Today the Appeal has an article on the Keeley Institute in Carson City, which was a branch of a nationwide chain that promised to cure alcoholism by injecting mystery chemicals into your body. There’s also a look ahead to next week’s Victorian Christmas Tour, where several west side historic homes open their doors to visitors. The tour is Sunday, Dec. 14 from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets can be had at the Foreman-Roberts House Museum and other locations for $12.
