First state convention, of the Womens Auxiliary
First state convention, of the Womens Auxiliary of the Keeley League, Dwight, Illinois, June 27-28, 1893. The Keeley Institute was founded in 1879 by Leslie Keeley to treat alcoholics with injections of proprietary components, sometimes called the gold treatment. The shots often made the patient quite sick, during which he was also allowed abundant alcohol, perhaps offering a combination of placebo and aversion therapy. Keeley claimed Drunkenness is a disease and I can cure it
