MISERlES OF LIFE

(Chicsgo Journsl.)
We sometimes see In the papers q
thrilling account Of where n perfectly
sane person has been confined in an asy-
lum. Think Of it, reader! How long
would you retain your senses If you were
cOnfined with q number Of lunatics,
night and day; and yet think Of the ply
sicians in charge Of these patient, who
are compelled, day by day and year by
year, to live among them. What won
derful opportunities they have for study
ing characteristics and vagnries; what a
wonderful chance for learning the mis-
cries Of life and how best to overcome
them!
We are brought to these reflections by
conversation lately had with Dr.. j. C..
Spray, of l63 State street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years Dr. Spray was in charge
Of the Jefferson, now Dunning, Ins,i-
tute, at Dunni' 6, Ill. This tremendous
institution contained about twelve hum
dred patients in the Insane Department,
and fifteen hundred in the lnflrmary.
Among this large number Of persons
there were a vast number of physical
ailments. DIR. Spray, speaking about it,
said:
IL traced the great cause for most of
the mental and, indeed, physical tlisor-
ders very carefully, and while some au-
thOrities make an estimate that seventy
five per cent. Of the people in the United
States are afflicted with some form Of
kidney disea.e, do MOI think that the
rate Ia 80 high, taking all ages int. con-
sidera,iOn. Before middle life it il less
Than @rventy-five per cent. but after
middle life 1t 10, should think, fully
that per crntage."
"Ihis Is something terrible, Doctor.
Few p-eple can certainly be aware that
SO large a percentage exists?"
The Doctor thought moment and
then said: 1T is Il fact not generally
recognized that where person has dis
easeu kidneys and the organs fail to per-
form their functions Of removing the
waste and the impurities from the sys-
tenn. 1t soon produces melanvll"lia Al "a

Kidneys were in good order, there would
be fewer patients N the asylums. | hnve
noticed that II large portion Of all paresis
eases had kidney difficulties.''
NV hat have you found, Doctor, to be
a nj ~,
in such cases?" DI. spray spoke with
great confidence. He said: .'lIayiur so
many cases to treat tried various rene
dies, and after long and exhaustive
trial. finally decided that Warmers Safe
Cure was the best, most effective, and
most reliable remedy. found it epe-
ciallv reliable in cases Of incipient

"fias your experience while at the asy-
lum, Doctor, been cOnfirme in your
gensra practice since leaving it?''
"lee. l have occasion to Use the Safe
Cure almost daily. Whenever / find
