We sometimes see in the papers q
thrilling aceouu OF where a perfectly
sane person has been confined in an
asylum. Think of it, readerI How
long would you retain your senses ii
you were confined with Il number of
lunatics, night and day, and yet think
OF the physicians in charge of these pa
tents who are compelled, day by day
and year by year, to live among them,
What wonderful opportunities they
have for studying characteristics and
yagaries; what u wonderful chance for
learning the miseries OF life aud how
best to overcome theml
We arc brought to these reflections
by q conversation lately had with Dr.. j.
@, Spray, OF 1863 State street, Chicago.
For nearly ten years DR.. Spray was in
charge OF tho JeliersoR, now Duuning,
Institute, at Dunning, III. This ire
mendous institution contained about
twelve hundred patients in the Insane
Department and fifteen hundred in the
InfrmNry. Among thia large number
OF persois there were q vast number OF
physical ailments. Dr. Spray, speaking
about it, said:
~ traced the great cause for most OF
tho mental and, indeed, PHI. ,ical dis.
orders very carefully, and Mhile> some
authorities make an estimate that
seyenty-fivo per cent Of the people OF
the United States ara afflicted with
| some form OF kidney disease, | do not
think that tho rate is so high, taking all
ages into consideration. Before middle
life it Is less than seventy-fye per cent,
but after middle life it is, l should
think, fully that percentage"
"rhis is something terrible, Doctor.
Few people can certainly be aware that
SO large q percentage eXists2"
The Doctor thought q moment and
then said: at is a fHct not generally
recognized that where u person has dis
eased kidneys and the organs fail to per.
form their functions Of removing the
waste and the impurities from the sys-
tenn, it soon produces melAncholia. As
a result our asylums are filed to over
flowing, while il the people would strike
~ Nv A1Oh VI lAN llAAlktl anu eOo klluL
their kidneys were in good order, there
would be fewer patients in the asylums.
| have noticed that n largo portion of all
paresis cases had kidney difficulties"
"What have you found, Doctor, to be
tho standard and most reliable remedy
in such c0ses?'
DR.. Spray spoke with great confidence.
He said: "iiaying so many cases to
treat, | tried various remedies, and after
q long and exhaustive trial, finally do.
Cided that Warmers Safe Cure was tho
best, most effective 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 adj
vanced conditions it allays the disease,
and, to my surprise at first, Cured many
cases. Before structural changes set in,
it is certain to cure, If properly admin
istered."
"Has your experience while ut tho
asylum, doctor, been confirmed in your
general practice since leaving it?"
Eyes. | have occasion to use the
Safe Cure almost daily. Whenever |
find traces of atbumen in tho urine OF a
patient, l prescribe the Safe Cure, and
in nearly every instance where | notice
indications Of nervous troubles, | anal.
we tho urine, aud almost invariably
find that 1t is caused by some affection
OF the kidneys. | o have n patient
to whom ! am giving the Safe Cure, and
find that II is having the desired effect.
Some time ago q gentleman came to me,
who had been examined for life insur.
ance, and traces OF albumen were found.
| advised tho use OF the Safe Cure, and
he passed the examination without dif-
tlculty after having used it."
IL understand, then, doctor, that YOU
attribute u large percentage Of the ills
OF life 10 some disease OF the kidneys,
and that you have found the remedy of
which you speak tho most elective in
such cases"
Eyes. have no hesitation in saving
that Warmers Safe Cure has my IN
qualified endorsement. | use it con-
stantly, and would not do so unless l
thought it possessed curative quail
%ities."
The high standing, wide experience
and great success OF DIR. Spray make his
words exceedingly impressive. Their
sincerity cannot be questioned, and
their trntbfulness is absolute. I'm
pressed with this fact, and realizing the
Importance Of the same, l have tram
scribed his words in full aud give them
herewith.
