We sometimes see IN the papers q thrill
Ing account Of where a perfectly sane per-
pon has been confined in an asylum. Think
OF IL, readcrl How long would you retain
your senses II you were confined with q
number Of lunatics, night and dry, 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 vagarics;
what a wonderful chance for learning tho
miscrics Of life and how best to overcome
them.
We are brought to these reflections by q
conversation lately had with DR.. j. G.
Spray, Of 163 State Street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years Doctor Spray was In
charge Of tho Jefferson, now Dunuing, In
~atitute, ut Dunning, Ill, This tremendous
institution contained about twelve hundred
patients IN the Insane Department, and M.
teen hundred In tho infrmary. Among this
large number Of persons there were o vast
number Of physical ailments. DIR. Spray,
speaking about II, said:
~ traced tho 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 tho United States are afflicted
with some form Of kidney disease, l do not
think that the rate Is 30 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 existsW
The Doctor thought a moment and then
said: at 10 a fact not generally recognized
that where n person has diseased kidneys
And the organs fail to perform their func-
tons OF removing tho waste and the i'm.
purities from the system, 1t soon produces
melancholia AS q result our asylums are
filed TO overlooking, while II the people
would strike ut tho root OF the matter and
see that their Kidneys were In good order,
there would be fewer patients In tho asy-
lums. l have noticed that q large portion
Of oil paresis cases had kidney difficulties"
What have you found, Doctor, to DO the
standard and most reliable remedy In such
casesi"
DR. Spray spoke with great confidence.
He said: "Havtng so many cases TO treat,

and exhaustive trial, finally decided that

fective and most reliable remedy. found

Doctor, been confirmed In your general

~ understand, then, Doctor, that you ut.
tribute q 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 cases."
"Yss. Ihave no hesitation In saying that

dorsement. use 1t constantly, and would
not do so unless l thought 1t possessed curs'

The high standing, wide experience and
great success Of DR.. Spray mako his words
exceedingly impressive. Their sincerity
cannot DO questioned, and their truthful.
ness Is absolute. Impressed with this fact,
