Valuable Experience.

We sometimes see IN the papers a thrill
ing account Of where perfectly sane per-
son has been confined in an asylum. Think
Of it, reader! Eow 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 by year, to live among them. What
wonderful opportunities they have for
studying characteristics and vagaries :
what a 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.. ]. C.
Spray, of l63 State Street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years Doctor Spray was in
charge OF the Jefferson, now Dunning, In.
etitute, at Dunning, Ill. This tremendous
institution contained about twelve hundred
patients in the Insane Department, and fif-
teen hundred in the infrmary. Among this
large number of persons there were a vast
number Of physical ailments. Dr.. Spray,
speaking 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-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
1t IS less than seventy-fve per cent but
after middle life 1t 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 a moment and then
said: 1T is fact not generally recognized

exceedingly impressive. Their sincerity
