Bedal of Blair, this state, had ed o cure for inebriety or deunkenness, und wis about to enter upon # venture in the direction of an institut its andminis- tration. A B wive, in order to nscertain just what therve was in these rumors, ran up to Blair yesterday Dr. Bedel was found in his oftice, and judging from the busy way in which he was engaged it was readily that from some cause or othor his duties wore much more nuy ous than ordinarily. Ho is n man of pleasunt munners and address, has for many years hold the front runk in his profession, and it ve- Guired no lengthy conversation to vevenl the fact that he was a gentleman of wide scholarship and expericnee, and that he has enjoyed an extensivo practice and large suecess, o taiked feankly and confidently on the subjeet in hand, and in ¢ stated that he had spent many years in the study of the matter. I have no wish, ? said hey “to instituteany compurisons between my own and othetr systems, successful or otherwise, but I do claim that my medicine containg cuentive qualitics hitherto un- known, and wum demonsteating this fact everv day I do not in- tend to methods or mulus; but simply say that 1 have got an abso- y cffectinl for dipsomaniu, and kindred disease nd have already done enoush essful work to estab- lish this fact incontrovertibly. " Is it trae, doctor, that you are to extend the base of your obser il so, what will be the uature venture! Yes sir. consisti busines: B rese dircuss cure s hout ations; of your A company has been formed of en of first class ability aud standing, who will put «all the money into it neczisury to make it a ‘success, and we intend to set up such an estab- lishment as will enuble us to attend to whatever business may come to us, and in the specdiest, most satisfactory and cconomical way to our patients, This will be an institute containing all the modera conveniences for the better care of patient After along and interesting talk with the doctor The B man went on a lit- tle investigating expedition of his own, T. W. Kell prominent local man, s a patient whom it was claimoed had been cured of incbricty by De. Bedai, and he was found and talked to. e said: For some years whisky has been getting the better of me, and it has been & hard fight for me to devise w and means of ridding myself of the habit. It has caused me much mental torture and many slcopless nights, and at last I could find ease and ped nowhere unless I had whisky me. I saw that it was a grace o my family aid ruination for me if T did not quit, but how was that to be done? That was the question. Well, one day I brought in a sick neighbor to Dr. Bedal, and_in speaking of my own condition the doctor mentioned his treatment, and [ at once determined to pluce myself in his hands. 1 did so, and [ am proud to sy am toduy a cured ma. iam perfectly free from that forme stible eraving, have an enormous wppetite, sleen as soundly any man and feel as if [ had been granted a new lease on life.” 5. . Mebain, a carringe painter, and another patient, was seen. He told the reporter that ho was cured and happy He said he had been a hard drink off and on for fifteen years, but is satisfiecd now that he is thor- oughly eured. Just prior to subject- ing himself to Jedal’s treatment MeLain had been on o prolonged drunk hich had left him totally unfitted for work of any deseription and with no am- bition but that of whisky, and the more he could get of it the better he was satistied. Toduy he says he is willing to stuke his life that he is free of the habit fove There is a healthy glow in his \oeks, cyes bright, voice clear and steady, and is as strong and vigorous s at any stage of his manhood, that he can recall, He is at work and declares that he expeviences no inclination whatev towards the old appetite, in fact the mere mention of whisky is repugnant to him. MecLain is certainly a fino speci- men of all that is claimed for Dr. Be- dal’s wonderful treatment. In addition to the above thé re- porter talked with C. P. Fitch of this city, P. Stewart, Blair; A, Anderson, Council Bluffs and a number of other patients, all of whom were enrnest and cuphatic in thewr corroboration of the forogoing statements, in so far us their own cases went, As an dence of the worth of the Bedal sure it may not be amiss to state here that the Bedalcompuny disvosed of the right to use theiv cure in the state of lowa yesterday to a syndicate of At- lantie capitalists and business men, who will establish an institute on an elabo- rate scale for that city. The price paid for this right was not stated. but it was gathered from outside partios that it tooted up to a most comfortable sum. The company is also in receipt of offers from various points, and the evidence is that the Bedal treatment many months is to become one of the best. if not the very best, known. In conclusion it might be well to state also that the doctor guarantees uperfect and permancnt cure, and to parties flicted with the curse of the intemperate habit the advice is tendered that it will cost but a trifle tomake the trip to Blair and but a brief time to look into the teustworthiness of all these extraor- dinary claims, The manner of adminis- tration can he witnessed and any num ber of patients found who are ever ready, even anxious, to attest to their absolute faith in the potency and effee- tiveness of the treatment, Dr. Bedal is receiving applications by mail and i person every day, and it is evident the Bedal company will shortly have its hands full. e COMMENCING YOU 18 see Boys of a Tender Age New Youk, Nov. 14.—A band of juvenile burglars has been discovered in Loug Island city through the confession of one of their members, Charles Blackham, who is about 13 years oid.
