Four hun­ dred thousand successful cases attest its merit. The Keeley Treatment is administered only by physicians who have made special study of inebriety. Each patient has a thorough physical examination and the treatment is adapted to the needs of each patient. Inebri­ ety is a disease and must be skilfully and scientifically treated. The proper treatment can only be obtained in a Keeley Institute. The Keeley Treatment removes every ves­ tige of the craving or desire for liquor or drugs, re-invigorates every organ of the sys­ tem and improves the health. The Keeley Treatment produces no nau­ sea, sickness or mental derange­ ment. There is no prostration or collapse. On the contrary, the patient’s physical and mental condition improves from the beginning. It requires no restriction or confinement of patients.

  • City of Biddeford, Maine Open Space Plan
    City of Biddeford, Maine Open Space Plan Biddeford Pool Marshes & Wildlife Habitat Prepared by the City of Biddeford Open Space Committee November 2012 PREFACE When I was first asked to be on the Biddeford Open Space ad-hoc Committee by Marcel Polak of the Maine Association of Conservation Commissions on behalf of then, Mayor Joanne Twomey, I ĞŶƚŚƵƐŝĂƐƚŝĐĂůůLJƐĂŝĚ͞LJĞƐ͘͟ I was reasonably excited but cautiously optimistic. I have a very strong passion for land conservation and my knowledge of the subject is constantly evolving. After the introductions and brief conversations in our first meeting back in January 2009, the topic of the need for a chairperson came up. I now ƌĞĐĂůůĞǀĞƌLJďŽĚLJ͛ƐĞLJĞƐƚƵƌŶŝŶŐƚŽǁĂƌĚŵĞĂŶĚĂƐƚŚĞLJƐĂLJ͞ŝƚŝƐĂůů ŚŝƐƚŽƌLJ͘͟ I graciously accepted and the reality of taking charge of organization, delegation, research, setting meetings and pushing for a draft of the Open Space Plan took hold. Now, close to three years later, and countless number of meetings, walks, and drafts, we have an Open Space Plan for the citizens of Biddeford. As you read through this document, it is fluid and can be modified, added and changed. The data will need to be updated as time goes by. Parcels will be sold, merged, conserved, developed or remain the same. Land is static. dŚŝƐƌĞƉŽƌƚŝƐŐŽŝŶŐƚŽďĞĞůĞĐƚƌŽŶŝĐĂůůLJƌĞƉƌŽĚƵĐĞĚŽŶŝƚLJŽĨŝĚĚĞĨŽƌĚ͛ƐǁĞďƐŝƚĞ where changes can be made. We have had public input and we are looking for more feedback. Biddeford is on the move and adapting to the constant demand of undeveloped space on untapped resources. dŚŝƐŝƐŶŽƚĂƌĞƉŽƌƚŽŶ͞ƐƚŽƉĂůůŐƌŽǁƚŚĂŶĚŬĞĞƉĂůůŐƌĞĞŶ͘͟ It is an inventory, a resource item, and a foundation guide for future land conservation and planning efforts. It is also an outreach to landowners to offer them options on their choice of land use.

THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE MAINE COLONISTS IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES By LINNEA BEATRICE WESTIN A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in History College of Arts and Sciences University of Maine Orono April, 1940 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I Introduction, The Background of the Every­ day Life of the People 1 II The Character of the People 9 III How They Built and Furnished Their• Homes 17 IV The Food They Ate and the Clothes They Wore 29 V Their Customs and Pleasures 38 VI Their Educational Training 48 VII The Religion They Lived 54 VIII The Occupations They Practiced 62 IX Their Crimes and Punishments They Suffered 73 Bibliography 80 140880 PREFACE The everyday life of the colonists who settled in Maine is a field in which very little work has been done as yet* Formerly historians placed the emphasis upon political events and wars; only recently has there been interest taken in all the facts which influence life and make history* The life they lived from day to day, their intel­ lectual, moral and spiritual aspirations, the houses in which they lived, the food they ate and the clothes they wore, the occupations in which they engaged, their customs and pleasures, are all subjects in which we are in­ terested, but alas, the material is all too meagre to satisfy our curiosity* The colonial period in Maine is very hazy and much that we would like to know will remain forever hidden under the broad veil of obscurity.
