We sometimes sec IN the papers n thrill
Ing account of where perfectly sane per-
son has been confined in an asylum. Think
OF it, readerl How long would you retain
your senses II you were confined with
number of lunatics, night and day, and yet |
think OF the physicians IN charge Of these
patients who are compelled, day by day and |
year by year, to live among them What
wonderful opportunities they have for
studying characteristics and vagaries;
what wonderful chance for learning the
mlseries OF life and how best to overcome
them. .tHF
We are brought to these reflections by q
conversation lately had with DR.. j. G.
Spray, of l63 State Street, Chicago For
nearly ten years Doctor Spray was in
charge of the Jefferson, now Dunning, In.
sttute, at Dunning, Ill. This tremendous
institution contained about twelve hundred
patients in the Insane Department, and IF
teen hundred in the infrmary. Among this
large number of persons there were vast
number of physical ailments. DR.. Spray,
| speaking about it, said:
81 traced the great cause for most Of the
mental and indeed physical disorders very
carefully, and while some authorities make
an estimate that seventy-fye per cent. of
the people in the United States are afflicted
with some form of kidney disease, do not
think that the rate is so high, taking all
ages into consideration. Before middle life
it is less than seventy-hve per cent but
after middle life it is, should think, fully
that percentage"
'This is something terrible, Doctor. Few
| people can certainly be aware that so large
a percentage exists2"
The Doctor thought O moment and then
said: ut is fact not generally recognized
that where person has diseased kidneys
and the organs fail to perform their funo-
tons of removing the waste and the i'm
purities from the system, it soon produces
melancholia AS result our asylums are
filled to overflowing, while if the people
would strike at the root of the matter and
see that their kidneys were in good order,
there would be fewer patients in the asy-
lums. have noticed that large portion
Of all paresis cases had kidney difficulties :"
"What have you found, Doctor, to be the
standard and most reliable remedy in such
casesm
DR. Spray spoke with great confidence.
He said: "Having so many cases to treat,
tried various remedies, and after long
and exhaustive trial, finally decided that
