RETAIN YOUR SENSES!
Could You II You Were Confined III
an Asylum?
Some Interesting Facts from n Prom.
incnt Scientific Man Who Has Had
Most Valuable Experience.

IHICnUO JOITnnt. VI t"
We sometimes 500 in the papers a
thrilling account OF where n perfectly
sane person has been confined in an
asylum. Think OF 1t, reader! How
long would you retain your senses II
you wero confined with q number OF
lunatics, night and day, and yet think
Of the physicians in charge OF these pa
ticnts who arc compelled, day by day
and year by year, 10, live among them.
What wonderful opportunities they
havo for studying characteristics anil
vagaries; what n wonderful chance for
learning the mysteries Of lifo and how
best to overcome them.
We are brought to these reflections
by n conversation lately had with DR.. j..
G. Spray, Of 1853 State street, Chicago.
For nearly ten years Doctor Spray was
in charge Of the Jefferson, now Cunning,
Institute, ut Dunning, III. This tre.
mcndous institution contained about
twelve hundred patients in the Insane
Department, and fifteen hundred In the
intlrmary. Among this large number
OF persons there wero n vast number OF
physical ailments. DR.. Spray speaking
about it, said:
~ traced the grentcause for most, OF
tho mental and indeed physical disor-
doris very carefully, and whilo some au.
thorities make mn estimate that seventy
tivepercent Of the people in the United
States are afflicted with some form OF
kidney disease, | do not think that tho
rate is SO high, taking all ages into con
sideration. Before middle" life it is less
than sevonty-tive per cent. but after
middle lie it is, | should think, July
that percentage"
"This is something terrible, Doctor.
Few people can certainly be aware that
SO large n percentage exists"
The Doctor thought o moment and.
then said: ut is n fact not generally
recognized that where u person has dis
eased kidneys and the organs fail 10 per-
form their functions OF removing the
waste and the impurities from the svs-
tenn, it soon produces melancholia. As
4 result Dur asylums are filled to e
flowing, while ii tho people would strike
ut the root OF the matter and see that
their kidneys were in good order, there
would be fewer patients in the asylums.
have noticed that u large portion Of
all paresis cases had kidney difficulties"
"What have you found, Doctor. TO be
the standard and most reliable remedy
in such cases ?"
DR.. Spray spoke with great con.
iidence. He said: ~"flaving so many
cuses TO treat, Tried various remedies,
and after q long and exhaustive trial,
finally decided that Warmers Sale Cure
was the best, most effective aud most
reliable remedy. l found it specially
reliable in cases Of incipient Bright's
disease. 1t is certain to stop it, and
even in the advanced conditions it
allays the disease, and to my surprise at
first, cured many cases. Before struc-
tural changes set in, j. is certain to
cure, if properly administered"
"Has Your experience while at the
asylum, Doctor. been confirmed in your
general practice since leaving it,?
"Ies. Ihavc occasion to use the Safe
Cure almost daily. Whenever | find
traces Of albumen in the urine OF a ia
tients, l prescribe the Safe Cure. and in.
nearly every instance where l notice in
dications OF nervous trouble, ! a~nalyze
the urine, and almost invariably find
that it IS caused by some affection Of
the kidneys. Inow have n patient to
whom 1 am giving the Safe Cure, and
find that it is having the desired effect.
Some time ago q gentleman came to me,
who had been examined for lie insur-
ance. anl traces OF albumen were found.
| advised the use OF the Safe Cure, and
he passed the examination without dbl
lculty after having used it,"
II understand, then, Doctor, that YOU
attribute j large percentage OF the ills
OF life 10 some disease OF the kidneys.
and that you have found the remedy OF
which y~ou'speak the most effective in
such cases"
"Yes. | have no hesitation in saying
that Warmers Safe Cure has my I'M
qualified endorsement. l use it con
stantlv, and would not do so unless l
thought it possessed curative qualities"
The high standing, wide experience
and great success OF Dr.. Spray make his
words exceedingly impressive. Their
sincerity cannot be questioned, and
their truthfulness is absolute. I'm
pressed with this fact, and realizing the
imporlanc e OF the same, l have trans
cribed his words in full and give them
herewith. "
