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

We sometimes see IN the papers q thrill
ing accoun of where q perfectly sane per
son has been confined in an asylum. Think
OF it. reader! How long would you retain
your senses it 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 characteristic and vagaries;
miseries OF life and how best to overcome
them.
We are brought to these reflections by q
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 Dunning Institute, at Dun
tanned about twelve hundred patients in
the Insane Department, and fifteen hun-
dred in the infrmary. Among this large
number of " ms there were q vast num-
Der Of physical ailments. DR.. Spray, speak
ing about it said:
II traced the great cause for most Of the
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, l do not
think that the rate is so high, taking all
ages into con. Iteration. Before middle life
it is less than sevensy-five per cent. but aft
er middle life it is, l should think, fully
that percentage"
This is something terrible, Doctor. Few
people can certainly, be aware that so large
q percentage exists?"
The Doctor thought o moment and then
said: ut is a fact not generally recognized
that where a person has diseased kidneys
and the organ fail to perform their func-
tons of removing the waste and the impur-

would strike the root ofthe matter and
see that their ..idneys were in good order,
there would be fewer patients in the

ton OF all paresis cases had kidney difficult

"What have you found, Doctor. to be the
standard and most reliable remedy in such
cases?"
DR.. Spray, spoke with great confidence.
He said: ''H wing SO manyc cases to treat,
l tried various remedies, and after a long
and exhaustive trial, finally decided that

"Yes. I have occasion to use the Safe

scribed the Safe Cure, and in nearly every
instance where l notice indications OF nerv-

II underst: ID. then. Doctor, that you

life to some disease of the kidneys, and
that you have foundthe remedy OF which
you speak the most effective in such
cases"

The high standing, wide experience and
great success of DIR. Spray make his words
exceedingly impressive. Their sincerity
cannot he questioned, and their truthful
ness is absolute. Impressed with this fact,
and realizing the importance of the same,
