these workers day and night, all dill
J gent in business, the most entire and
everlasting harmony. And there is
also the most delicate and wonderful
sympathy. IF one member suffer all

And when the blood has gotten out
to the extremities, and been to all parts
Of the system, and left its treasures
along on the way as they were needed,
for freely it has received and freely it
gives, then there is another set of
tubes or channels prepared to take
the blood, and with it what was not
needed, or good for nothing, or had
been used till it was worn out, back to
the right side of the heart. From this
it is sent again with its load to the
lungs, for the purpose by expiration
of throwing off what is not needed,
and what, if retained, would only be a
burden and do mischief; and also by
Inspiration of taking in new store
and setting out again on its journey
around the system. And to give il
good speed, the heart, like steam en-

All the organs of the human body
have as much to do as is consistent
with permanently healthful action and
with the longest continuance of human
life, when men take nothing but suit
