. "At jlrst it was intended as a literary venture; and Lew is and C I Palmer and I formed a part nership to put it on the market, Lewis end I doing the literary work andPal-. mer the printing. We published it, and shortly afterward Keeley made up hia mind that it would be a good thing for the firm to use as an advertisement; and so the Keeley firm bought the copyright, and ye afterward printed it and gave it away aa an advertisement, purporting to be written by Leslie . Keeley, M. D.,"' but he never wrote a word of it that I kn.ew.of. Q.' Wellj when yoti first began treat ing patients at Dwight, did you treat at Dwight or away from there! ,A.. .They were treated by correspond ence, entirely lQr: ; - v y' r--: -'- Q.JHow waa that .managed ! J ArWhy, at first we simply sold it as a "patent medicine," yon know. That waa all we ever expected to do at that time, but after a while I got np a se ries of treatment blanks; and when we shipped a package of the "remedy" to a msn, I would have sent to him so many bbinks and ao many self -addressed envelopes of .the firm; and would aak him to send us a blank filled out cover ing every, two days of the treatment. It was a very pretty plan. 1 - Q. Did you aubmit these blanks to DrVLKeeleyf 2r''.?C77TT'-". .V A. Oh, no; sirrrply handled them my self, and when through with them filed away. I never consulted Keeley except In a few important eases. "- T . Q. Well, when did you begin treat ing them at Dwight? . , A. (I should aay in addition to that last question that 1 wrote, the directions for taking the liquor cure, and waa per fectly familiar with the formula and all details of the, business.) - Well, wa had been Jin business aome few years "can not say exactly without referring to rec ordsit was four yeara ' probably and found q,uite number of cases .did not get cured by the home treatment-rnotb-ing surprising In that; and so we hit on a plan of getting patients to come to Dwight; and we would write and tell a ; mai "i that ' there were : peculiarities abont bis case which were not amenable to home treatment, and that If ha would come on to Dwight and put himself nhder tba personal rara of Dr. Keeley, we could give hia ease tha attention it needed. That waa the origin ef the "In atitute treatment." I think we charged them about $10 week; or such a mat ter. .'.-.' c "' - -x -Q. - Waa the medicine internal at that tit . - ......;;. ;A.Yev sir:, Q. . What did you charge for tne noma treatmeat ? . --,'. ;. A. $9 a pair for the liquor cure; $10 for the. opium; $5 for the tobacco; $3 for the neurasthenia, which last after ward raised to $3, because we thought a man would give $8 for it juat as qnlek as he would give $3. , .. ...-. Q. WHEN DID THE r. HYPODEfi MIC tXJECTION ORIGINATE, 'HOW and why? : "" A. THAT IS VERY SIMPLE; AF TER A FEW PATIENTS CAME TOR TREATMENT, WE FOUND IT VERY DirnCULT TO HOLD THEM, ' AS mVTGHT WAS A LITTLE MVPDY, OUT-OF-THE-WAY VTLLAOE OF 1300 INHABITANTS, WITH NO ATTRAC TIONS, NOTHTNO. TO DO OR SEE AND NOWHERE TO GO; AND A CITY MAN " WOULD GET TIRED OUT IN TWO OR THREE DAYS AND WANT TO GO HOME; AND WE TRIED GIV IXq -THEM WALKS, HAVTNO- THEM WALK UP TO THE FIRST CROSSING. OF THE RAILROAD AND BACK, AND FINALLY KEELEY THOUGHT OF THE idea of Grraa THEM A SPECIFIC OBJECT TQ ENGAGE THEIR ATTEN TION SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, AND HE DECIDED TO GIVE THE HYPO DERMIC INJECTION FOUR TIMES A DAY, AND MADE IT OBLIGATORY ON THE PATIENTS TO .REPORT FOUR TIMES A DAY FOR THE PUR POSE OF TAKING HYPODERMIC IN JECTIONS, BO AS TO CREATE AN IMPRESSION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS TREATMENT ON THEM. , Q. tHAT WAS THE NATURE OF THE HYPODERMIC INJECTION? Ar-IT WAS SIMPLY IN THE NA TURE OF A PLACEBO AND HAD NO MEDICAL EFFECT, AND WAS NOT INTENDED TO HAVE ANY MED ICAL EFFECT.. ITAFTERWARDS DEVELOPED, HOWEVER, THAT IT WAS JtpVlS.ABLEf TO; USE - A MED ICATED FORM OF INJECTION. f Q. WHAT IS A PLACEBO ? A. OH, DID I USE A LATIN WPRD? PLACEBCUlT MEANS TO SATISFY. V- ;- " v ., . Q. WHAT COMPOSED THE HYPO' DERMIC INJECTION FIRST ? j A. OH, NOTHING PARTICyLARLY j DISTILLED WATER, PERHAPS. 