Some Interesting Facts from Prominent

We sometimes see in the papers a thrill
ling account of where perfectly sane
person has been confined in an asylum.
Think of it, readerl How long would you
retain your senses if you were confined
with number of lunatics, night and 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. G.
Spray of 1853 State street, Chicago. For
nearly ten years DR.. Spray was in charge
OF the Jefferson, now Cunning, institute,
at Cunning, Ill. This tremendous insti-
tuition contained about twelve hundred
patients in the insane department, and
fifteen hundred in the infrmary. Among
this large number of persons there were a
vast number of physical ailments. DR..
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 authorI-
ties make an estimate that 70 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, should
think, fully that percentage.
'This is something terrible, doctor.
Few people can certainly DE aware that
so large percentage exists?''
The doctor h ought moment and then
said:
sit is a 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 q 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 so many cases to treat.
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. l
found it specially reliable in cases of in
cipient Bright's disease. It is certain to
stop it, and even in the advanced condi-
tons 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"
stHas your experience while at the asy-
J m, Doctor, been confirmed in your gem
eral practice since leaving it?''

attribute large percentage OF tne Ills OF
life to some disease of the kidneys, and
that you have found the remedy of which
you speak the most effective in such
cases.

The high standing, wide experience and
great success OF DR.. 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, have transcribed his words in full
and give them herewith.
