Of these only thirty had relapsed, the others giving great promise of recovery.
The Philadelphia institution, known as the "FRANKLIN REFORMATORY HOME FOR INEBRIATES," has been in existence over five years.

It was organized in April, 1872.

In this institution intemperance is not regarded as a disease, which may be cured through hygienic or medical treatment, but as _a sin, which must be repented of, resisted and overcome through the help of God_.

In order to place the inebriate, who honestly desires to reform and lead a better life, under conditions most favorable to this work of inner reformation and true recovery, all the external associations and comforts of a pleasant home are provided, as with the two institutions whose record of good results has just been made.

Its administrative work and home-life vary but little from that of the Homes in Boston and Chicago.
