RETAIN YOUR SENSES
Could You if You Were Confined in an
Asylum?-Some Interesting
Facts
From a Prominent Scientific Man Who
Has Had a Most Valuable
Experience.

We sometimes see in the papers thrill
ling account of where q 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 number of lunatics, day and
night, and yet think of the physicians in
charge Of these patients are compelled,
day by day and year by year, to live
among them. What wonderful opportu-
mites they have for studying characters
ties and vagaries; what wonderful
chance for learning the miseries of life
and how best to overcome them.
| We are brought to these reflections by
conversation lately had with DR.. j. c.
Spray, of l63 State Street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years DR.. Spray was in charge
of the Jefferson, now Cunning, Institute
at Cunning. III. This tremendous insti-
| tute contained about twelve hundred pa
tents in the insane department, and ff-
teen hundred in the intirmary. Among
this number of persons there were a vast
number of physical ailments. DR.. Spray.
speaking about it, said:
II traced the great cause for most of the
mental and indeed physical disorders very
carefully, and while some authorities
make an estimate that sevcnty-fve per
cent of the people in the United States are
afflicted with some form of kidney disease
l 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, l should
think, fully that percentage"
"This is something terrible, DOCTOR
Few people can certainly be aware that so
| large percentage exists"
The doctor thought moment and then
said: st is a fact not generally recog-
niZed that where person has diseased
kidneys and the organs fail to perform
their functions Of removing the waste and
impurities from the system, it soon pro-
duces meanchoia. AS result our asy
lums are filled to 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. l have noticed that
large portion of all paresis cases had kid
ney difficulties
"What have you found, doctor, to be the
standard and most reliable remedy in such
cascs?'
DR.. Spray spoke with great confidence.
He said: Having so many cases to treat
tried various remedies, and after a long
and exhaustive trial, finally decided that
Warmers Safe Cure was the best, most ef-
fective and most reliable remedy. found
it specially reliable in cases of incipient
Brights disease. 1t is certain to stop It,
and even in the advance conditions it al
lays the disease, and to my surprise at
first, cured many cases. Before structur-
al changes set in it is certain to cure if
properly administered"
HAS your experience while at the asy-
lum, doctor, been confirmed in your gem
cral practice since leaving it?''
Eyes. haye occasion to use the safe
cure almost daily. Whenever l find traces
of albumen in the urine of patient pre-
scribe the safe cure, and in nearly every
instance where l notice indications of
nervous troubles, analyZe the urine and
almost invariably find that it is caused by
some affection of the kidneys. ] now have

effect. Some time ago gentleman came
to me who had been examined for life in
surance, and traces of albumen were
found. / advised the use of the safe cure
and lie passed the examination without
difficulty after having used it,
81 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
cascs?.'
"Yes. l have no hesitation in saying
that Warmers Safe Cure has my unquali-
fled endorsement. use it constantly and
would not do SO unless l thought it pos
sessed 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 truth is
absolute. Impressed with this fact and
realizing the Importance of the same, I
have transcribed his words in full and
igiye them herewith.
