RETAIN YOUR SENSES.
COULD you IF YOU WERE CON-
FINFD IN AN ASYLUM.
Some Interesting Facts From a
Prominent Scientific Man Who
Has Had Most Valuable Elk
perIence.
Chicago Journal.

We sometimes see in the papers thrill
ing account of where perfectly sane per-
son has been confined in an asylum. Think
oft reader! How long would you retain
your senses II you were confined with q
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
miseries OF life and how best to overcome
them,
We are brought to these reflections by a
conversation lately had with DR.. JIG. Spray
OF 1853 State Street, Chicago. For nearly ten
years Doctor Spray was in charge Of the
Jefferson, now Cunning Institute, at Dun
ming, Ill. This tremendous institution con-
tanned about twelve hundred patients in
the Insane Department, and fifteen hun
dred in the infrmary. Among this large
number OF persons there were vast num-
Der OF physical ailments, DIR. Spray, speak
ing about it said:
Il traced the great cause for most of the
mental and indeed physical disorders very
carefully, and while some authorities make
an estimate that seventy-five 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 sevensy-five per cent. but aft
er 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 moment and then
said: ut 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 impur-
from CUSfnm TNrn11I0no
lancholia. AS result our asylums are fill
ed to overlooking, willie if the people
would strike at the root the matter and
see that their kidneys were in good order,
there would be fewer patients in the
asylums. Ihave noticed that large por-
ties"
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,
l tried various remedies, and after a long
and exhaustive trial, finally decided that
Warmers Safe Cure was the best most efftc-
tive and most reliable remedy. l found it
specially reliable in cases of incipient
Bright's disease. 1t is certain to stop it,
and even in the advanced conditions it al
lays the disease, and to my surprise at first,
cured many cases. Before structural

Has your experience while at the asy-
lum, Doctor, been confirmed in your gen.
eral practice since leaving it2"
Yes. ! have occasion to use the Safe
Cure almost daily. Whenever | find traces
of albumen in the urine of a patient, pre-
sCribed the Safe Cure, and in nearly every
instance where | notice indications of nerv-
Gus torubleS, / analyze the urine and al
mot invariably find that it is caused by
some affection Of the kidneys. Inow have

Cure. and find that it is having the desired

to ME, who had been examined for lite in.
surance, and traces of albumen were found
advised the use of the Safe Cure and he
passed the examination without difficulty
after having used it"
Il understand, then. Doctor, that you
attribute 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 saying
that Warmers Sac Cure has my unquali-
fled endorsement. ! use it constantly
and would not do SO unless thought il
possessed curative qualities"
The high standing, wide experience and
great success of DR.. Spray make his words
exceedingly impressive. Their sincerity
cannot be questioned, and their truthful
ness IS absolute. Impressed with this fact
and realizing the Importance of the same,
have transcribed his words in full and
give them herewith.
