Wa sometimes sec in tho papers a thrill
ing account of whore a ~erfeotly aane per-
son has boon confined in an asylum. Think
of IL, reader! How long would you retain
your senses il you were confined with a
number of lunatios night and day, md yet
think of the physicians in charge Of these
pasiento who are compelled. day by day and
year by year to live among them. What
wonderful opportunities they have for
studying characteristics and vnQaries; what
a wonderful chance for learning the miser-
les 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 1G3 state street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years d.. Spray was in charge OF
tho Jefferson, now Dunning. institute, ut
Cunning. LII. This tremendous institution
contained about twelve hundred patients in
the insane department.. and fifteen hundred
in the infrmary. Among tho large number
OF persons there WINS Il vast number of phys
zeal ailments. DR.. Spray, speaking about
it, said:
II traced the Rrent cause for most of tho
mental and, indeed, physical disorders very
carefully, and while come authorities make
an stimat that rs per cent of the people
IN the United States no afflicted with some
form OF kidney disoage, | do not think that
the rate ia SO high, taking all ages into con-
sideratlon. Before middle life it is less
than 70 per cent. but after middle life it is,
l should think, fully that p~ercentaRe."

people can certainly be aware that 30 large
q percentage ~oxists?"
Tho doctor thought a moment and then
said: ut is q fact not generally reoop-
nized that where n person has diseased
kidneys ind the organs fail TO perform
their fu%nctions Of removing the waste and
impurities from the system, it soon pro.
duces ~melancholih: AS Il result our asy-
lums are filled to overlooking, while if the
people wonld strike at tho root OF The mat
ter and see that their kidneys were in good
order, there would be fewer p%ntients in the
asylums. l have noticed that a large por-
ton OF paresis cases had kidney difficult
ties"
'What have you found, doctor, TO be the
standard and most reliable remedy in such
~cases?"
DR.. Spray spoke with great confidence.
said; Having go many cases to treat,
l tried various remedies. and after n long
and exhaustive trial. finally decided that
Warner's Safe Cure was the best, most ef-
fectlve and most reliable remedy. | found
it specially reliable in cases of incipient
Bright's disease. 1t is certain to stop it,
and even in the advanced conditions it al
lays the disease, and, to my surprise at
first. cured many cases. Before structure al
set in. it ia certain to cure, if prop.
erly administered"
HAS your experience while at the asy-
doctor. been confirmed in your general
since leaving it?'
Yes, have occasion to use the Safe
Cure almost daily. Whenever l find traces
OF albumen in the urine of a patient, | pre-
scribe the Safe Cure, and in nearly every
where / noticed indications of
nervous troubles, l analysed the urine, and
almosti invariably find that it is caused bv
affection of the kidneys. l now have
Cure, and find that it is having tho desired
effect. some time ago a gentleman came to
who had been examined for life in
s%urance. and traces of albumen were found.
| advised the use of the Safe Cure, and he
passed the examination without difficulty
after having used it,"
~ understand, then, doctor. that You at
q lnrge percentage OF the ills of life
TO some disease of the kidneys, and that
7ou nave found the remedy of which you
'peak the most effective in such %cases."
Yes. have no hesitation in saying that
sac Cure has my unqualified en-
iorseMent. use it constantly. n would

sreas success of Dr.. spray mako his words
