Intoxicating liquors but also not to marry men who indulge In liquor S The secret of the Keeley cure is out The revelation Is a direct result of the murder of his wife by Daniel Werling The evidence was givgA before a nqJ z gj tary public and the testimony is that of Dr Wills the proprietor of the hospital and who it was gave the treatment to the murderer The treatment as stated by Dr Wills consist of an internal remedy composed com-posed of simple tonics and a system of hypodermic treatment In the latter f lat-ter four solutions are used Three of these are put up by the physicians I in the various institutes They are composed of pilocarpine and mor phia The fourth solution is the one that has been guarded so carefully and has been known as bichloride of gold There is no gold in it says Dr Wills The drug is hyoscyamine I is from the plant hyoscyamus or henbane as i is called The treatment Dr Wills stupidity testified produces languor and at times loss of memory and a dazed condition One of its important effects is increased blood pressure This the testimony shows is particularly partic-ularly dangerous when persons have fatty degeneration of the heart and under certain conditions of the blood vessels and circulatory system C S C I She stood by a door that was festooned with flowers While the sound of the waltz floated lazily la-zily through And young bloods of fashion and maids with fat dowers Stood watching us while I was tying her shoe She woro a red stocking soft delicate silk Her ankle just turned to perfection yea two And the edge of her petticoat whiter than milk I saw and I trembled when tying her shoe I Ah me for the days of young love and young life For the days when my cares were both trifling and few Just seven long years Ive been calling her wife And now think I a bore when Im tying ty-ing her shoe Tom Hall e The testimony given above is stoutly denied by the Keeley institute people who declare that there are only three persons on earth who are in the secret of the Keeley cure C CS The most astounding revelation is that given by Samuel O S L Potter Pot-ter M R C P formerly acting assistant as-sistant surgeon United States army and brigade surgeon National Guard of California late professor of theory and practice of medicine in the Cooper I I Medical college of San Francisco Cal and visiting surgeon to St Lukes hospital author of a handbook I of Matera Medico Pharmacy and I Theurapeutics and other standard books He says I S SC I Since taking charge of the Home for inebriates two years and four months ago I have had over 100 cases of alcoholic subjects in my charge who had relapsed into alcoholism after af-ter taking the Keeley and other so called gold cures Of these sixty two were inmates of this institute Fully ninetenths of the number were insane and now are in the insane asylum asy-lum Their insanity was always in the form of intermittent mania due to chronic cerebral congestion brought on by the atropine or hy 1 oscianine which is an ingredient of the socalled gold cure I This deadly poison atropine was with strychnine the basis of the original ori-ginal Keeley injection but lately the manufacturer has replaced the strychnine strych-nine by brucine from the same plant nux vomica and the atropine by hy oscianine which is practically the same coming from another member of the same family of plants and aleo causing acute mania You ci obtain similar information from the regular inebriates home in eastern cities viz The Franklin Home of n Philadelphia the Washington Home of Chicago the Washington Home of Boston and the Home of Fort Hamilton Ham-ilton New York I consider as a result of my pro fesional experience that any person who has taken the Keeley hypodermic Injections is insane unless strong evi dnece to the contrary show that he or she has been able to resist the baneful influence of that treatment C SC Turning to another topic however I want to say that Mayor Baskin has the most level head of any man connected con-nected with the city government and he showed it when he refused to suspend sus-pend Chief Devine pending an examination ex-amination into the charges recently prf < Y > TTed asrninst him bv the members of his department The time to suspend sus-pend an official is when he has been proven guilty It is unfair to suspend sus-pend a man keep him under the ban of suspicion for weeks at a time and then try him only to find out that the charges were groundless It is unfair to the man because he should not be suspended unless there is good reason very good reason to believe that his conviction is beyond the possibility possi-bility of a doubt it is not fair to the city to deprive it of the services of an official for weeks at a time and then discover that he must be reinstated rein-stated with full pay for doing nothing noth-ing The example set by the mayor is one that might be profitably copied by the heads of other departments However to one on the outside there seems to be but one solution to the present trouble in the fire department depart-ment If Chief Devine is guilty as charged he should be relegated to private life if he is not guilty then I take it there will be several vacancies vacan-cies in the present payroll of the department de-partment and justly so The present turmoil is dangerous it is prejudicial to the best interests of the taxpayers whose servants the firemen chief and allare and it must be stamped out no matter who is the author or what position he occupies I |
