Most Valuable Experience.
We sometimes see in the papers a
thrilling 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 ch arge 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 A:
what wonderful chance for learning
the miseries Of life and how best to over.

We ara brought to these reflections by
a conversation lately had with DR.. ] G.
Spray of No 1853 State street. Chicago.
For nearly ten years Dr. Spray was in
charge of the Jefferson, now Dunning,
Institute at Dunning, Ill. This tire
mendOus institution contained about
twelve hundred patients in the Insane
Department, and fifteen hundred in the
lnhrmary. Among this large number of
persons there we're vast number of
physical ailments. DR.. Spray, speaking
about it, said
u traced the great cause for most Of
the mental and, indeed, physical disOr-
ders very carefully, and while some au-
thories 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
rate is so high, taking all ages into con-
sideration Before middle life it is less
than seventy five per cent, but after
middle life it is. should think, fully
that percentage"
This is something terrible, Doctor
Few people can certainly be aware that
so large a percentage exists2"
The Doctor thought moment and then
said: 1T is fact not generally recog

patients in the asylums. have noticed
that large portion of all paresis cases
had kidney difficulties
"What have you found, Doctor, to be
the standard and most reliable remedy
in such cases2'
DR.. Spray spoke with great conf
dence He said Having so 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 rel able
