We sometimes see IN the papers a thrill
ing account of where a perfectly sane per
son has been confined in an asylum. Thinh
of 1t, readcrl How long would you retain
your senses if you were confined with 1
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 aud vagarics
what o 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. G..
Spray, of 16} State Street, Chicago, For
nearly ten years Doctor Spray was in
charge of the jefferson, now Dunning, In.
%stitute, at Dunning, Ill, This tremendous
institution contained about twelve hundred
patients in the Insane Department, and if
teen hundred in the intlrmary, Among this
large number of persons there were a vast
number of physical ailments. DR.. Spray,
speaking about it, 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 sc~venty-iive 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
1T Is less than seventy-tive 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 50 large
a percentage exists"
Tho Doctor thought a moment and then
sad; ut IS Il fact not generally recognized
that whore a person has diseased kidneys
and the organs fail to perform their lunc-
tons OF removing the waste and the i'm.
purities from The system, it soon produces
melancholla As IL result our asylums are
filled to o~yerlIowing, while if the peonlc
would strike at the root of the matter and
see that their Kidneys were in good order.
there would be fewer patients in tho asy-
lunls | have noticed that u large portion
all parcsis eases had kidney difficulties. +"
"What have you found, Doctor, TO be the
standard and most reliable remedy in such
Cascs?'
DR. Spray spoke with great confidence.
