RETAIN YOUR SENSES !
COULD YOU IF YOU WERE
CONFINED IN AN ASYLUM ?
Some Interesting Facts From a
Prominent Scientific Man Who
He's Had a Most Valuable
Experience.
(CaicaDo Journal)

(CHic00o JourNaI)
We sometimes see in the papers q
thrilling account of where perfectly
sane person has been confined in an
asylum. Think of it, reader! How
long would you retain your senses if
you were confined with a 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 and year, to live among
them. What wonderful opportunities
they have for studying charact rislics
and vagaries what wonderful chance
for leaning the miseries of life and
how best to overcome them.
We are brought to these reflections
by conversation lately had with DR..
y. c. Spray, of 1853 State street,
Chicago. For nearly ten years Doctor
spray was in charge OF the Jefferson,
now Duuuing, Institute, at Dunning,
III. This tremendous institution CON
tanned about twelve hundred patients
iu the Insane Department. and fifteen
hundred in the iniirmary. Among
this large number of persons there
were vast number Of physical
ailments, DR.. Spray, speaking about
it, said:
II traced the great cause for most of
the mental and indeed physical dis
orders very carefully, and while some
authorities make an estimate that
sevemty.hve 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 five
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 50 large a percentage exists?'
The Doctor thought moment and
then said at is q fact not generally
recognized that where person has
diseased Kidneys and the organs fail
to perform their functions Of remov-
ing the waste aud the impurities from
the system, it soon produces melan-
cholia. As a result our asylums are
filed to overlooking, while if the
people would strike ut the root of the
matter and see that their kidneys were
in good order there would be fewer
patients in tile asylums. | 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 cases
DR.. Spray spoke with great conf
deuce. He said: Having so many
cases to treat, | tried vari us remedies,
aud after a long and exhaustive trial,
finally decided that Warmers Safe
Cure was the best, most effective and
most reliable remedy. / found it
speCi llly reliable in cases of iucipient
Bright's disease. 1t is certain to stop
it, and even in the advanced condi-
tiOns 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 admin
isteredn
"Has your experience while at the
asylum, Doctor, been confirmed in
your general practice since leaving
it?p
Eyes. l have occasion to use the
Safe Cure almost daily. Whenever |
find traces of albumen in the urine of
a patient, / prescribe the Safe Cure,
and in nearly every instance where |
notice indications of nervous troubles,
/ 8nalyze the urine, and almost in
variahiy find that it is caused by some
affection of the kidneys. l now have
q patient to whom 1 am giving the
Safe Cure, and find that ii is having
the desired effect. Some time ago a
gentleman came to me, who had been
examined for life insurance, aud traces
of albumen were found. | advised
the use of the Safe Cure,and he passed
the examination without difficulty
after having used it,"
II understand, then, Doctor, that
you attribute a large percentage of the
ills of life to some disease of the
kidneys, and that you have found the
remedy of which you speak the most
effective in such cases"
"Yes. / have no hesitation in say
ing that Warmers Safe Cure has my
unqualified endorsement. l use it
constantly, and would not dOso unless
/ thought it possessed curative quail
ties.n
The high standing, wide experience
and great success Of DR.. Spray make
his words exceedingly Impressive.
Their sincerity cannot be questioned,
and their truthfulness is absolute.
Impressed with this fact, and realizing
the importance of the same, / have
| transcribed his words in full and give
! them herewith.
