[Ch cago Journal.I
We some times see in he papers thrill.
ing account of where u perfectly sane per-
son has been confined In an asylum
Think of 1t, readeri How long would you
retain your senses II you were confined
with number of lunatics night aud 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 theml
We are brought to these reflections by a
conversation lately had with DR.. j. T..
Spray, OF 1853 State street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years Dr. Spray was in charge
OF the Jefferson, now Dunning, Institute,
at Dunning, Ill. This tremendous insti-
tuition contained about twelve hundred
patients in he Insane Department, and
fifteen In the Infirmary. Among this large
number of persons there were vast mum.
Der OF physical ailments. DIR Spray, speak
Ing about it said:
"I traced the great cause for most of the
mental and, indeed, physical disorders
very carefully, and while some aut horities
make an estimate that seventy five per
cent. of the people in the United States
are afflicted with some form of kidney
disease, do not think that the late is so
high, taking all ages into consideration.
Before middle life IL is less than seventy
i've per cent, but after middle life 1t Is,
should think, fully that percentage.
This is something terrible, Doctor.
Few people can certainly be aware that 30
large percentage exIsts?"
The Doctor thought moment and then
said:
at Is fact not generally recognized
that where person has diseased kidneys
and the organs fail to perform their func-
tioDs of removing the waste and the i'm
purities from the system, IL soon produced
melencholia. AS a result our asylums are
filled TO overfiowing, while II the people
would strike at the root OF the matter and
see that their kidneys were in good order,
shere would be fewer patients in the asy-
lums. L have noticed That large portion
of all 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.
He said: "Having 80 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 must reliable remedy. /
found 1t specially reliable in cases OF in
cipient Bright's disease. IL Is certain to
stop Ii, and even in the advanced condI-
tions 1t allays the disease, and to my sur
prise at first, cured many cases. Before
structural changes set in, II Is certain to
cure, II properly administered"
"Has YOUR experience while at the as
ylum, Doctor, been confirmed in your
general practice since leaving lt?"
"Yes. 1 have occasion TO use the Safe
Cure almost daily. Whenever find traces
of albumen in the urine OF a patient, 1
prescribe the Safe Cure, and IN nearly
every instance where notice indications
OF nervous troubles, l anylyze the urine,
and almost invariably find that it il
caused by some affection of the kidneys.
1 now have patient to whom i am giving
the Safe Cure, and find that it is having
the desired effect. Some time ago a gen.
tiemen came to me, who had been examined
for insurance, aud traces of aibumen were
found. advised the use of the Safe Cure,
and he passed the examination without
difhculty after having used IT,"
''I understand, then, Doctor, that you
attribute large percentage Of the Ills Of
life to some disease Of the kidneys, and
that you have found the remedy Of which
cases."
Eyes. j have no hesitation In saying
that Warmers Safe Cure has my unquali-
fed endorsement. use il constantly, and
would not 90 so unless thought it pos
sessed 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 fact,
and realizing the Importance Of the same,