0. WHAT COMPOSED THE HYPO DERMIC INJECTIONS AFTERWARD! A. AFTERWARD WE USED DIF FERENT FORMS OF MEDICATION, AND I REMEMBER ONE PARTICU LAR CASE WHERE A MAN HAD BEEN TAKING INJECTIONS FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND HAD NOT SEEN ANY DIFFERENCE AS TO THEHt EFFECTS AND HIS CONDI TION; AND HE FINALLY COM PLAINED TO KEELEY THAT THE INJECTIONS WERE ,NO GOOD, AND HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THEM. SO THE NEXT DAY KEELEYXJAVE HIM AN INJECTION WITH SOMETHING IN IT, AND THE MAN DIDN'T HAVE IT MORE THAN A MINUTE OR TWO BEFORE 4TE FELT- IT, AND SAID. "MY GOD,-KEELEY, WHAT HAVE YOU GrVEN ME KEELEY RE PLIED: "I WANT YOU' TO. UNDER- STAND THAT THIS IS A CUMULA TIVE REMEDY. YOU SAID YOU HADN'T FELT IT, BUT NOW 1 YOU FEEL IT, DO YOU!" ;; ' ' v 0, WHAT WAS THE NATURE OF TOE INJECTION HE GAVE HIM AT THAT TIME? .t,f-(rv- -i- . A. WELL, I SHALL "DECLINE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, MR. Q. WAS IT GOLD! f A. NO, IT WAS NOT GOLD; I WILL STATE THAT MUCH. - tl Q. BUT IT. WAS AN INJECTION THAT HE WqULD FEEL IMMEDI- A7ELY! V ; , . - . .. OH, YES. 2 ' Wr -: r -WHAT SENSATION 1 DID THE MAN COMPLAIN OF AFTER HE HAD TAKEN, THE INJECTION YOU HAVE JUST SPOKEN OF? . . - A WHY, I DO NOT ' REMEMBER JUST EXACTLY; IT MADE HIM KIND OF. DIZZY, AND HE FELT THAT HE HAD GOTTEN SOMETHING IN HTM. Q. Did they, give patients In tbe In jection morphine or atropin! V:.:.'.1-.'- ' A. Oh, yes; they alwaye gave Mor phine to morphine patients. J , ' 'r v - Q, ' Did they give atropin to whiaky patients? -.r. , -;',;v; .,-' A. I decline to answer that. - ' Q. Did you give any morphine injec tions to tha whisky patieata to produce sleep or rest? A. I do not think we did.' If we did, it was a very rare occurrence. Q. Vhen did. this firm begin the cure ef tbe opium habit, and haw 'did that coml a bout I i .. ; v .' 'A. WslVyou aea," Treaanot remambar - the data. It ws fsw months after, beginning the liquor euro that we earns to tha conclusion, Keeley and I, tbat- ner J?8 tgh people that wanted ; to be cure, of the liquor habit to make it a prottable business. . You were having a hard time to make It go then, and we decided it would be a good idea to add aa opium. eve. 4We knew, there were two or three opium cures in the country making money and so wa 1 decided to add the opium cure. The only ' trouble about it was neither of as knew anything about It. At tbat time Keeley " was ; continuing his private practios, ; which , waa absolutely necessary in Order : to make aa much money as ha could, aa ' the businesa wasn't making any. And ,' so I went to work, and collected all the literature I could , find bearing on tha K: ;' 3JS 'Bd mlla" careful and exbaue. : tive studv of tb . j--... wmmm Hiwif MIHW habits. Every night Keeley and I would get. together in tha office and; I would ' go over my researches with him. Soma times I would drive out In the country " tth , him . when ' ha went to see hia patienU, so that we could talk it over. And after wo had gotten something like - a definite knowledge of tha opium and . morphine habit, the question was what we -should use first aa an antidote. 'We experimented with a great many drugs' before wa finally . got " a mixture .wa .. . thought would be of any use as a euro'. . for the morphine habit, but even after we got to using it, it was all experimen tal for quite a long time, and we kept changing it from time to time, " ' Q. Waa there any gold In that prep- ' aration salts of gold chloride of gold' double chloride of gold and sodium in that preparation? : ' A. Oh, no; .nothing ef tha kind. There --' were none of those things In the prep aration. Double chloride of gold ia simply a, technical name, It simply means tha two chlorides 'of gold and sodium. Q.
