To THE PUBLIC:-As a:matter of justice to ourselves and to the reputation of Dr Leslie E. Keeley's Double Chloride of Gold Remedies, for the cure of the liquor, opium, morphine, and tobaoco diseases and Neu, rasthenia, we warn the public that these remedies are used by no Institution or saui taruin in the United States except those estabilshed by our company, unt'er the uni. form name of "The Keeley Institute." All othe-s claiming to use Dr. Keeley's Remedies or formuhe are frauds and im posters. The Keeley Institutes established in varl ous parts of the Uni'ed States now number ninety, with three In Europe, where the Keeley' Treatment 1s administered and the Keeley Remedies so!d. We, however, cau. tion all to examine well and know that they are dealing with genuine rpresenta tives, authorized by us, before ta7ing treat ment or purchasing remedies. Ttio misleading establishments use the name of "Bi-Chloride of Gold," or similaj titles. The nowspapqrs often fall to dis criminate sulliciently to know tht they are imitators. This is a matter of public wel fare, and hence this warning. Respectfully, THE LESLIE E. KEELEY Co., CURTIS J. JUDD, Sec. and Treas. DwIGHT, ILL., Dec. 15, 1892.

By means of life in surance, a young man can buy $1,000' or $100,000 by paying less than three per cent. yearly. He thus secures a fortune for his family at once, if he dies, or for himself if he lives twventy years. He secures the principal by paying only the inter-est.
