We sometimes see IN the papers thrill
| Ing account OF where q perfectly sane per
son has been confined in an asylum. Think
OF it. readeri How long would you retain
your senses II you were confined with q
number OF lunaics, 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
miseries OF life and how best TO overcome
thcm.
We are brought to these reflections by o
conversation lately had with DR.. J. c.
Spray, OF 163 State Street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years Doctor Spray was in
charge Of the Jefferson, now Dunning, In
stitute, at Dunning, Ill. This tremendous
institution contained about twelve hundred
patients in tho Insane Department, and If
teen hundred in the inhrmary. Among this
large number OF persons there were vast
number Of physical ailments. DIR. Spray,
speaking about It, said:
~ traced the great cause for most Of the
mental and indeed physical disorders very
carefully, and while some authorities make
an estimate that seventy-ive 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 oil
ages into consideration. Before middle life
1t is less than sevcnty-fve per cent but
after middle life 1t is, should think, fully
that percentage"
'This is something terrible, Doctor. Few
people can certainly be aware that 80 largo
percentage existsp
Tho Doctor thought . moment and then
said: 'It is fact not generally recognized
that where person has diseased kidneys
and the organs fail to perform their func-
tons Of removing the waste and the i'm
purities from the system, It soon produces
melancholia AS q result our asylums are

would strike at the root OF the matter and
see that their kidneys werc In good order,
there would be fewer patients in the asy-
lums. have noticed that q large portion
Of all paresis cases had kidney difficulties"
"What have you found, Doctor, to be the
standard aud most reliable remedy in such
casesr
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
Warmers Safe Cure was the best, most eff
fective and most reliable remedy. found
It specially reliable In cases of incipient

and even In the advanced conditions IL al

"Has your experience while at tho asylum,
Doctor, been confirmed in your general
practice since leaving itr'
"Yes. l have occasion to use the Safe

not do so unless thought it possessed cura-

The high standing, wide experience and
great success OF DR.. Spray mako his words
exceedingly impressive. Thor sincerity
cannot be questioned, and their truthful
ness is absolute. Impressed with this fact
and realizing the Importance Of the same, I
have transcribed his words IN full and give
them herewith
