We sometimes see IN the papers thrill
ing account of where perfectly sane per-
son has been confined in an asylum. Think
OF it. readeri How long would you retain
your senses If you were confined with s
number of lunatics, night and day, and yet
think of the physicians In charge of these
patients who are compelled, day by day anu
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.. 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, IL This tremendous
institution contained about twelve hundred
patients in the Insane Department, and fif-
teen hundred in the infirmary. Among this
large number of persons there were vast
number of physical ailments. DR.. Spray,
speaking about il, said:
81 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 seventy-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 so large
percentage existsl"
The Doctor thought moment and then
said: ''It is a fast 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 a result our asylumS 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 asy-
lums. 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
cases2'
DR. Spray spoke with great confidence
He said: "Haying so many cases to treat,
I tried various remedies, and after a 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
Bright's disease. It is certain to stop 1t,
and even in the advanced conditions il al
lays the disease, and to my surprise at first,
cured many cases. Before structural
changes set in, it is certain TO cure, If prop
erly administered"
'Has your experience while at the asylum
