We sometimes see in the papers a thrilling ac-
count of where a perfectly sane person has been
confined in an asylum. Think OF 1t, readerl
How long would you retain your senses fyou
were confined with o 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 a
wonderful chance for learning the miseries of
life and how best to overcome them.
we are brought to these reflections by a con-
versation lately had with DR.. J. G. Spray, OF 1853
State Street, Chicago. For nearly ten years
Doctor Spray was in charge of the Jefferson, now
Dunning, Institute, at Dunning, Ill. This tre-
.mendous institution contained about twelve
hundred patients in the Insane Department, and
fifteen hundred in the infrmary. Among this
large number of persons there were a vast num-
ber of physical ailments. DR.. Spray. speaking
about it, said:
..Itraced the great ca use for most of the men
tai and indeed physical disorders very carefully,
and while some authorities make an estimate
that seventy-fve per cent. of the peop.e in the
United States are afflicted with some form Of
kidney disease. I do not think that the rate is SO

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 ~exists?"
The Doctor thought a mement and then said:
ut is a fact not generally recognized that where
a person has diseased kidneys and the organs
po;i ~ ,arforr, tbair functions 0f rpmOviup the
waste and the impurities from the system, it
soon produces melancholia. AS a result asylums
are flledto overlooking, 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 asylums. Ihave
noticed that a large portion of all paresis cases
had kidney difficulties"
What have you found, Doctor, to be the
standard and most reliable remedy in such
~cases?''
DR.. Spray spoke with great confidence. He
said: !" Having so many cases to treat, tried
various remedies, and after a long and exhaust
i've trial finally decided that Warmers Safe Cure
was the best, most effective and most reliable
remedy. found it specially reliable in cases of
inciplent Bright's disease. 1t is certain to stop
it. and even in tine advanced conditions it allays
the disease, and to my surprise at first, cured
many cases. Before structural changes set in,
it is certain to cure, if properly administered "

saves. Ihave occasion to use the Safe Cure
almost daily. Whenever l find traces of albu-
men in the urine of a patient, l prescribe the
Safe Cure. and in nearly every instance where l
notice indications of nervousstroubies, / analyze
the urine, and almost invariably find that it is
caused by some affection of the kidneys. Inow
have a patient to whom l am giving the Safe
Cure, and find it is having the desired effect.
Some time ago a gentleman came to me, who
had been examined for life insurance. and trace
of albumnan were found. / advised the use of
the Safe Cure, and he passed the examination
witnout difficulty after having used it :"
II understand, then, Doctor, that you attrib-
q large percentage Of the ills OF life to some dis
ease of the kidneys, and that you havefound the
remedy of which you speak the most effective in
such eases.n
tYes. / have no hesitation in saying that
Warmers Safe Cure has my unqualified endorse
ment. / use it constantly, and would not do so
unless | thought it possessed curative quail
Ties
The high standing, wide experience and great
success Of DR.. Spray make his words exceedingly
impressive. Their sincerity cannot be question
ID, and their truthfulness is absolute. Impressed
