Scientific Man Who Has Rad a Most
Valuable Experience.
[Chicago Journal
We sometimes see in the papers a thrill
ling account of where a perfectly sane
person has been confined in an asylum.
Think of it, reader! How long would you
retain your senses if you were confined
with a number of lunatics, highland 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.. J. c.
Spray of 1853 State street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years DR.. Spray was in charge
OF the Jefferson, now Cunning, institute,
at Dunning, Ill. This tremendous insti-
tuition contained about twelve hundred
patients in the insane department, and
fifteen hundred in the infirmary. Among
this large number of persons there were a
vast number of physical ailments. DIR.
Spray, speaking about it, said:
81 traced the great cause for most OF the
mental and, indeed, physical disorc ers
very carefully, and while some authorl-
ties make an estimate that rs per cent. OF
the people in the United States are
afflicted with some form of kidney dis
ease. do not think that the rate is so
high, taking all ages into consideration.
Before middle life it is less than rs per
cent, but after middle life it is, l should
think, fully that percentage. ~
''This is something terrible, doctor.
Few people can certainly De aware that
SO large percentage exisfs?''
The doctor thought a moment and then
said:
sit is fact not generally recognized
that where person has diseased kidneys
and the organs fail to perform their func-
! tions of removing the waste and the i'm
purities from the system, it soon pro-
duces melancholia. AS 8 result our
asylums are filed to overlooking, while if
the people would strike at the root of the
matter and see that their kidneys were in
good order, there would be fewer patients
in the asylums. I have noticed that a
large portion of all paresis cases had kid
ney difficulties.
"What have you found, doctor, to be
the standard and most reliable remedy IN
such cases?'
Dr. Spray spoke with great confidence.
He said: Having go many cases to treat.
| l tried various remedies, and after a long
and exhaustive trial, finally decided that
| Warmers Safe Cure was the best, most
effective and most reliable remedy.
found it specially reliable in cases of in
cipient Bright's disease. 1t is certain to
stop it, and even in the advanced condi-
tions it allays the disease, and, to my
surprise at first, cured many cases. Be
fore structural changes set in, it is GER
tain to cure, if properly administered. -
| elias your experience while at the asy-
J m, Doctor, been confirmed in your gen.
eral practice since leaving it?'
ayes. have occasion to use the Safe
Cure almost daily. Whenever l find
| traces of albumen in the urine OF a pa
tient, / prescribe the Sale Cure, and in
nearly every instance where | notice in
dications of nervous troubles, I analyze
the urine, and almost invariably find that
it is caused by some affection of the kid
neys. l now have a patient to whom
| l am giving the Safe Cure, and
find that it is having the desired
effect. Some time ago gentleman came
| to me, who had been examined for life
insurance, and traces of albumen were
found. l advised the use of the Safe Cure
and he passed the examination without
difficulty after having used it. -
az understand then, doctor, that you
attribute large percentage of the ills oil
life to some disease of the kidneys, and
that you have found the remedy of which
you speak the most effective in such
cases.
ssYes, I have no hesitation in saying
that Warmers Safe Cure has my unquali-
fed endorsement. l use it constantly
and would not do so unless l thought ii
possessed curative qualities.
The high standing, wide experience and
great success OF DIR. Spray make his words
exceedingly impressive. Their sincerity
cannot be questioned, and their truthful
ness is absolute. Impressed with this
